Dr Marten + beads

by Karen Blanchard
29 December 2011

I wonder if there’s a place where you cannot wear vintage.  Doesn’t bear thinking about…


Dress: Vintage but I’d wear this one till the beads sequins fell off. Cardigan: Club Monaco for Men.  Similar cardis (here) or (here). Boots: Dr Marten bought in London (these are similar). Winter leggings: American Apparel (wore my last pair all winter till they fell apart). Bag: thrift shop in Brooklyn. Shades: Ray Ban. Nails: American Apparel . Been told though that I MUST try this other one (here) which I will.  
It’s not even New Years yet and my old vintage beaded numbers are coming out.  I tell you: there are not enough events in a year to wear them.  
Wore mine with the thickest cardigan. You’ve seen it before in this post with heels which reminds me, got to start switching it up and wear some platforms again. I miss them.

Twitter followers did you see the ‘sexy time’ platform stilettos a few days ago? 

Got. To. Post. Those. Soon.

    more than the dr. martens i loved the dress! i love laces, and this one is not too much, the right amount of exposition. i really like it. i love the black tights, the effects it gives to this look, it would also work with ankle boots, heeled sandals, wedges or simple ballerinas. i really like this outfit!
    thanx for sharing karen!

    Ahhh Vintage beads have a special place in my heart too. Except my little purse strings haven’t quite stretched to them yet. I love this dress and I especially love how you paired it with docs <3

    Thx everyone! and for those who have Docs they are the best aren’t they?

    Best part is they get 10 x better as they get older.

    Onbeaty – agreed on the other footwear options.

    Twins – yea I’ve heard the prices in France are ridic!

    Love it!! Especially that Cardigan I have to invest in an over-sized knit cardigan they seem so versatile!!

  29. Karen says:

    Asia – do, they’re so handy year round actually. Don’t forget to check mens sections. That’s where this one is from.

    Kay – perfect : )
