Impish Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 For something just totally not 'you'? Here's what I mean. I loooooove boots. I'm talking the sleek leather with the heel humina humina boots, not the freakin' 'its -50 and your toes are gonna freeze without your 3 prs of socks under Skiddo boots chic that is the winter gear must around here. I want ridiculously impractical Wonder Woman boots, darn it. And if I can ever figure out how to suck in my calves and thighs enough to do the zipper up, I'm getting a pair. Sad but true story: a date night w/Wolf. He'd sent me out shopping, demanding I get nice things for myself or he'd let Diva hit Walmart and pick out my new wardrobe (she was 9, and her tastes were...well...garish). I found 'pirate' boots that fit 10 mins before store closed. Get home, thrilled to death, get dressed, pulled on one boot, went to put on the other...and discovered I had 2 left boots. I ended up wearing sneakers for pity sakes. Upon returning them and the sales clerks looks of dubious concern that I was allowed in public unescorted, it was of course determined no boots were left in my size. I'm doomed to eternal boot lust. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I want boots. Alas, I have my Grandmother's sturdy, muscular calves. I haven't been able to make myself shell out the money online for wide calf boots. I also have Grandmother's square, hobbit like feet, so finding boots that would fit both feet and calves that don't cost a fortune seems highly unlikely. I'm afraid forever doomed to a bootless life :nopity:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Boots this year are awesome! I went to get a pair, but left the shoe store with nothing because I could not make up my mind. There are too many options for an indecisive person like me. My dc want me to get the over the knees type :001_huh:...do they not know me?:lol: I think I will go with some knee high ones, though.

Rosie_0801 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I impulse bought two red tops at an opshop last week. I almost never impulse buy. I don't wear red tops and I certainly don't wear tops in those styles. But I wore them this week and they look good! Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidsHappen Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Yes, I have seriously considered a tramp stamp. :D I figure if I didn't like it in my old age, it really wouldn't matter because I couldn't see it anyhow. I have also considered a belly button ring, but I am afraid I could hurt myself with that. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Yep.. and partly because I was never allowed to do anything a little crazy as a teen! I wanted purple streaks in my hair, a nose ring, and gothic style clothes.. na-na. It wasn't even worth asking them! Even ordinary things like having ears pierced were out of the question. (I rebelled at the age of 28 and finally had them done. ;) ) But - in a few months, I and my two older DDs ARE going to do something crazy, and ask people to sponsor us for it. Well the first bit isn't crazy, it's great, but the second certainly is. When our hair has grown such that the pony tail from the band down is over 10in. long, we are going to cut it off and give the hair to a charity that makes wigs for people who have had chemotherapy and lost their hair. Having done that, we are going to have our hair cut in a really short style - something really unusual - and also have it dyed different colors. I'm having mine done dark purple; DD11 is having hers done in dark blue and blonde streaks, and DD9 is having hers done dark red. :D We're really looking forward to it!

KrissiK Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Yeah, I've had an alter ego for a long time now! Although I haven't seen her for a while, so I can't quite remember what she's like. I need to find her and hang out. I've been getting too frumpy lately! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
