Last year the combat boot trend hit London h.a.r.d. I jumped straight on to the bandwagon. Armed with my badass-don’t-mess-with-me-don’t-even-look-at-me-funny boots I felt invincible, I even developed a swagger. And then one evening on my way home from work, my lace of my left boot got caught in the gaping eyelet of my right boot and down I went (we won’t mention the very embarrassing high pitched squeal that managed to frighten a passing cyclist). Right outside of work. At home time. After assessing the damage hidden behind a car, I hobbled back to the train station and spent the rest of my journey sobbing like a drunk hobo with muddy/bloody ripped jeans. Needless to say the offensive boots were tossed to the back of the cupboard never to been seen again… Ok, not quite, I took them out the next week, ripped out the eyelets and resumed my swagger. What can I say? I looooovve my dangerous combat boots. And I have no less than 2 pairs on my Christmas wishlist! What say you to the mighty combat boot? Like or loathe?
I even love them on men…

you poor thing! although i'm glad you kept on wearing on them!
ReplyDeleteYou make me want to go out and buy some combat boots! Sure, when I was in the Army I wore combat boots ALL the time, but it would be fun/cool to rock some stylish ones! Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan even though I don't have any yet. I just don't want to look like myself in 8th grade wearing Doc Martins.
ReplyDeleteOh, no! That sounds so traumatic! But I'm glad you got your swagger back : ) These photos are fantastic. They make me want to give boots like these a try.
ReplyDeleteSo cute when the outfit is totally girlie. But, I could also see someone feeling unstoppable when wearing them with jeans.
ReplyDeleteI like them a lot, but they are not really me (except for a few high-heel types). I prefer biker boots. But every time I see a cute pair of combat boots I think about it again!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you told that story!!! I love the boots but have yet to get a pair. I'm especially digging the the worn and faded ones.
ReplyDeleteOh I absolutely embrace the combat boots!!! In my hay day of going to clubs in my 20s, that is when they were hot .... which is a good thing because we danced all night and they were so comfy. All of your pictures that you posted are very inspiring and now I know what to look for when shopping in L.A. in a couple of weeks. Yay!!! Gonna get myself some boots!! Great post.
ReplyDeleteI love them! I'm so pleased you didn't let that unfortunate incident keep you from your combats - no pain, no gain, I say! Those guys look hot too! xxx
ReplyDeleteComplete love.
ReplyDeleteOh yes- I can't live without my boots - I have a pair 3 years old that I am still in love with!

I would love a pair like the brown ones in the denim shorts outfit. I hope you've had a wonderful weekend, Meghan! xo

Love them! They are completely badass, even when you were whimpering, I bet ya no one messed with you ;) The brown ones in the first image are amazing, I need me some of those! x
ReplyDeleteDefinitely think they're awesome (and love them on guys too) but I don't own a pair. :( I want to be bad-ass too! haha!
