Trend-Spotting: Combat Boots

So, I am no fashion expert, but I want to start "trend-spotting" on my blog because they always do that in magazines and I thought it would be fun.  After all, you don't have to be a revolutionary fashionista to have an opinion about what's going on in terms of personal adornment.

I don't know if its prominent in the fast-paced world of high fashion, but I've definitely been noticing a combat boot/doc marten trend in the small world around me.  It's the 80s reminiscent, grunge look and I love it.  It also looks nice with shorts and dresses, juxtaposing the workman/army-look with something feminine.  I love wearing them with socks that peek out over the edge.
not mine....

When my dad saw me wearing some, guess what he said. "Nice hobo boots!" ....Fathers don't understand fashion statements.
