Boots

I love shoes. I just love the way you can put on a different pair of shoes and totally transform your outfit. I also love that I've been the same shoe size since I was 12, so I can dig out an old pair of shoes and they still fit perfectly (can't say the same for clothes). I have a habit of buying expensive shoes I never wear because I never have an occasion to wear them. I also have a habit of buying pretty heels that I never wear because I'm a giant.

I've recently been pining for a pair of these bad boys:

I think it's the fact that fall is in the air and that it's been raining like crazy lately. But dude, they are precious. I had a pair just like them when I was in preschool - my mom called them my "puddleducks." That's an example of something I thought everyone said until I realized that no, it's just a mom-ism.

In any case, these puddleducks are going to set me back a pretty penny. Christmas?
