considering that wintertime will be here any moment (I’m told, although it was 80 degrees in Chicago on Monday), I need, as usual, a lot more shoes. maybe “need” is too strong of a word; maybe I’m trying to find something like “hankering for” or “appetency”. Anyway, I found these on eBay: only $50! Which is good in these times of economic uncertainty, right?
I am also havering over these, which are a lot a lot more expensive, but still more affordable on Amazon than anywhere else:
And what seems like months ago, but was only weeks, I’m sure, I gotten these, also low-cost ($80! For leather boots!) on eBay:
The calves were a bit too snug, but that’s no problem — I took them to my shoe person and he put little gussets in on either side of the zipper. It took him about a week (plus I had to go in for a “fitting” once he had the new bits inserted, to make sure they were exactly right). now they fit perfectly, and it was only $50 to get them that way. considering I’ve never, ever seen black leather boots I liked for under $250 (and thus have never, ever gotten any) I feel pretty good about these!
All of these have heels under about 2″, which is good, walking-wise … since, after the collapse of civilization (ANY DAY NOW) I will be walking southward to avoid the zombies and/or cannibals.
So with one new pair of black shoes (okay, two pairs — I gotten a pair of Faryl Robins on sale at DSW — marked down to $40! — that I haven’t taken a picture of yet), possibly one pair of wine, and a pair of black boots (plus I have brown J. crew boots from last year that I gotten at a thrift store for $7) I must be all set for autumn (if it ever gets here) and winter. So don’t look for any a lot more shoe articles from me until AT least April. Right? Right.
Posts about *tights*, though …
