Practically Practical
I am still in search of skinny jean compatible boots. Apparently I do not understand that 4-inch heels tend not to make the best everyday shoes, this revelation occured to me as I laid on the living room floor writhing in pain due to my ultra-adorable, yet perhaps not so pratical (I got some of thiose ball of the foot pads, so I will reserve judgement until I test them out) Marc Jacobs ankle boots.
So, this morning as I eyed at least 20 girls on the train socklessly wearing ballet flats in the middle of November - I kinda decided that its offically boot weather (thanks to the poor girl wearing a heavy velvet jacket, muffler and open toed wedges) - this is not Cali, its New York, global warning aside - stop the madness.
I want these boots - they're Belle by Sigerson Morrison and they're minmal yet fabtastic and perhaps best of all, I've convinced myself that they're actually practical - but given my track record, I may very well be completely wrong.

I Like Boots
I purchased a pair of boots over the weekend to assuage the sadness.
There’s really only one pair of shoes that I covet right now and affluenza aside can I really justify paying $619 for a pair of boots? Seriously – can I?

At first I though that I didn’t believe in socks, but I’ve for to the conclusion that I actually find them to be somewhat intimate - but in a gross way. Seeing someone’s socks it's like seeing their underwear – like random people – on the train. The point is, it's November and I’m still wearing flats with no socks because it is not quite cold enough to commit to boots (I tried a few weeks ago and it just didn’t feel right) and as far as I can tell, there’s no such thing a shoe that both covers the top of your foot and looks good with skinny jeans. However, I could totally see myself in these Loeffler Randal Elka Boots – they would so solve my problem.

What’s sad is that I already got a pair of Loeffler Randall boots this year (at a really good price – shout out to Gaby’s) – I feel bad for buying them, so they are as yet unworn. But I reeeaaaly want these – I’d wear them everyday, I would and they’re pretty and M wants them too so that means they’ve gotta be special.
