For the Love of Boots

Some of my most favorite things in the whole wide world are ... shoes! But admittedly, I've never been a huge connoisseur of boots. The only boots I've owned through the years have been my cowboy boots & the occasionally used snowboarding boots. I bought a pair of velvet knee-high boots for a Halloween costume a couple years back and ever since then I've been hooked!


Which leads me to the whole point of this blog being (though rather trivial, I'm aware) that since I've moved here to Portland I have lived in & learned to absolutely love boots. I realized quickly that rain & heels just don't mix. Nor does having wet jeans & heels. I do however refuse to ever buy a pair of rain boots ...







The first 'Portland' pair of boots I bought are the brown ones. I call these my Portland pair because I also had to buy some dang jeggings in order to wear them (though I SWORE I would NEVER own a pair ... I guess I also swore I'd never live in Portland ... ). The ones (in gray) are super duper comfortable & have a little heel on the back which makes them fun to wear. Who doesn't like heels!? & last but not least, the black ones ... they are the newest edition. I like them because they have that motorcycle strap & black is my favorite.

While I do love & adore my new boots, I will always have a place in my heart (and closet) for my cowboy boots. I'm happy that while there are many things I miss about leaving Tumalo, one of the new things about Portland is the country bar nightlife. There is nothing better than a good swing dance! & who can dance without their boots anyway ;)
