I feel so spoiled rotten today. I’ve been saying recently that I wanted to get a new haircut and buy a new pair of Chuck Taylors. But I hadn’t wanted to spend money on myself right now.
This morning, my hunny took me out and paid for me to get my haircut, and while I was having that done, he wandered next door to the shoe store and found me this adorable pair of Chucks!
(He said when he saw the teal double-tongue, he knew I’d love them.)
I love these boots.
Like, love them.
When I moved to Nashville in January 2007, I promised myself one thing I had to do was buy a pair of “real” cowboy boots.
I’m not really a cowboy (cowgirl?) type of chick. I don’t live on a ranch, I don’t ride horses, and I really don’t listen to much country music either. But I still wanted a pair of boots. BAD.
I never got around to buying a pair until earlier this year when I was getting ready to leave Nashville to move home to Pennsylvania. I guess I realized if I was going to buy a pair, I’d better hurry up!
So now I have these fabulous boots, but I feel weird wearing them. They’ve mostly sat in my closet since I moved up here.
This morning, on a whim, I decided to wear them to work — and ya know what? No one noticed anything out of the ordinary. (Leastwise, no one commented on them.) I guess I was feeling self-conscious about my boots for no reason.
I may just LIVE in these boots for the rest of the autumn and winter…
I thought weather in Erie was crazy. (And it is.)
When I looked at my shoes by the front door on Sunday afternoon, I had to laugh. (And snap this photo.)
Everything from fleece-lined boots to flip-flops. And I’ve worn them all in the last week.
The weather over the weekend was gorgeous. When I went out with my friends Saturday night, I wore a t-shirt, jeans, and flip-flops.
Sunday was even warmer; I think the news said that it got up to 65 degrees. Unfortunately I spent most of the day in the house wrapping up the last bits of cleaning and packing. But it was so sunny and beautiful that I wound up wearing a comfortable jersey-knit sleeveless sundress while I worked.
… Sundresses and flip-flops in February!? I love it. Too bad the forecast shows the temperature dropping again over the next several days. I guess you have to take what you can get this time of year.
