I’ve finally joined the Dr. Martens club! The lovely team over at Dr. Martens recently sent over a pair of their Clarissa II Quad Leather Platform Sandals. I thought I would share some of the outfits I’ve been wearing my new sandals with and how I’ve been getting on. This week we visited the Lake District for a short staycation, there will be plenty more posts coming about our trip. However, it was the perfect time to take my new Dr. Marten sandals out for a spin.
It’s no secret that Dr. Martens generally take a while to break in but that’s because they are so well made with genuine leather and also some styles come in vegan leather. The Clarissa II Quad Sandals are platforms so they give you a little height. With that they are quite weighty but you soon get used to it! I’ve been wearing them around the house to break them in and sometimes with thick bed socks. Personally, I’ve not really found them to be too problematic but it’s always good to have some spare plasters in your bag. The Clarissa ll Quad Sandals are such a versatile pair of sandals, there are so many outfits to wear with them. You can see that I’ve been dressing them both up and down.

These are just a few of the outfits that I wore during my holiday to the Lakes. As you can see my new Dr. Martens sandals went absolutely perfect with every outfit. Whether it was dressing up for a meal in the evening or dressing down for a wander around the lakeside, they are such a versatile piece. I can’t wait to wear them throughout Summer and I can already tell they will be a staple item within my wardrobe. I feel so cool and edgy now that I’ve got a pair of Docs!
