my boots are a cruel mistress
first day wearing the boots to work. they're still tight enough that they're a bit uncomfortable, especially, oddly, around the ankles-- but it wasn't torture. i did bring my pliers just in case i needed to take them off and get them back on during the day.
i did get a sort of compliment, though not on the boots specificially.
i go out to garner every so often to fill up with biodiesel. the women who work at this gas station are not generally the most fashionable people i've met, and in fact sometimes i feel as i've driven 20 minutes and magically wound up in some rural county deep in eastern NC.
so anyway, i went out there today, and when i walked up to the register, the woman working blurted out, "Where do you get them kinda clothes ??" we had a whole conversation about how she used to wear stevie nicks skirts (my term, but she agreed with it wholeheartedly) (and btw, i would not characterize my skirt as a stevie nicks skirt, but whatever), but now she can't find them anymore, clearly much to her chagrin.

Your skirt that you were wearing today is definitely not a Stevie Nicks skirt. If it were, it would have had ruffles and bead embroidery, and would have been much fuller. To facilitate swirling it around while dancing in the rain.
