i realize that these pictures just scream "myspace",
but i was so in love with these boots that i simply had to have an in-room, unplanned photo shoot right then & there.
as an added bonus, there's even a story attached to these boots.
&i adore being able to tell it everytime someone asks about these heavy-duty beauties.
storytime!;
my dear old papa is in the military, & as a young teenager i often complained about his inability to get me a pair of combat boots. i'd long since forgotten about my persistent request, but he hadn't.
when he was home for the holidays, he pulled these out of his closet & said "i know it took me awhile, but i came through!"
&these are even better than the real thing.
they were given to him by a friend who brought them over with her from england in the late 80's, early 90's.
they're so deliciously brit-punk.

ringin' in the new year.
a new year has always meant a time for change,
&as i'm not one for new year's resolutions i tend to focus all that change into my wardrobe.
i forsee many a cozy sweater/cardigans, skinny jeans & high boots, bright colours to make my days less drab & yummy scarves to wrap myself up in.
once again, polyvore has allowed the mish-mash of fashion floating around in my mind to find it's way onto the internet.
