Jennifer Lopez Wore Jean Boots the other day, and the internet Blew Up!

So... A few weeks back I was posting to my social, doing a throwback to the Chanel Couture Fall 2006 Show; specifically citing the denim boots. They were so good. They still are. FYI Denim boots are hot again. Remember Rihanna's Manolo Blahnik denim boots that attached at the waist with a belt? No. Currently they are display at the Bata Shoe Museum

Versace showed denim boots in their Resort 2019 Collection. Recently Jenny From the Block got a lot of attention for wearing said boots. Some people said it looked like her pants had fallen down. Insert eye roll emoji here, or déjà vu response re: Rihanna boot-gate. Back to denim boots themselves. Versace or Chanel;  I feel like there are always comparisons to be made house to house about redoing a 'thing', like denim boots. I think the trick is if you do it better, or with a twist, you are okay to reboot. 

I don't love the heel on the now infamous JLo denim boots. They are a little too wine stem-like for me. Karl's denim boots were a little more western. I like that. His were a block of a heel with a slight taper to the floor. I am really into the scandi cowboy vibe right now, so the Chanel ones are it for me. All that being said Versace showed shorter white denim boots in the same collection earlier mentioned, and I could get down with that style. They reminded me of these deadstock denim short boots I had once. They actually never fit me, the boots were too small,  but I had to have them, so I got blisters every time I wore them. You know what I am talking about. We are all guilty of buying too small or too big just cause we have to have it. Denim boots are not for everyone. If you really want to be cool buy Y Project denim boots.
