Fashion Crisis :: Dr Martens Dilemma
Okay, so I’m having a bit of an emergancy… I need inspiration and ideas to wear with my Cherry Red 1460 Dr Martens boots… They are new, as I’ve never worn them (too busy to at the moment with work etc), and I have no idea what to wear them with. I’ve seen a few ladies around the city and town wearing floral dresses, red scarves, red hair and the cherry boots. I’m also tempted to get some lovely ribbons to lace my boots with, rather than using the original lace.
Skirts and dresses are worn with Dr Martens these days, to give them a feminine look and a cute vintage style. They are more than just ‘shoes’ as they are stacked up (in their boxes) with my clothes; my shoes live elsewhere.
I have fairly large legs too. They look good in a lovely short skirt etc, but in jeans or trousers, they look like tree trunks, and if I wear trousers/skinny jeans, I know I’ll look very odd indeed. What do you folks wear with your Dr Martens?
If I can’t figure something out but January, I’ll have to hit my Youtube page at TheHarlequinDays. Ah… what to do?
Red is my all time favourite colour, and has been since I was 4 or 5. Don’t forget I have an afro… so wearing red boots in the UK can be seen as kinda ‘whoa shock 80s riots’…
What do you think of these pictures? I’m making a new dream/mood board for my wardrobe and I’m almost complete.
What could go with my other boots too? Help!!!
Help!!!
Dr. Martens Sale!
I have a friend who has 3 Dr. Marten boots, never worn, that she’d like to sell ASAP. Like me, we both love Dr. Martens, and yes we see shoes and buy them, without ever wearing them… Shoot me, I’m a woman with shoes in my DNA. I’m also selling a pair of Dr. Martens, but in a different size =] I have 2 Navy boots… I only need one, get my drift?
With Dr Marten boots, over time, you’ll stretch them whilst breaking them in, and try to wear them for 2 hours a day INDOORS, until they do break in. My 3rd latest pair had a motorised wheelchair driven over them… ouch.

The Right Foot Needs It
ASOS - Ash
I am not sure, but I love these shoes. They are by Ash. Cute.
ASOS - Arizona
These are shoes that would be good with a nice pair of blue or black skinny jeans, or a nice plain and neutral toned dress.
Dr. Martens & ASOS
I still need to buy these boots. As you know, I’m a huge DR. Martens lover! These boots are the 1460 8-Eyelet, and available at ASOS and DR. Martens.
Carvella shoes and boots can be found in most high street stores, but I buy mine directly from the Kurt Geiger website. I love Carvella and Kurt Geiger designs!
ASOS - ABLAZE
Ooh god these are mouth watering. I’d wear these with a plain dress, or a plain outfit, just to have people look at my feet! Haha, no I do’t have a foot fetish… I just want my feet to look lush.
