Another Item to Cross Off the List!

Finally did it…I bought a nice pair of boots!  I know you are thinking, “wow……”, but this is a big deal for me.  I never got into the whole boot trend a few years ago but last fall I was secretly hoping to find a pair whenever I went to DSW.  When I created my 101 in 1001 list earlier this year, I knew I needed to make it a goal to find a pair of cold weather boots, specifically tall boots.

The problem with finding ones last year was that I was 30 pounds heavier and my calves were not fitting into anything I tried on.  Well I was pleasantly surprised when I tried these on in DSW last weekend.  I highly recommend grabbing a pair of these Bare Traps – Rynona style.  I was able to buy ones that were not wide calf as they are very forgiving (there’s a stretchy piece of fabric in the back), but they do have the wide calve/wide width ones available, as well. 

They’re not too expensive considering the price of other tall boots – plus it didn’t hurt I had a $10 off gift certificate.  Love their rewards program!

Also, if you know me, I do NOT do heels.  These have a slight heel to them, but they’re easy to stand on and so far, I’ve had no problems in walking in them.  I haven’t worn them for a full day at work yet, but I feel like they’ll be pretty comfy.  Bring on the cold fall weather, I’m ready!
