The day I said ‘I do’ to a pair of boots – Part I

Here is the background:
One, my nature is that whatever I decide I want I get. Sometimes I think long and hard about it, sometimes I just think about it. Most of the time I get it. Two, I wanted a pair of boots.

The thing with boots and me is it is difficult to find a pair of boot that fit properly because of my small calves. So all this time I thought I was one of those women destined to love boots but never find the perfect pair for myself – the one that would give me the oomph.

This wkend I went to Canal Walk with the intention of getting myself a pair of boots. I was even prepared to pay extra at a shop where I was told they would have boots that fit me. So I started at one end of Canal Walk and methodologically worked my way through the retail shops.

The first shop I went into was having a sale. It was one of those boutique shops so a sale on one of their items was still a little higher than the shops I usually frequent. But they had a pair of boots that was a very snug fit by the feet (“It is meant to be like that”), a little bit too big around the calves (“It doesn’t look too big, but you can get it taken in if you really want to”) and slightly pricy (“its on sale and the last pair left”).
So what’s a girl to do? I could either grab that last pair and spend more money to get it taken in or I could carry on looking.

I decided to carry on with my search, trying on boots that were either way above my price range, or I half liked, or most shops simply didn’t have my size available. Anyways, I eventually found a pair of boots at a retail shop that was having a sale. The display shoe was my size, the price was very reasonable, it was comfortable and had the look that I was going for. All this decided in less than 5 mins! And I am now the proud owner of a pair of shiny, pointy toed, stiletto heeled killer boots that I cant wait to show off.
