Look at these magic carpet boots from Maison Martin Margiela. Beautiful aren't they? Sitting happily in the middle of the fashion/interiors venn diagram, they'd be right at home at That's Not My Age Mansions. And, as January is all about staying in, carpet boots feel like the perfect footwear for lolling and lounging and looking good.
Just like the rug in the Big Lebowski, these boots could really tie an outfit together. The Persian carpet colour scheme, with its indigo blue highlights, means they'd look fantastic with jeans.

And as January is the Sunday morning lie-in to December's Saturday night out, let's add a cashmere sweater.

Or a bath robe if you really want to do it like the Dude. But for a trip out - in a parallel universe where I can actually afford designer clothes - I'd throw on the gorgeous Haider Ackermann jacket that Tilda wore. With jeans of course:
How would you wear a pair of carpet boots?
Oh far, far too beautiful to actually wear! I would display them somewhere where they would be appreciated and admired........
ReplyDeleteOh I adore those carpet boots - never knew they existed - well all black outfit and just that dash of warm colour for me....
ReplyDeleteI saw those boots and had to say out loud "I need those!" I'd probably never wear them for fear of a spot. But they'd look perfect with my skinny jeans and suede jacket . . . today.
ReplyDeleteThose are fantastic!! And your Big Lebowski reference started my day off on a high note. :-)
ReplyDeleteOooh! they are gorgeous. I would keep it very simple; worn only with black so that they really stand out ;-)
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous! I love them; would be so great in a slipper style!

The carpet booties appeal to me too, perhaps because they remind of our oriental rugs.
ReplyDeleteThe cashmere knit is not bad either..
Interesting: these shoes and your blog :-)
ReplyDeleteLove those boots! And yes, wear them!! If they get worn they would just look better, just like our
ReplyDeleterugs!!
O SWOON, dark tights and a plainish skirt and top, those puppies don't need anything to detract from them.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Not for my rainy climate, though, but if we're pretending. . . let's see. . .I think I might try them with a sweater dress or shift (with sleeves, bien sûr chocolate brown or black, burgundy if I felt bold . . .midnight blue? Even the right red . .
ReplyDeleteand I love that cashmere sweater.
LOVE! I'd wear them with coloured opaque tights and a really simple, casual skirt and tshirt, maybe with that cashmere sweater on top. Would make my legs look like tree trunks though, so my version would be a bit more low-cut, like a shoe-boot affair. Ooh, or a kind of engineer boot with a boxy toe!
ReplyDeleteThey are fab.
I'm surprised, but I also like them. I wouldn't worry about wearing them out, I think they'd look better, just like oriental rugs do.
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing and I'd wear with dark indigo jeans or a skinny leg wine coloured jean. I want them! x
ReplyDeletethe boots ARE amazing. Why not buy them and park them in the middle of your rug. The husband might never know you've splurged.
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous. I'd wear them with my boring uniform of jeans and a black t-shirt!
ReplyDeleteCarpet boots? Well, I never!! That means I would if I could! Just where to find them, how to afford them, when to wear them.... so many unanswered questions.

I like the boots - but I'd worry about the carpeted heels...
ReplyDeletetoo cute.....they're art!!
ReplyDeleteMy first sofa was an Andrew Martin just like that, boy I loved it.
