Forty-forth months


So I get similar stares and giggles as when I wore the latex leggings out. The stares are mainly from the adults and the giggles, from the teenagers. It’s either they were bewildered or totally appalled at the sight of them bootie. Oh well. I guess I am thick-skinned indeed. Anyway, considering that the climate in this country is hot all year round, the peep toe and the hole at the back is a plus. It helps by providing some ventilation to my feet. And oh, the next time I wear it out, I should bear in mind never to tighten the lace too tight. Nonetheless, I see many wears from this bootie.



And the red light just had to be at the wrong spot.

My tiny feet got a new home


So my guy surprised me with yet another shoe or heels or boots (whatever you call it). Before this surprise, I remembered being hugely disappointed as the knee-high gladiator that I wanted did not come in my size. I gave the website link to my guy and he too browsed and confirmed that it did not come in small sizes. Then he passed me this link and commented, “Check out this oxford bootie”. Then today, he said with a cunning smile, “I got you something”. Why thank you hoNey! Even though this was featured in last year's Vogue magazine, I couldn't be bothered at all about it's "last season". And thank you also for the black satin cape and black trapeze dress : )

p/s: Taking the boots off is pretty easy but putting them on will take some time (what with the lace and all). It's actually comfy and reminds me of my green gladiator sandals. And oh, the picture over at the website displays the exact colour and all. My camera flash spoilt everything. On another note, links have been updated.
