Loving this Trend: Lace-up Boots

I am very surprised by the latest trend that I can't stop thinking about... lace-up boots.  Many of these styles are military inspired, more of a masculine look, which is perhaps a reason for my surprise.  I am usually quite the girly girl... 
But I love the way they are styled with skinny jeans or leggings and thick cozy socks, or setting off a cute casual dress.  I think they will be my new boot for the winter season to complement my looks as the weather gets cooler!
