Oh no...or oh yes?

Now that I have seen Dr. Martens in yellow, I can't get them out of my head! But on the other hand I can't help thinking that such an intense colour, perhaps doesn't go that well with being 40.
Dr. Martens støvle '8 huls'


And how weird is that? I have never ever had a problem about my age, but since I had my last birthday, it somehow pops up in my mind, whenever I make a choice concerning my apperence.

It doesn't prevent me from choosing wisely and having it my way in the end, but the fact that the thought enters my mind at all, bothers me horribly. Do you know that feeling?

Oh, and by the way. If you see a 40 year old in yellow Dr. Martens some time in the future, then maybe it's just me...

    Okay, I've got to admit it. I'm 65 (no longer a youngster of 40) and this is by far my favourite colour. For many years, I have owned a pair of mustard yellow Klondike felt-lined rubber snow boots. They are so worn, I have had to put duct tape on the toes to plug the holes and keep the water out while I'm walking through deep puddles. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go shopping for some new boots.

      Here I am smiling all over my face. I love your comment. It's so wonderful that you wear yellow boots and have done so for a long time. If only there were more people like you, to put some colour in our everday choices. :))

      I hope your next boots will be just a colourfull and pretty. Maybe yellow Dr. Martens? Good luck finding a new pair.

      And thanks a lot. :))

    40 er da en kvindes bedste alder, så hvorfor skulle du ikke købe præcis de ting der falder dit hjerte nært?!? Gå efter de gule-de er jo som skabt til årstiden... ;)

      Du har ret, Rikke. Det er en god alder hvor man føler sig meget mere afklaret omkring utrolig mange ting. Men alligevel synes jeg ikke, at jeg føler mig så meget ældre inden i. :))
      Så de gule støvler må jeg have. :)

      Rigtig god weekend.

    I have Dr Martens in yellow with big letters on like these: http://s667.photobucket.com/albums/vv37/davide_firme/Unisex/Scarpe/DR%20MARTENS%201B89%20YELLOW/?action=view&current=DRMARTENS1B89YELLOW3.jpg&sort=ascending

    I wear them with pride knowing the fact that there are no other limits than the ones we put on our selves or each other. Get those boots and love the fact that a happy and young mind does not have anything to do with age!!!! Good luck being yellow!!!!

      I see why you love them, Lone. They are so cool! :))

      And you are absolutely right about your point.
      I do think that I have a young mind (hopefully I have kept the child within as well), but it really annoys me, that the thought about being 40 even has anything to do with my apperance.

      I'm definitely going yellow. :))

      Have a lovely weekend.

      Det er noget mærkeligt noget, Dorthe, for jeg tænkte det ALDRIG da jeg var 39!! Er det ikke underligt?
      40 er ingen alder, det er jeg helt enig med i. Og mine mange elskede Converse støvler forlader mig ikke foreløbig. ;))

      Lige om lidt bestiller jeg de gule støvler. Jeg vil bruge dem til Emmas konfirmation tror jeg.

      Hold da op hvor bliver jeres udestue flot. Jeg er helt misundelig, selvom jeg under jer den flotte (og hyggelige - for det må den helt sikkert blive) bygning af hele mit hjerte. Tænk lige at sidde med en god bog så tæt på jeres have. Eller et lille strikketøj. :)

      Rigtig god fredag.

      Det er dejligt med så mange farve glade kvinder, Miri. Jeg håber virkelig, at jeg har det som du når jeg bliver 7 år ældre.

      Hver gang jeg ser en ældre kvinde omkring de 60 med en elegant, enkel og smart stil, tænker jeg at det er dejligt og befriende (- og håber i mit stille sind at jeg vil huske på det, når jeg engang når den alder). Heldigvis er der efterhånden rigtig mange af den slags kvinder. Da jeg var barn var 60 lig små buttede bedstemødre i kjoler. :) Godt at det har ændret sig...

      Rigtig god weekend. :)

      Så skidt da, Henning - nu du er så rar. ;) Ellers var dit lille reklame indslag røget i "skraldespanden". :)

    I hadn't either, Kate. They came a while ago and I simply adore them. I'm so happy that I bought the yellow boots. :))
