Oh, lookie what I found...oooh

This shirt mod is adorable. I love the idea of detachable collars, but I'm not sure I have a warm-weather wardrobe appropriate to them. Guess I could always, you know, make a new summer wardrobe.

I broke down and bought these in black. So now I have the full set. I love these boots so much. I very much want them in the 20-eye version, but I'm already in the hole as far as finances go this month. Aren't they pretty, though? I mean holy fuck look at those boots. Did I mention the brown ones are on even bigger sale? *weep*

For the first time since I took this job (eleven years this October), I'm insufficiently rewarded while experiencing enough new and consistent irritations to the point that I would quit if I had something else lined up. My job and I need the equivalent of marriage counseling. I'm trying to remind myself that this is just a phase, and I usually like it here.

Scott Sonnon had some interesting thoughts on goal-setting yesterday. Right now, I'm afraid to make any goals because I'm worried about how my body is going to next fail me. This is not a healthy way to live--physically or mentally. I need to think about how to get past that concern and develop goals whose outcomes don't depend completely on my physical body's compliance.

Right now, though, I just want those fucking 20-eye boots.

I've had my eye on the DM wedges for ages, too.
Tempted on the brown...so tempted.
Must sell that animal print costume first!

I like the shirt mod, I didn't like the dress, but once I scrolled down... so lovely.

Edit to change icon, must move on now.
And get my damned hair trimmed :)

On NYE, I danced for nearly six hours on our ceramic floors in those wedge boots and I did not have sore feet the next day. My thighs were killing me, but my feet were fine. I am sold on this particular shoe.

Fuck it, I might go ahead and buy the 20-eyes (yes, both pairs) and just carry a balance over to next month on my card. These are the best heels for my feet that I have ever found.

Edit: Done. Boots are on the way. JFC I have a sickness.

No, you have found boots that work for you. see how helpful I am? Hey, I'm willing to spend more on Carlos Santana heels for the same reason.

I'd love to try on one of your pairs of the wedges, so I can see if these will work for me. The shoes are unfortunately too "in-between sizes" for me to buy them again, but wedge boots can fit differently.
If'n you don't mind, maybe we can do a dance it out session at home?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sure!

But I'm booked tonight, tomorrow, Friday, most of Saturday, and all of Sunday. I know.

If you wanna just try them on, I'll at least be home tonight and Saturday. If you come by tonight, though, before 6:00 is best. msmitti and I are doing Costume Research for our Sherlock/Watson costumes for ConQuest after 6:00.

I'd love to, and I promise to be out of your hair.
I meant tonight... which side of 5:30 works better for you?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I'm home by 5:15. Wanna shoot for that?

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

I can do that. See you then.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Excellent. See you then.

I'm pretty squee about that shirt.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna try it. Just gotta hit up the thrift stores for some subjects. I don't have any already in my closet I'm willing to sacrifice. When I get around to it (perhaps in time for Valentine's Day 2013), I'll post pics!

The shirt mod is totally cute! And LOVE the wedge Doc Martens. I never thought I would see the day. Yet, I'm glad so glad I did!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

You'll get to see them in person, even! Provided, you know, I ever see you in person again. =/

Boot-sickness is not the worst thing you could have. And they are so gorgeous.

I hear ya on wondering what fresh hell the body is going to come up with next. But I still filed the Scott Sonnon post away for later consideration. Thanks for the link.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Scott Sonnon is awesome.

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THE BOOTS!

I *love* those DM wedge boots. I got a pair of them in grey last year and just wore them a few days ago for my all-day on-campus interview, which involved a teaching demonstration, tours of campus, and lots of walking up and down stairs and from office to office to meet different people - not the least bit of soreness afterwards! And I've taught a full day of classes (this semester, that equals seven hours in a row) in them with no problems, too. I think that's fucking miraculous. I'm very tempted to get them in black and brown, too.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

BUY THEM BUY THEM NOW YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

I went to look and consider my options and re-discovered the Mimi wedges (three-eyes), which I love. I had a hard time deciding between my grey boots and the grey three-eye shoes last time. And so now I'm staring at the brown ones and the sand ones and I honestly can't decide which color I would want more - and starting to feel overwhelmed by the choice.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Well. Um. I own the oxfords in black, the ankle boots in all three colors, and the two colors of 20-eyes that I ordered last week should arrive on Monday.

I'm not the person to ask about making choices.

[cmt2779.livejournal.com]

Ha! I can only just afford one pair right now. I'm planning a trip to the Chicago area to visit a friend next week and I'm going to suggest that we go to the Doc Martens store while we're there so I can see the colors in person. We'll also be visiting the Fluevog store so I can drool over their shoes, too.
