Tramping of Boots

Do these boots make my butt look big?


I finally did it - I got  pair of boots.  Now, in my neck of the woods (Eastern Washington State) boots can be rather necessary in winter.  But I refrained from getting any mostly because I never really got out of the house much - let alone in the snow and slush.  But they do make a fashion statement, and compliment many outfits. And when I started getting out on the town with my 2 Sister Friends I figured - why not. Time to take the plunge -- or take the first step?

Lovely with leggings!

After a few unfruitful shopping trips - boots were either too small or too expensive - imagine my surprise when a friend passed along a pair that were too big for her.  My expectations were high, but I tried not to get too excited until I could try them on.  Imagine my joy when they slipped on with no trouble and fit perfectly!

Biker Chicks Beware!


Now I need to get time to get all dolled up and head out to break in my new pair of footwear (pair of feet-wear? feet of pair wear??)

Is there such a thing as TOO MUCH leather?

Stay safe and pretty, Sweeties!

    Hi Julie, I'm a bit unsure but I may have noticed you making a comment on some of the other blogs that I frequent - perhaps Stana's "Femulate?"

He Made My Day!

  I had a few hours to get out this afternoon, and I was looking forward to it, especially since I don't care two bits about "sports ball".  So I got all dolled up in my best weather appropriate outfit - black tights and pumps, black pencil skirt, hot pink top and 3/4 sleeve jacket.  I added a coat, grabbed my bag and headed out. Absolultley nothing to report initially -- a stop at the ATM, then Dollar Tree (Always Panty Liners pack of 40 for $1.25 - who can resist!), Walmart (needed some make up) and then a snack.  It turns out the closest eattery of my choice (Perkins) is closed!  Gone!! Kaput!!!  Too bad, the staff there were ALWAYS friendly and complimentary. So I went to the next closest - Denny's. I was in the mood for pie and coffee, so Denny's it is. I walked in, it wasn't too busy, and the server at the counter was cashing someone out and said he'd be right with me. He was a late 20's guy named Daniel. He took me to a booth ("Is a booth O...

Out and About -- FINALLY!

Image
  After FAR too long of being restricted to dressing for a limited time and only at home, I was able to get out on the town this weekend.  I had some adventures and I will try to keep them interesting (no guarantees, Sweeties). So let's get this show on the road! I started out on Saturday, getting some breakfast at my favorite eattery (for breakfast, that is) They have the BEST breakfast buffet I got to my table, and the server approached me and asked "Coffee AND water?" I told her just coffee, and she said, "I tried to remember. Welcome back." Wow! Service worthy of a good tip. I then went to Costco to pick up half a dozen items, and when I got to the self-checkout my debit card was rejected.  REJECTED?? (I forgot that I had had a call from their Fraud Dept on Friday about a contested charge. It was a false charge, so they apparently put a block on my card.) ~~sigh~~ There is a branch of my credit union not to far away, so off I went to get the situation dealt ...

Down Memory Lane -- In Pumps

Image
Funny how a random comment or reference can trigger a memory. That happened to me this morning.   I was reminded of the Halloween in my Jr year of high school when I decided to be "a hooker" and enlisted the VERY willing help of a female friend, Alice. It was mostly her wardrobe, and I have vague memories of exactly what I was wearing. I went to her house the week prior to select the "costume". She had laid out 4 or 5 dresses for me to try.  The first one was perfect, but that didn't stop me from wanting to try on all the others. Her mother, who was assisting, commented that I was enjoying my little fashion show. Alice supplied the shoes as well - good thing we were the same size - and I told her I'd take care of the undergarments. Our town did a Halloween Parade during the day on Oct 31, and I had "marched" with 2 friends - we were The Marx Brothers handing out candy along the parade route. So that evening I had transformed from Groucho to a Lady ...
