That was before I re-discovered my boot collection waiting to be found in a garbage bag (forget cardboard boxes, I moved my clothing to the new house in black contractor bags, white trash style!) |
I bought these synthetic boots (this animal lovin' gal doesn't do leather, unless it's second hand and that's a debate in and of itself) a few years ago and a combination of their cheap quality and the harsh Canadian climate (these boots have seen their share of snow and no my feet have not stayed warm or dry!) these boots are about ready to get the boot. So I decided one last photoshoot was in order to bid them a proper adieu.
(Author's note, all this boot chatter is really to divert your attention from the wrinkly mess that is my skirt. Can I claim a phobia to ironing?)

This faded out photo is a result of the camera settings I had been working on during my first photography class (let's just say I'm not the best student, my feedback was that 'a couple of your photos are ok'... better not quit my day job just yet!)
Are you a boot scootin' boogie babe?
I love the colour of those boots. it goes so well with the purple skirt. so good luck when it comes to giving up on them, hehe. and don't worry, I also don't iron anything.
ReplyDeleteby the way, last week I checked out my boots' collection and most of them are quite old.. but no problem, old is not bad!
Maiken,

THe color of the boots is really gorgeous! All the colors in your outfit are so rich and perfect for fall :)
ReplyDeleteSee I think that last pic is an interesting play on the idea of negative space! As for the skirt wrinkles, well, I uses up all my creativity on the neg space thing. I do love a good boot in autumn. Hope you have fun searching for replacements.
ReplyDeleteI love these boots! Sad if they are starting to wear out! And I think the wrinkled quality of your skirt adds a little something to it! I hate doing ironing too.
ReplyDeleteI need to pull out more of my boots now that it's getting chilly!
RIP boots! HAHAHAHA It hardly ever gets that cold in New Orleans to wear boots. I've thrown out many a sandal though. You have to do what you have to do! :)

LOVE the new layout. Thanks for visiting me at my new blog! I'm so new to the blogsphere and appreciate any and all comments :) I love how you buy everything either thrifted or at an amazing price and manage to look so chic! xoxox
ReplyDeleteI really love the new design of the blog...fantastic! I can talk and crack up any audience under the age of 12...speaking in front of adults is much more challenging. My first day teaching with my own class, I wore a loose skirt, so the kids couldn't see my shaking knees (literally, that does happen). The fear diminishes every time you speak in public. Also love the red and white nails. You are a great gal. love, your Mum !!!
ReplyDeleteLoving the boots :) Too bad their time is done! And photography is hard.. some people just have it, you know?
ReplyDeletesuch a great color combo. I had to kick a pair of boot to the curb last year.
ReplyDeleteI love these photos. Your hair looks great in these pictures. Your scarf is so pretty.

emily i like the southwest, tribal like vibe of this outfit! another great color scheme of layers of interest. i am a definitive boot ho! they are my fave type of shoes, but if something in my closet doesn't work, i say, "bye-bye-bye."
ReplyDeleteYour new blog design is so lovely! Did you design it yourself?
ReplyDeleteI love boots! It's not always cold enough for boots in SF, but I try to wear them anyway. And I can't stand ironing. I purposely buy clothes that resist wrinkles. I don't even own an iron anymore. If any of my clothes really need to be ironed, I send them to the dry cleaners.
Adorable outfit ! Love those boots !
ReplyDeleteCome on my blog and say hi ! I have a great giveaway going on !
