Docs Forever

From Sasha at Violet Folklore

God, I just LOVE Doc Marten boots! I was so happy to see them stomp back onto the scene this spring. I was itching to score some for our Etsy, and my dreams came true last week– I was meeting my multi-talented musical friend Ricky Berger for a morning Rollerskating Adventure in Citrus Heights, and I managed to dash into a massive Salvation Army before our date. There they were, waiting for me in the "Boutique" section! I was more than happy to pay a little extra for these boots, since I know first hand how comfortable they are, and how long they last. I just love the green color, too– I’ve been finding so many things in green lately!

Our model Cynthia rocked these Docs with leggings and a babydoll dress on our last photoshoot. I used to swear by the Docs with girly vintage dress look myself, back in The Day. Sure got me a lot of, ahem, suitors.

My first pair of Docs were 14 eyes in black, and I wore those babies for seven years straight. When they were finally beyond repair, I had to let them go, and it was like losing old friends– after all, those boots had seen all the good, the bad, and the ugly, and they probably knew me better than I knew myself. I had a little ceremony for them, including taking a roll of pictures of me kissing them very reverently, before burying them in my parent’s backyard. (I PROMISE to dig up those pics when I go home for Christmas!!!)

Thus the racing heart upon the Return of the Docs. Some people just don’t GET them (as Amber has confessed to me– it’s okay, I still love you, sistah), but if you do, you know what I mean. Nothing can replace a good pair of Docs. And if you’re a size 7, get on over to our shop right now, cause I made them a crazy low price as my personal sacrifice to the Doc Marten Gods. Boot it UP, ladies!

    Did I not also mention that I rocked the hell out of a number of pairs of Docs back in My Day? Including a pair of LONDON THEMED PRINT pink and purple boots, mmmkay? Those were to die for.
    For now, they just aren’t something I want to bring back into my closet, except maybe a pair of mary janes.
    The green boots though, those may be changing my mind…

    Love the Docs pics… the 90’s were such a wonderful time stylistically (in my opinion) and I am enjoying this little comeback as well :)
