The boots

So, it all started last week at our first Monday Madness. I posed the question, "Is $350 too much to spend on a pair of boots?". I had been looking at these boots at Anthropologie for several weeks now and fell in love with them but really, that is just too much, even for me to spend on a pair of boots. So, I decided to confirm my convictions by asking a room full of men and 1 other woman. It was pretty much a wash. But these guys have a long memory and I was still getting questions as to whether or not I bought the boots a week later. I assured everyone that the only thing I was buying was plane tickets. But these guys along with the assistance of Laura, decided to whip me up my very own pair and deliver them to me as I was working. It was so, so funny to see the 4 of them peering in the door of the OB unit only to have them whip out a pair of paper black boots. How do you think they compare with the real deal? I think they should do for the time being.

The pair from Anthropologie..... I still look at them and wish that they would just go on sale.


The making of the boots.

9 1/2 plus Jay, boots completed and receipt composed by Laura.

"Boots" in tow, they are on the way to the hospital to deliver them to me.

Have the boots been marked down yet? Are you watching like a hawk?
