Boots: Doc Martens.  Jumper: Zara for men.  Skinnies: Trash & Vaudeville

I got the Docs in Camden Town in London at the original Dr Martens shop  (remember this video when I was over there)? For those watching, apologies in advance for the camera see-sawing – wtf was I on?

After that black & white spring post below, I’m thinking more about what to keep and what to toss – especially boot wise. For me the Docs stay.

You know that ‘rule’ of if you’ve not worn it in (insert length of time) then toss it.  If I’d listened to that I’d have dumped these boots ages ago.

I say eff rules and keep what you bloody well want and toss what you want.  I only say that because I think we all really know what we should chuck anyway.

It’s just a matter of having the guts to do it.  Am I right?

    I love your outfit and Sir Oliver?!?!? Gimmeee! He looks cuddly 🙂
    You are sooooo right! Most times we’re holding on to items that we just don’t have the guts to chuck, lol. Sentimentality perhaps?

    I love the look!!! Love everything about it! Definitely reminiscent of London (Shoreditch springs to mind)!

    If I’d made the rules I’d say, only toss what you can’t physically wear -too small- because everything might come back!

    What to keep and what to toss… The endless question of editing! Always a struggle 🙂

    The first image is the best image I think I’ve ever seen of you. It is so soft, yet warm — straight out of a catalogue for something. Beautiful.

    I am half and half on this one. I do believe in a good clearout but I also believe every woman’s wardrobe must have some emotional pieces in there too. Otherwise it would be far to matter of fact. I have pieces I may never wear again but they mean too much to me to get rid of. I enjoy just knowing they are there. Em xxx

    Love your pants and boots 🙂

    Gabrielle – very sentimental. It’s a bit sad really! Thank you re Sir Oliver : ))

    Emma – I know what you mean but I think the number of emotional pieces that’s kept is really the challenge.

    The White LIst – and THATS why I can’t get rid of the Docs. It’s too much like home.

    I love those pants! They are so cool. Very inspiring!! from, FashionFindsbyRachel.com

  19. Karen says:

    Thx Rachel! I’d been eyeing them a while so caved.

    Beantownbrown – yes Sir Oliver is gorgeous isn’t he? Of course I’m biaised.

  20. Ruvarashe says:

    Absolutely right… lol. If I followed that rule I would have tossed a whole lot of lovely vintage pieces. I collect vintage and some pieces I only wear months or even a year later. Your winged eyeliner looks great. Which eyeliner did you decide to stick with?
