Eek! I just spent $80 on a pair of boots! This is ridiculously extravagant. But, they're gorgeous. Knee-high brown leather from Nine West. The last pair of Nine West boots I purchased back in high school - I've had them re-soled three times and I'm still walking the shit out of 'em. So I'm justifying the splurge with the idea that they're a reasonable 'investment,' so to speak. Plus, I haven't treated myself to something this really, truly, Nice in ages. So, minimal buyer's remorse.
