If you want some vintage spin in your booties, try incorporating the ever reliable tweed into their modern shape– it’s quite the style combination! Just look at this lace-up bootie from the Mexican brand Plomo:
Joanna Lace Up Booties, $295, Plomo
It’s quite the stand out amongst the leather and fur-trimmed booties but I admit, it must have been because I was looking for it! I have a little weakness for tweed since I associate it with one of my favorite eras, the late 1800s. It looks smart, sophisticated and now that its on heeled boots– alluring. It’s like a female Sherlock Holmes right there.
Vintage Beauty: Tweed makes this lace-up bootie a truly retro piece
Even the heel of this bootie is covered in the tobacco-colored tweed
The bootie comes in a tobacco colored tweed and, if I’m not mistaken, a checked pattern. It is trimmed in this light brown leather, the same color as its laces. The covered stiletto heel is a little over 4″ high and is matched with a stacked platform.
Smart and sexy: Plomo’s lace-up bootie is for the confident, sure-footed woman
I can already see this shoe with a one-piece wrap dress or those pussy-bow blouses. And a classically cut trench coat would look amazing with it! Plomo has been dubbed as a brand that creates shoes for the sure-footed woman, confident and has direction. This bootie is certainly does its part in exuding power and elegance. Bravo.
