Granny Boots....

[softgrey]

I'm thinking about resurrecting some old lace up granny boots for this fall...

seems to go well with the whole edwardian/gothic mood...

any thoughts?...

I like them. One of my major fashion regrets lately is getting a pair of great granny boots from my Grandmere and handing them back to her because they weren't my style then. No clue where they went to now.

 

[softgrey]

sorry about that gunpowder....

i am seeing more and more of these around now...
so i am pretty confident that it's the right time to pull these out...

Oh my gosh! I used to wear these types of boots in the 5th and 6th grade! Wow, I forgot about those.

 

[fab_fifties_fille]

I had a pair of these when I was a kid...I used to think I was a witch in them ...think Mildred Hubble of 'the worst witch'

I say go for it soft!...I still love the look of them...esp with the new gothic..

 

[i_<3_chanel]

omg. mildred hubble !

soft agreed . . . go for it !

 

[jennifer~]

They're my current footwear obsession: I've been thinking more than is healthy, about my hopes for happening across the elusive 'perfect pair' I'll know them when I see them

 

[snowqueen]
