My inbox is filled with a variety of interesting queries that range from makeup application to dressing up. I usually answer questions privately but I realized that the best way to address such questions is through dedicating blog posts to them. This post marks the start of this blog’s Q&A section entitled STYLIZE.
Dr. Martens footwear generally emanates the whole butch rebel feel with their unique style of chunky boots. So when they launched their floral motif collection I was pleasantly surprised. Floral Dr. Martens boots successfully bring together opposite ends of the spectrum – rigid rebels and delicate florals. This mix of styles opens doors to a variety of outfit combinations.
First things first, pick out a pair of floral Dr. Martens. There’s a variety to choose from. I, personally, prefer this white pair; it looks clean and the florals are subtle.
Floral boots can be incorporated to just about any outfit. It works well with simple, bold, or wild ensembles. It adds an interesting layer of prints and colors to a simple outfit; it enhances the impact of a bold outfit; and it adds more character to a wild outfit. It can also be tailored into either an edgy or girly sense of style.
These are examples of the outfits that can be worn with floral boots. It ranges from something as simple as a black and white skirt to something as wild as a polka dot dress.
I went on Polyvore and created ensembles that revolve around floral boots. I came up with two distinct looks. One is for an edgy girl while the other one is for a girly girl. You can create your own outfits at Polyvore. Try it out, its pretty awesome!
Remember, don’t be afraid to mix prints or to wear too much florals or mix bold colors – there really are no rules. Just trust your own eye for style, wear what you are comfortable with and you will end up with a great outfit.
