Much Ado About Boots

If you've read this blog for any length of time, you know my nemesis:  shoes.  I love them and I hate them.  SO MUCH. 

I have the most difficult feet.  They are flat flat flat and always hurt.  I like to buy shoes for fashion, but on a
daily basis I tend to go more for practicality. 

That being said, I've gone through the last few winters with NO boots.  No cute wedge boots or riding boots or Ugg boots.  Mostly because I swear that Uggs are still the fugliest things I've ever seen.

Right around my birthday, I found what appeared to be The Perfect Brown Boots on DSW.com.  They are the DSW brand Audrey Brooke and of course they are not available online anymore. 

My only issue with these is that they are more brown and less tan/cognac than I wanted.  But I'm still finding plenty of ways to wear them.  That and the fact that I got a huuge scratch on the right boot at work this week.  Whomp whomp, disappointment.

Then, on "Sarah Day," the Monday after my birthday, Mr. RH and I went to the new Nordstrom Rack in Indy.  We wandered lost around the store for 5 minutes and then these shoes were in my hands.  I put them on and it was.... true love.  Go figure. 

I mean, Mr. RH was looking at me like I was some hot random chick (note: Mr. RH doesn't check out hot random chicks nearly as much as I do, I don't know what's wrong with him!) and how could I not buy them?  They were just under $100 and real leather.  Score!

Of course, a couple of days prior I was in Chicago with my BFFs and stumbled upon a pair of boots that have been on my heart a LOT.  For a long time. 

Fuggs.  For real.

Yep, Cardy Uggs.  I'm not so sure how much I actually like these.  I'd like them better if they stayed up high on my leg as they are in this picture... but they really sag and look quite baggy on my leg.  And I don't have stick thin legs by any measure!  I wonder if I could move the buttons in a bit to make them tighter.  Hm, deep thoughts about Uggs.  

On another random note... I found this amazing scarf at Francesca's in Indy on Sarah Day.  And I was so excited about it.  

 But then I realized that this scarf would be the perfect gift for a friend's birthday... so unfortunately I mailed it out this morning.  Maybe they'll still have it the next time I'm at Francesca's?

So yeah, I've been going boot crazy lately.  Not sure what's gotten into me... other than Mr. RH looooves me in a boot.  Although I can't say I hate them so much myself. 

Anybody else have any good shopping finds lately?  I can't stop!
