I must convest a shameless love affair I have been having with not one, but two pairs of Dr Martens down the street (no one tell my tea, it will get jealous)!
I stumbled across two very different boots on a routine hunt for a raincoat yesterday, and fell hopelessly and irrevocably, head over heels. One a pair of eye stingingly bright yellow Adventure time ankle boots with two little Jake faces on them, boots for a childish yet edgy free spirit (read: five year old) and one a pair of dark brown, soft leather,
12 hole triumph boots with ribbon laces, boots for interesting, sophisticated person, in touch with nature and blah, blah, blah, cut to the chase. No you can't get 'em in Britain, no, neither of them. I've wanted the triumphs a long time, I've wanted the AT yellow monstrosities for a day. How long did I spend hassling the staff in Neon? Who knows, may have been anywhere up to two hours. Did I buy the bloody boots? Yes. Which ones? Both, with insoles and a pair of Levis dungarees to boot (Ha! See what I did there; boot).
Well, that was my day, (after all that life changing decision stuff I needed a lie down), how was yours?
Hi Hannah!! Absolutely LOVE the BOOTS!!!! Both pairs!! (But especially the yellow ones - wouldn't they cheer anyone up on a grey rainy day?!!!) I need footwear, I live and die in looky-likey crocs, because they're comfy for my very hurty feet, but not the best look when 'going out'!! I saw a picture the other day of a pair of Doc Martens with the 'Willow Pattern' on them, and now I REALLY want those boots. Never felt like this about footwear, well not since getting RA, I used to love shoes when I could get nice ones to fit my feet, but they're so bent and twisted now (I know, just like my mind!!!) that I've lost all enthusiasm for shoe shopping - until now!! And isn't it spooky that when I finally fall in love again with a pair of boots - you blog about...... Boots!!!! Happy travelling in your happy boots Han! K xxxx
