D is for Doc Marten boots.

    When I was a teenager I wore my Docs with pride,I once got myself into trouble with the head mistress at secondary school for wearing them with my skirt in the summer time,but when winter came I put my point over to her that they where the only foot wear I had for the snow,they were not of  course but she didn't know that.I would sit every night and polish them along with my older brothers and younger brother and sisters shoes,I loved seeing them shine.
    These days Docs sure look a bit different to them a days.
           When I win the lottery I am having everyone of the following in my wardrobe, a pair to go with every outfit.

              My favourite colour.
                  I have a dress that would so go with these ones,maybe a garden party pair.
           OOOHHH I could get married again and wear these under my dress.When I was young I wanted to get married either in my Docs or my wellies, but when the day came I was sensible and wore a nice bridle pair of shoes,should of stuck to the wellies.
                    My daughter Maria had a pair just like this when she was a teenager and wore them for school because trousers where part of the uniform and they were covered up.
                        Love these.

              Now these would look lovely with skirts and dresses.
               Love, Love these ones.

              Bet these are nice and warm.
                     And these.
                    My son Jack wears ones the same as these.
                    Now these are a lovely colour for the summer with a pretty dress.
          Now these beauties are mine the ones I have been wearing this winter with jeans,with a skirt and with a dress.I bought them when we where on holiday last year in Glastonbury.They are so comfortable I forget I have them on.
          So there we are you now know a bit more about me and my fettish for Doc Marten boots.
Hope you are all well and keeping warm.Bye for now take care Love Jill xx

  1. Where do you find all these lovely Doc Martens - I am very partial to long skirts, and just think they would be perfect to wear with them.

  6. My daughter had a pair about 15 years ago when she first started working full time. No one at work complained, but one day she went into a boutique and was so angry that the salesladies wouldn't wait on her. As she was complaining to me, I asked her if she'd looked in the mirror lately...shoes that looked like army boots, mini skirt, spiky hair, and a nose ring. She could not understand it as she was a "good" girl inside. But...unfortunately looks can impart a certain image to others. Now I love these new Docs with all the colours and patterns!

    YES...I did get your email...did you not get my reply?
