Fall Boots

Ok, so I’ll freely admit to the fact that my bank account does not allow for extravagant purchases. But I like to believe that even if I could afford to drop $1000+ on a pair of shoes or an article of clothing or an accessory just because it was Tuesday, I would still recognize when I’m being lured into a bad decision based on the capacity of my bank account and a label.

With that, Prada has two boots out this fall that I find particularly...ridiculous? I don’t even know.

Pair 1:

A quick Google search revealed articles claiming, “Prada offers a new boot trend with style, grace, and illusion.” ...Forgive me for disagreeing.

But wait, there’s more! $1500 more. I could just buy a pair of shoes that look remarkably similar to the “shoe” on said boot and pay significantly less. Not to mention how many more options I would have to wear with the actual shoes (aside, of course, from a weirdly fuzzy looking leg). But now that I have brought it up, what do you wear with this boot? I mean, you can’t wear a short skirt because you would end up with two-tone and two-texture legs. You can’t wear skinny pants, leggings, jeggings, etc. because it would look like one of the Founding Fathers got lost in the rabbit hole and made his way to 2011. And there is no point in wearing pants over them – that just takes us back to my original point of purchasing actual shoes. So I guess you wear a midi skirt and hope that at no point your actual skin shows. Or you could just wear some sassy shoes with an ankle strap, thus creating the exact same look.

Pair 2:

Ugh. $2400 ugh.
