My Love Affair with Boots

Oh, how I love thy boots!

Crocs

 

Most women have a love affair with shoes, I have a love affair with boots. I wear boots all the time! I live in Washington and would have to say that my favorite thing about Washington is that for me it’s boot weather all year round. When most people get out the sandals and flip flops around here I’m still in my boots! I honestly can’t pass by a pair of boots without wanting to try them on. I resist the urge occasionally.

Crocs sent me a pair of boots and they were too small for me. I wear an 8 1/2 or nine depending on the brand and I think in crocs I must wear a 10. This was very unexpected, it was also very unexpected at how much I LOVE Them. Even thought they squish my feet around the toes, I really love how comfortable they are on the heel and how supportive they are on around the souls. My feet prefer extra support and they were really supported in the crocs. I gave them to my neighbor and she loves them. She put them on right away and wore them while I was over at her house.

Counting the new pair of crocs Berryessa boots in Espresso I now have 7 pairs of boots (okay, so I only have six sinse I gave that pair away), that’s almost one pair for every day of the week. I have brown boots, pink snow boots, I have a pair of black flat boots, a pair of brown boots with a small chunky heel and two pairs of Rockports. If you count up all the boots we have on our cul-de-sac, I know we have more boots than anyone would know what to do with.

Here is a photo I put together of a few boots.

The first pair in the photo is the new pair from crocs. The second pair is a pair I’ve had for five years, I bought them knowing I wouldn’t be able to wear them. I was pregnant and my feet were swollen, it took me 4 years to lose enough weight to get into them but I did it. I can and do wear them all the time! The third pair is my neighbors. I love boots so much that I borrowed a pair of my neighbors boots to wear on the red carpet. I didn’t end up wearing them because I was afraid of stretching them out but I did like them a lot. The final three are of course on my list to try soon each  of those from crocs, pictured in the photo from left to right from crocs: Chikata, Mosman, Claire.

 

 

Crocs sent me a pair of boots in exchange for this post!

I Need Help What To Wear? Boots or Heels?

I’m attending the red carpet premier of Gnomeo and Juliet with Elton John and 14 other bloggers on behalf of Disney and I want to dress appropriately. We have three days of events and the dress code is

Friday, 1/21 – Casual attire.

Saturday, 1/22 – “Nice” casual attire.

Sunday, 1/23 – “Nice” attire (the actual red carpet event which is an afternoon premier so we were told to leave the ball gowns at home, but since I never get to dress up I’m tempted to wear one anyways)

So I’m going to be looking at my friends and their closets for help. But I did go out shopping with the kids the other day and I bought a dress, but I went really safe so if it’s not red carpet approved by you guys then I’ll wear it on the day before. I just need to know what category the dress falls into and if you like the boots or the heels better?

This Dress is from Karen Millen

The Boots are from Camper: (300.00 shoes I purchased for 20.00)

Karen Miller Dress with Boots

 

Again the Dress is Karen Millen

The Heels are  from ClarksKaren Miller Dress with Heels

Help me please?

Should I look for anther dress?

Should I wear the boots or the heels?

I’m taking the dress with me on the trip no matter what, the question is do I wear this dress on Day to as Nice Casual or day three, nice!???

Burlington Coat Factory has Winter Coats but is so much more #giveaway

Burlington Coat FactoryMy sister’s first job was working for Burlington Coat Factory and she was shocked to learn that you can purchase more than just coats. They have a very nice baby section that she looked at a lot while I was busy giving birth. ;-) , My two kids are only 12 months apart. But since it is winter time and they are The Coat Factory, let’s check out some coats.

Burlington Coat Factory has clothing and accessories for the whole family from infants to moms and everyone in between. They inspire fall fashion on a budget stories and or Holiday gift guides I remember getting a coat one year. I was so happy. Weird huh, a lot of people don’t like getting functional gifts for Christmas. I do, it kept me warm and I thought I was the stuff with my black leather jacket.. They have coats for everyone in the family under $100, men’s and women’s business attire under $150 and boots for women under $50.

What is your style?

I love the boots. I’m a boot girl, that is one of the best things about living in the Pacific Northwest. I can wear boots from September to June.

About Burlington:

The roots of Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corporation (the "Company") go back to 1924 with wholesale sales of ladies coats and junior suits. In 1972, the Company opened its first outlet store in Burlington, New Jersey. Coats were the primary offering at the original Burlington Coat Factory, but over time the concept evolved into a one-stop shopping experience. Extensive selections of men’s and women’s suits, sportswear, shoes, and accessories developed. Highly successful baby and youth departments were created. A linens department was added in 1987

 

Burlington is offering one of my readers a 50.00 Girt Card.
