no drawing today... but oh, my. boots.

I worked a 12 hour day today, and am lookig down the barrel of a 10 day tomorrow, before a very full weekend. No drawing tonight, and maybe not some until Sunday.

Instead, I bring you footwear. A NaBloPoMo favourite!

I went on a search for boots on a (very) rare mid-week day off last week. I did eventually find a pair of boots that are ok; that fit my very strict and specific criteria: fit in my meager budget, fit my size 10-1/2 to 11 feet, be flat but with enough (heel) lift to provide some support but not be teetery, be good to wear with a skirt at work, and good with jeans not at work. oh and be black, kinda kick-ass, and kinda feminine. Yes, I'm, um ridiculously expectant of my boots.

Even after not finding what I wanted in over 10 different stores, in three distinct parts of town, I gave up on the budget, and just wanted to find something that I liked. As inspiration. Something, that made me go "ooh". But alas, even the usual suspects were devoid of wanty-worthy footwear. So, I found my ok, cheap boots that will last me this season (toes crossed!), and went home.

But then, this week, the new line of Fluevog boots came out, and, can I get a "ooh", people?? Oh, my! Gor-gee-ous. Enter the season of wanty... (why oh why didn't the sale person at Fluvogs say that new ones were coming in so soon?! I was clearly not going to purchase the ones I tried on just for fun...)
