One of my favorite looks in the world is the juxtaposition of combat boots with feminine skirts and dresses. (I was a teenager in the 90s, what can I say?). Today I paired my red Docs with this interesting, double-layered Victorianish skirt. I have trouble styling this skirt sometimes because of the brown/pink color combo (not really my colors) and the fact that the detailing means any tops have to be tucked in. I had the crazy idea to pair my plaid riding jacket with it (hey, it has brown elbow patches so it matches the brown, right?) and I actually really liked the Victorian vibe it gave. Added a burgundy tee underneath to pull in the color of the boots.
So today I am juxtaposing 1890s Victorian style with 1990s grunge style! And the fact that the jacket is plaid just kind of bridges these two eras!
(I do feel like this outfit might border on the costumey, am I'm sure I'll get some looks at work, but I don't mind that every once in a while.)
