from scratch. every day.

I pretty much lived in three-eye, black Dr. Martens during the early and mid 1990s. I wore those shoes everywhere: to school, to work, to concerts, to weddings. That last one really is true, unfortunately. I wasn’t always as fashion forward as I am today, but eventually, I left behind my baggy jeans, band T-shirts and pink hair. As part of my style evolution, I traded chunky, manly shoes for prettier, girlier styles like these and these.

Even though I don’t wear them very often these days, I still have–and love–my old, beat up Dr. Martens. So, imagine my delight when I came across a totally gorgeous, feminine pair of Docs while searching for boots on Zappos recently. Of course, I had to have them. A girl needs a well-rounded shoe wardrobe, after all. And, maybe it’s because ’90s style seems to be creeping up everywhere lately (Mini backpacks? Seriously?), but these 20-eye, red ones also look awfully cute to me. What goes around, comes around, eh?
