Great Minds Think Alike … About Embroidered Boots

June 13, 2012 by WendyB

I’ve always wanted a pair of embroidered vintage Golo boots.

Aren’t they spectacular?

These suede Jimmy Choo boots remind me of the Golos …

… but the Choos are more subtle, with less embroidery and muted colors. I’m going to hold out for the eye-catching originals.

    I like the originals too. Really stunning, and I adore that chunky heel.

    Yes those are divine! I’ve been on the hunt for a great pair of Victorian embroidered boots. The Choos are a bit watered down, go hard or go home!

    Those are BOOTS!! I’ve never seen them before – where have I been? You don’t walk in these – you fly.

    I love the Golo boots, that’s what I call Flower Power.

    Ellen’s boots “kick” Jimmi Choo’s ass!

    Indeed, who wants subtle when it comes to embroidery? Go for the Golo.

    Is it tacky to want embroidered boots and a matching embroidered gown? Because I want those.
