The Year of the Boot.

Back posting. Every year for about the past 5 years, I order anywhere from 3 to 6 pairs of boots online. I typically return all of them, some years I have kept one pair. Acquiring about 1 pair of boots per year for the past 10 years has led me to have a very sparse, very worn boot collection. Especially in Denver, because boot season starts in October and ends in May. Wearing my boots for work and socially, they are pretty much all done. I currently sport Uggs from junior year of high school, and that is sadly coming upon 20 years ago. It is time.

So this year, I did my typical online browsing and ordered 5 pairs. I am specifically in desperate need of GRAY or BLACK BOOTIES. The tragic news? I found many boots. None were gray or black. They all fit. They're all cute. THEY ARE ALL PERFECT. This is a dilemma, as I am now a part-time working, full-time Momming, tired tired woman. But boots, I feel, are like the perfect dress. If you see it: buy it. Because when you need it and don't have it, you will find nothing.

Examples of said boots:

This brand is Cubanas, from Portugal. They are well-made and amazing. I bought a similar Frye pair a few years ago and returned them because they were so uncomfortable and the heel was not doable. This heel doesn't even feel like a heel, and these are very wearable. This might be the new go-to boot brand for me.

Tell me you've heard of the Penelope Chilvers Incredible boot. I might or might not have been obsessing over these boots for the past 2 years ever since I saw them on a British fashion blog. They have pony hair on them, which is my only issue with them. They are crazily expensive, but I found them ridiculously on sale and ordered them in white. TBD whether I keep them or not, but I'm guessing they will be perfect.

But none of these are gray. Or black. Or ankle booties. ***SIGH***
