I've been talking a lot about how I want to begin to transform who I am into who I next want to be. Tonight, after a long day of school, a tutoring session, the bus not coming for almost 45 minutes and right before I had to go meet my conversation buddy for tapas, I did it: I bought the most beautiful pair of black leather boots I've ever seen.
For the past month I have been looking everywhere for perfect black boots. Every time I walked by any store that seemed to sell shoes I peeked inside for a glimpse of the perfect pair of black boots for me. It wasn't until this weekend, while avoiding the crowds at the Medieval Market, that I finally saw them waiting for me in the window like a pair of super chic puppy dogs!! ;)
I brought both my roommates to visit them and tell me if they were gorgeous like I thought they were, and of course they told me they were. And so tonight I jumped off the bus and made a beeline to the leather shoe shop! The man inside was very sweet and the exact pair of boots and size I needed (in Europe, I wear a 38 - how strange sounding) were sitting right there next to the chair you use to try shoes on.
When I put them on my feet they fit like a glove. They hugged my feet like they'd known each other for years and were close friends. The man told me that, being leather, they would stretch to my feet just a little and to not worry if they felt a bit snug.
I skipped the whole way home with my big bag with my big box with my big black leather boots inside and sand a little jig to myself about my big purchase! The boots are just so chic and look like authentic European riding boots. They are leather and suede and there is an intricate design embossed in the suede that I absolutely love. I've never considered dropping a little cash on shoes (except, okay, for Uggs), but these boots will instantly make any outfit I put on look classy. So. Excited!
XOXO
