Boots in the Spring?

As hard as I try to be overly girlish, I usually fail. I find myself gravitating towards men's wear inspired everything. Including footwear. From Alexander McQueen to Apt. 9, lace up booties are everywhere for spring.

How should you wear them? Thats up to you. You can pair them with thin lacy socks, a top tights, or without socks. The high heeled versions work with skirts and dresses. My preference is with rolled up twill cotton trousers or jeans to add a bit of dressy to a casual outfit.

At work, its been all about spring trends for magazines, videos and advertisements. It's because of this that I proabably blurt out "minimal dressing" or "boho-chic" in my sleep. Since spring is on the brain (though it is not at all on mother nature's) I thought I'd start giving my readers a heads up of what to save up for this spring.

I love menswear, but with a slight feminine touch. I'm girly, but I also have a rough side which is why this trend works for me. Personally, I think these classic pieces that will work year after year.
