Mis botas favoritas,,,

Sooo, I just moved to Madrid. Im 21, recently graduated, pursuing a Master’s in Fashion Styling, just attended my first fashion week etc, etc.

Out of all the things I could write about and post on this page, the inspiration for this first post hit me when I least expected it. On my walk home today, lost in thought thanks to my current music hyper fixation, I noticed a literal pep in my step.

I’ve never used that phrase before, but today it felt entirely true.

When I packed up my life for Europe a month ago, I left these boots back home. My mom shipped them to me last week, and putting them back on made me realize how much of myself was missing without them.

I will never not be fascinated by the power of clothing and them as a medium for identity and self expression. For some, clothing is just protection from the elements. For me, its a piece of my soul.

I’ve had these boots for almost three years now,, a random depot find. The price made me hesitate at first so I started asking random people in my life for their thoughts. I got mixed reviews:

  • "I would never wear them, but I can see them on you"
  • "They're so you"
  • And my personal favorite (the one that actually made me doubt buying them for a second): “They remind me of Peter Pan”
