You guys. I caved today and bought a new pair of boots.

These, in fact:

Aerosoles Mezzotint - Black

I got them a half size larger than my usual size AND they are extended calf size, so they should (fingers crossed) fit over my calves of power.

They are a low heel, but not completely flat.

AND – they are pretty cute – and according to reviews, pretty comfortable. They should arrive Friday. I am so excited, even if I can only wear the left one for awhile. I’ve been wanting a pair of cute, fairly practical tall boots for ages, and I hope these fit the bill.

So – what’s up with the fall trends this year? Let’s go to my all-time favorite store EVER and find out.

Holy balls, people. What the hell is it and why? Please tell me that you won’t be buying this. I feel like there is a very sad, very naked muppet running about somewhere. This is horrific!

These are better, right? (I know, I know – there are a lot of ankle boot haters out there, but I promise I would only wear them with jeans or pants. It’s easier for us wide-calves people to buy the ankle boots, wear them under pants, and then PRETEND they’re tall. So in your mind’s eye, just picture them taller – now how do you feel?)

Another trend (that happens every other year, I think) is the metallic shoe trend. I love me some shiny, strappy holidy heels! I won’t be wearing any of the heels this holiday season, but the last two pairs may be doable – thoughts?
