Everyone remembers their first pair of Dr. Martens, and well, so do I. I earned my very first pair of 'Hair on Horsey' Dr. Martens (Hold your horses! No horses were killed in the making of it.) in exchange of good grades back when I was still a freshman in poly. (You can say that was my parents' way of keeping me motivated in school by rewarding me with things I hint them over and over. Yes, lucky I am indeed.) I bet no one has ever tried walking around campus this way, like I did. And as the saying goes - "You Only Live Once (YOLO)", so why not right? (Geez. Whoever invented that term first.)
This leather backpack is a new addition. It has served me well, and I believe, anything Dr. Martens will last me a lifetime. Everyone else must love it too, based on the amount of compliments I have received. How do you like my white on denim get-up?
I think transparency is not a trend for everyone. It all depends on where the see through panels are on your outfit.
Style Tip: You can get away with fleshy arms for sheer sleeves. Never wear thongs or G-strings for sheer skirts or you will look shanky.
(On me: Gingham Jacquard Tee c/o TopShop, Leather Pencil Skirt c/o TopShop, Silver Sandals c/o TANGS Studio - similar here)
Before I begin, I have to confess that this fresh pair of soft metallic flat sandals was bought at a steal. A similar pair elsewhere would probably cost a whooping $100+, but I got mine at half price! (around $20-ish after discount)
Gone are the days when leather was reserved for tough, biker inspired outfits. It is so versatile, it's got almost everyone investing in it now. I decided to play with Gingham prints on mine.
'Gingham' Style Tip: Achieve a corporate look with small checks or tone your look down with the more colourful options.
