Shoesies Shoesies Shoesies

I'm home from work early today as it appears that I have a touch of the flu.  This is the first time I've gone home sick from school in the history of being a teacher, and it's totally the sucks.  I do not like abandoning my folks.  HOW ARE THEY GOING TO LEARN THE ENGLISH WITHOUT ME?!?  That said, being home during daylight hours has afforded me a chance to take a couple snaps of some new (old) shoesies that arrived in the mail yesterday.  Sunlight is a hot commodity these days.
 
 After seeing a pair of RAD-ASS Justin Roper boots on a chick shopping at an American Apparel a few months ago, I decided that I probably needed to get my mitts on some.  It took an approx 6-minute eBay search to find the perfect pair of grey shorties in awesome condition.  I figure that A: I don't currently own a pair of grey boots, and B: the votes here got me all psyched for grey.  I wore them out this morning, and I am SO JAZZED about them.  So jazzed. 
I also cracked and bought a pair of Repetto ballet flats in navy.  Creatures of Comfort had them for cheeeap, so I bit the bullet and got me some.  I'm pretty sure that I'll be sleeping in them this spring slash summer slash fall.  I love them. 

The moral of this story?  Get sick.  Take pictures of shoes.  Cuddle with cats for restored health.

Hahaha. I'm a firm NO SOCKS kind of gal, so I wear hugungous boots on my walk to work and then remove them immediately. I wear moccassins and ballet flats STRAIGHT through the winter. Hahaha.

YES, they run small. I had a black pair a few years ago that I got in my size and they were TINY. I eventually stretched them out enough, but they had weird toe-stretch marks. I went a size up with these, and they're perfect. I probably could have gone just a .5 up, too. Nude ones sound AWESOME.

And these Roper boots are SO COMFORTABLE. I was shocked at how easy they are to wear.
