What I Wore: 4.5.10 // Crazy Boots

April 5, 2010

These Dries van Noten babies are like an acid trip for your feet. They’re a bit of a departure from my normal style, but I love them so much. Perfect for Spring, they’re super soft and slightly slouchy. I’d watched these boots a solid six months as they languished on the Halo sale rack and finally swooped in when they reached 70% off.

Hailing from Fall 2008, I lusted after every single piece of psychedelic / marbled / splattered clothing in that collection. I never ended up with any of the clothing, but these boots and a pair of pumps I got last year are plenty enough of a compensation. They’re definitely coming with me to Vegas this Spring!

I wore:

Dress, H&M
Yellow slip, Forever 21
Avant Garde necklace, plastique
Bow, Forever 21
Boots, Dries van Noten
Watch, Nixon

    Annie Spandex: Dries as usual was way ahead of the curve!

    luxlux: Psychedelic summer indeed! Totally perfect style direction, methinks.

    Ashley: The room that’s almost all black is my living room. THe all white room is the former dining room that we just redid. Gotta put a few finishing touches on it and then I’ll show it in detail!

    Insomnia: Haha….in reality, that’s my living room and dining room!

    Charlene: Totes psychedelic!

    Sally: They’re pretty nuts for wearing around Portland, but that’s never stopped me before!

    Yours are wonderful…They’re even better looking in person. I love the Halo sale rack!

    Those boots are so rad! I definitely need to track down a pair of psychedelic boots to add to my ever growing collection of shoes.

    And although it’s a change from your usual style it fits you incredibly well.

    I would rock the hell out of those boots. Nicely done. I hope to stumble across them by the front door soon!

    Wow! They’re beautiful Nubby. Whenever I think psychedelic I always think Zappa! It’s inspired me to invest in some quality shoes next purchase. I used to have a huge sneaker collection that I loved dearly. Lately it’s been $10 ballet flats tho. I’m definitely a great bargain hunter, having limited funds definitely makes you think creatively about EVERYTHING… from being inventive with meals with only three ingredients in the cupboard, to cutting your own hair and revamping old favourites in the wardrobe lol

    i just noticed little Rocky sitting by you in the last shot. If it wasn’t for his jacket, he’d look like part of the rug.

    Does those come on a size 5? It seems like pretty shoes never comes in my petite size!

    Those boots are AMAZING. I love the green bits. Not your usual style, but that’s what makes you so damn chic….you branch out when you are inspired! Mmmmm…..Dries…..

    This is a random question, but I have that Nixon in wood and if I wear it with a bracelet/cuff, I find it’s really hard to work on my computer. Keeps clackity clackin’. Do you take yours off to work or does it just not bother ya?
