Dating (mis)adventures of an unexpectedly sexy New Yorker

  • About Me

    I’m a 30-year-old (!!!), single, charming, and totally dorky girl taking on the ridiculous New York dating scene. When guys are surprised to see a sex kitten emerge from behind my dorky exterior, I just smile and reply, “Who ever said that dorks can’t be sexy?" [More]

Boot shopping euphoria

16 Oct 2009

The strangest thing happened to me today.  I got up this morning, all excited about having the day off from work, and I headed out to buy an ice scraper for my car before getting to work on my school applications.  Suddenly I found myself in a shoe store (umm, how did that happen?), hemorrhaging with shoe euphoria, and I think I almost fainted at one point.  As I look back on it, everything is a blur.  I vaguely remember a sea of boots and heels and buckles and straps, and my dears, my heart is weakening just at the thought.  Ohhhhhhh I was in heaven.  Several hours later (yes, you read that right), I found myself back at my apartment with a credit card receipt and two large boxes filled with NEW BOOTS.  Oops.  : ) 

Fall boots

 Snow boots

The first pair is for everyday/fall weather, and the second pair is waterproof for slushy/snowy days.  I really wanted to get some fabulous high-heeled boots (I almost bought something very close to this), but they were SO ridiculously uncomfortable that I cried a single tear and put them back on the shelf.  I have made the ultimate foot-pain sacrifice for the sake of fashion many times, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it today.  Oh well!  I still like what I came home with.  Drool…..

    Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to post photographs of yourself wearing nothing but those boots and boyshorts. If you do that, I’m ‘m pretty sure I’d explode in 10 seconds.

    I would love to see a photograph of you in the first pair and tights instead of jeans. :-)

    … alternatively I do have a good imagination ;-)

    I will never understand a woman’s fascination with shoes, but if it gives you a temporary lift (and makes your butt look better) then I say have at it! :)
