Squeezing Every Single Penny Out Of These Boots

Wednesday, March 5, 2014


When something fantastic makes its way into my wardrobe, I'm known to wear the heck out of it! And these boots are no exception. These have been my favorite boots for two years now and I'm so sad that this is going to be the last season that I am able to wear them. These boots go with tons of stuff and are amazingly comfortable, so I have worn them with A LOT of things. With as much snow as we have had, its so easy to just throw them on, knowing that they will keep my feet and legs both dry and warm. But if you look closely, you will see that I really have worn them a lot. Which is why this is the last season that I will be rocking them!

I was so excited because I found a very similar pair online and mistakenly ordered them in a size too small. When I went to return the boots to the store about a month later, they didn't have a size 9. The store manager called around to every store in town and NO ONE had a size 9. Plus the website goes from an 8.5 (too small) to a 9.5, so I can't even order the correct size online. I'm so bummed, because they are pretty much the same style as my beloved and very well worn boots. And with the spring months coming up, everyone is getting rid of their boots. :( Huge bummer.

So I need to look into finding another style that I love just as much. I really want the cognac color, and a flat boot that doesn't look too military. Plus, I would prefer they not zip, but just be slip on boots. I'm not asking too much am I? :) So while boots are going on sale, I'm going to desperately try to find a replacement pair that I love just as much. Here's hoping!



Jeans: Old Navy.
Tank: LOFT.
Black Chiffon Shirt: Genesis.
Scarf: Target (gift from my Dad!).
Boots: Target.
Earrings: Stella & Dot.

  2. I've worn out so many pairs of boots because I end up loving them and living in them... it's sad to part with an old favorite, that's for sure! I'm convinced 9 is a very popular shoe size (mine as well) because I always have trouble finding the good shoes in a 9!! Anyway... this outfit is darling and I love the flowy-ness of your black shirt!

    xo Always, Abby
