Dr. Martens

When I was a kid, I had a pair of Dr. Marten's that I actually wore as my dress shoes.  I was watching one of my all time favourite Korean dramas, Boys Over Flowers, when I saw the main actress wearing Dr. Marten's!  Seeing her with a pair made me want a pair!!  I thought the company was bankrupt, but I think they are slowly making a slight comeback.  They actually look cute, and they add an edge to girl-ier outfits.  The downside, they don't come cheap for shoes you don't wear too often, ranging from $120 US and up on Dr Marten's website.
