/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Hey guys not sure exactly which thread this belongs in.

I've been doing a massive wardrobe purge lately to get my daily wardrobe down to strictly himekaji/larme styles. Most things have been easy for me to either put into storage or get rid of, but there's one item causing me trouble.
I got a pair of doc martens as a graduation present years ago and they just mean too much to me to give up. It's a shame to keep them in storage all the time, since they were pretty expensive and they take up a lot of space. I know that generally trying to shoehorn something in when it has nothing to do with the style is a terrible idea, but maybe just this once, if it's only one item in my whole wardrobe, maybe it can still work out?
Is it possible to cute these up with the appropriate outfit, or maybe with a little modding?
I've been thinking of adding scalloped edges and bows like I see on some lolita boots but I'm afraid that it will just look out of place because the sole is so thick compared to lolita boots and with the bright yellow doc threading.
What do you guys think? Pic related are the boots and some ideas I had to make them cuter.
