My Weakness

One among many.

SHOES.

It's awfully cliche for a girl to have a weakness for shoes, but really, I swear that I don't like shoes just because I'm a girl. I like them because no matter what size my butt is, my shoes still fit. So, that's that. It's unconditional, both ways.

Anyway, I went to the mall on Sunday to have shirts made for my upcoming race. I was expecting to drop the shirts off and pick them up the next day, so I was caught off guard when they said I could come back in a half hour to pick the shirts up.

What's a girl to do with a half hour to burn at the mall? GO TO DSW!

I was a good girl and I headed straight for the clearance section. As I rounded the corner, my eyes went straight to a certain pair of boots and I said "well, hello! YOU'RE ADORABLE!" (yes, it may have actually been audible...)

As I put them on my feet, I noticed the 70% off sticker and I said "You MUST come home with me!"

And they did.

They make me want to put on a sundress, paint my nails a deep purpley-maroon, carry an over sized shoulder bag, and get a haircut with the perfect bangs. The cuteness, OH, the cuteness!! Seriously. The snow better hurry up and melt so I can wear these.

I didn't want my sporty side to feel totally neglected, so I bought this sassy number as well:

And with that, I blew nearly all of my monthly budget for clothes on the first day of the month.

I also spent my budgeted money for gifts because I am about to take a trip with my two favorite five-month-olds on the planet and I simply COULD NOT go without getting them matching clothes. I am GIDDY just thinking about it! TWO WEEKS!

So. That's it.
