Admittedly, they&#8217;re $860, so you might want to buy the more &#8220;practical&#8221; black patent version. But if you you already have black boots, I would go wild and spring for the white pair. I bet you&#8217;ll still have them in 20 years. I think it&#8217;s so cute that the heels are gold (on the black pair, the heels are silver).<\/p>\n<p>I will re-share a picture of me from Halloween 2005 dressed as a &#8220;Mod&#8221; in my Ossie Clark dress, genuine &#8217;60s vinyl bubble hat and painful, plastic knockoff boots (the only boots I could find).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_gTmdbGeiE-E\/RxzetxfzZoI\/AAAAAAAABEE\/zj30IBOoW6Q\/s1600-h\/halloween2005_1.jpg\" onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5124215354002990722\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_gTmdbGeiE-E\/RxzetxfzZoI\/AAAAAAAABEE\/zj30IBOoW6Q\/s320\/halloween2005_1.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThere are some beautiful patent coats out now.
