Tough Love

carmen pedaru

I’ve been really loving the Biker Boot look lately. I keep stopping by Aldo and Browns to stare at and touch their Motorcycle Boots. Browns’ boots are so hot, with chains and buckles, kind of a beigey-colored suede, but costs $598!!! Not for a trendy piece! No, thanks. Aldo’s are much more affordable, and much simpler at that, but still nice and rugged. I guess I want to show off my tougher side, what after a summer of girly dresses and cutesy heels.

I love the look with leggings or skinny jeans. I also love it with mini dresses, the look most boys will surely disapprove of. But as they say, girls don’t dress for boys. Girls dress for other girls! And my girls will surely approve!

But can mere mortals pull this look off? Or does one have to be as tall and skinny as Carmen Pedaru (above) in order to avoid looking stalky? I guess if I continue to stalk those boots for another week, I’ll just have to budge and get them…skinny legs or not.
