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 *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.

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.

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.

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.
