Is it possible Reality Bites is having a moment? Well, maybe not the film—which this girl, for one, loved— but definitely some of the fashion. After all, one of the must-have items for fall is the combat-style lace-up boot, which (if Winona Ryder is to be believed) can look downright girly when paired with fragile dresses and eclectic accessories. Need a more modern example? Check out this shot of Elena Perminova on Who What Wear. We love the way her boots anchor the ultrafeminine properties of the lace dress. It s nice to dream with both feet on the ground, no?
