I never thought this day would come, I am now the very proud owner of a pair of Dr. Martens! Admittedly these are floral and look more like a pair of brogues but they are still massively out of my comfort zone. When I wear things that scare me slightly, I pair them with old favourites, things that I know and love and so a colourful skirt and my trusty white top were pulled out of the wardrobe.

Coral is definitely one of those colours that completely lifts your mood, I wear it all year round but it looks best with a bit of sunshine and this Max Factor lipstain is the perfect shade of coral, perfect for disguising a complete lack of sleep too!
Another chunky necklace to add to my collection, the colours are really bright in real life and the rope style chain adds a more interesting detail...
I completely blame Claire and Kate for these glorious shoes, I admired them both in their Docs and they persuaded me to try these out and boy am I glad I did! I was nervous when they arrived as I had heard all kinds of horror stories about how difficult they are to break in but actually, so far, I have had no trouble *fingers crossed*
I bought them as I was looking for some ankle boots to wear in this less than lovely weather but everything I was looking at seemed so wintry and I'm not ready for that just yet! I love the floral print on these and the rubber sole makes them perfect for splashing through puddles [yes I am actually 5 years old!]
Although they are something completely different, I loved wearing these shoes, I felt much more confident and I felt like a bit of a rebel (well as rebellious as you can be in white floral shoes!) when I was wearing them. Lucky (!) that it is such miserable weather at the moment as I will have plenty of chances to wear them!
Do you own a pair of Docs? What shoes make you feel confident?

I love these shoes and you styled them brilliantly. I've recently bought some red Docs from EBay, second hand means they've already been worn in for me, lazy I know xxx
I would never have guessed they were Docs. They look so amazing. Love how you styled them too.
I am in love with these shoes! I've never owned a pair of Doc Martins, always been tempted to purchase but never taken the plunge. These are gorgeous though :) The colour of the skirt is beautiful too <3
Ooh and thank you for your good luck comment on my new post! :)

I LOVE them. I ama big fan of Docs in all shapes and sizes, but these are the perfect choice for you!

I LOVE DOCS.
Let that be known.
((I ALSO LOVE YOU!))
Such pretty shoes! They look great on you - and so perfect for this summer-yet-not weather we are having!
Oooh those are awesome Maria! Practical too as my dad would say :D
This is so cute! You are so pretty! :)
I looove Docs, but unfortunately I don't own any currently. But these beauties are making me reconsider
I can see why you love wearing these shoes..they're awesome!!!
I love the ones you chose, they have a pair to suit everyone. I really like the red ones and black patent but feel like they would be too masculine on me. I had a pair in school and they lasted me about 8 years!

Um hello gorgeous outfit! The skirt is so so pretty, love the colour and I think the docs look fab with it. amazing xxx
Oooh, I'm loving those Docs! I'd love a pair myself but find they're too clunky for me, think a pair like this would be lovely though as I do adore my brogues! xx
I literally love everything about this outfit - the skirt, top, necklace, shoes - everything!
xo
Ooh Maria in DMs, I like!
Love your little shoes they look so cute! I love how your trusty white top is so stunning too x x
That shirt is gorgeous! I love the detailing on it. I've never owned a pair of Dr. Martens, but if I could have a pair that are as pretty as yours, I would definitely buy them!
I've seen them in another blog! But seeing your post really makes me want to buy them!!
