Stepping Out of My Comfort Zone in Dolce Vita

FlashBack Friday

My friend “J” made me do it :)...Actually, she bought these sassy boots for me—insisting that life is not always about “being practical”.

These Dolce Vita boots do not run in practical circles. In fact, they do not run at all...at least I don't run anywhere in them. Their high heels limit my stride but in this restricted “Slow Foot” movement I can pay better attention to the scenery.

They do shout for attention in their every detail. The leather is ridiculously supple, especially the fold over cuff. The heel is a classic leather stack and shapely in making its' connection to the leather soles. The white color exudes a sense of leisure and affluence with little care that they run the risk of ruin at the hint of rain, scuffs and spills. When they are approaching, the toes are pointed right at you and as they sashay away the leather knotting waves goodbye in an undeniably flirty fashion. Dolce Vita's Facebook page confirms their style as “effortless and delightfully flirty”. I find that putting little effort into being “on my feet” in these boots is the way to go. They are best for sitting on stools or putting up on a desk--otherwise my comfort-demanding feet pitch a fit.

Dolce Vita is first and foremost a “fashion brand” which mean these ankle booties are long gone though they seem to still be considered “on trend”. Of course, you can visit your favorite Dolce Vita retailer and/or their website to check out the latest styles.

P.S.

Thanks “J” for presenting a different perspective and I want you to know that sometimes I unfold the cuffs which give them a bit of a comic hero look and pretend I am Super Woman. Can you get me an invisible plane next?
