Biker Boots

Wren Top and Necklace, F21 Watch, Zara Skirt, Gryson Bag, Vintage Boots

I have a decent collection of black boots, but most of them hit my knee or stop at my ankles, nothing in between.  When I first saw these Proenza Schouler Motorcycle Boots, I knew I had to find something similar to toughen up otherwise delicate outfits.  My flea market luck continued this week when I found these vintage look-a-likes at the Rose Bowl (for $45) that are the perfectly balanced boot amidst my many other tall and short options.

    Great boots – they look almost identical to Miu Miu’s! Love that you’ve rocked them with a body-con mini – fab look.

    I collect vintage cowboy boots that I wear often. Between those boots and my Frye boots, that’s about almost all I wear once it gets cooler in Texas. Now I’ll have to add some vintage motorcycle boots to my list of things to look for! Love the look!
