nothing but fine boot-ay here!

every winter, i longingly look at the hot boots that most chicks strut about in. you know who you are! i like looking at the scrunchy ones, the long and leathery ones, the boots with the laces, the boots that zip all the way up, or the ones with the buckles. black, brown, flats, or heels, you know i'm visually molesting every one of yous! i particularly love it when the boots are showcased uninterrupted with tights or tucked into jeans. it's cute and totally cold weather appropriate. it also gives you an opportunity to expand your look for the season, even though you'll look like every other boot wearing chick during winter. who cares right?

so every winter, i go to the shoe section of various department stores to try a few pairs on, hoping to find THE RIGHT PAIR to kick off my winter wardrobe. i generally start off feeling pretty excited because everything looks so good hanging on the racks, but after trying the first two pairs, i finally realize that my legs are more like these:

elephant legs. yup, elephant legs. they are not as dry or crackly, but my legs are short and thick. damn you genetics!

alas, boot buying has never been successful for me. it's actually quite embarassing and frustrating sitting on those chairs, trying to squeeze my thick calves into obviously small leg openings. it feels even worse when you see your skin flap spillith over or the zipper stopping midway through the zip. i have YET to find a pair....until last weekend that is. whoo hoo!

lookey at my new boots! i wanted black, flat boots and found them! i chanced upon them at aldo and snatched them up quick. i think they look cute but i also think i overpaid for them. but it's like finding water after you've stumbled through death valley ready to die from thirst. all i could think of was, I FINALLY FOUND BOOTS THAT FIT!! anyways, i wore them out once already and totally love them.

nothing like wearing pjs and using a dirty mirror to make the photo shoot a good one.
