Whilst in the exotic land known as Los Angeles, I noticed a lot of girls wearing lace up boots. I haven't really seen many of them in Chicago; I'd say most boots worn here are of the riding boot variety. A few weeks ago I was perusing through one of my favorite blogs, HiP Paris Blog, and one of the posts was about the fashion of Montmartre. Parisian women are obviously known for their chic yet timeless fashion, and general lack of falling into short-lived trends (this is actually one of New Year's resolutions, to quit buying cheap trendy stuff at Forever 21 and invest in classic staples). When I came across this awesome illustration on HiP about Parisian fashion, I was on the fence about how I felt about lace up boots. I wasn't sure I could pull them off without looking like Pippi Longstocking. However, once I saw them in person on lots of fashionable ladies in LA, I actually really liked them. Girls there wore them with leggings, skinny jeans as well as shorts, so they looked cute in any type of climate, not just cold weather. They look even edgier with the sides flipped down. Here are a few of my favorites:
