These Boots Were Made For…

Me. These boots were destined for me. Buff coloured nappa leather, over-the-knee lace-ups. Sexy, but stern. They mean business (in a Diana-the-Huntress kind of way, not the Elvira-the-Dominatrix way that the black version implied).

I spied them in a shop window last weekend, and the very sight of them made my heart palpitate. I promptly forgot about them – until yesterday. I panicked: the shop was having a close-out sale, and I feared they had sold out, or they wouldn’t have my size. Would fate fail me after all? But no, these beauties would be mine!

And amusingly, it was cheaper to buy two pairs of shoes (spend $150 get $40 off). The second pair? Harmless flat white summer slides, the complete antithesis of the boots.
