Miko here o/ let's admit it, I love those thick boots. Don't know why, but it's an aesthetic. Wanted to use them on my Dancer due to the glorious irony of extremely heavy boots with a light-footed battle prancer. Figured it was only fitting to make her look like a rough n' tumble sort of gang girl. The only real struggle I had was with the chestpiece, but figured something short and with attitude would help play the part. A good replacement for the scarf would be the cotton scarf, dyed black :D
