Bending the SYC rules . . . or remember these?

I returned my ill fitting cords Sunday and that freed up 40 odd dollars for a replacement pair under my SYC constraints. Well . . . I instead revisited a pair of army green boots I had my eye on months back, when my whole boot/bootie thing started. They went down in price on eBay and even though the heel may be 3 1/4 or 3 1/2" I decided they are worth the shot. I can return, so it's risk free
That means I spent my $125 budget (that was the end of my SYB and the start of my SYC) on 2 pairs of boots/booties! The zipper shooties and these army green stacked heeled military style ankle boots. Kind of a 2 for 1 really, price wise! I realize I wanted both a sleek bootie for skirts and a more rugged boot to play up the utility vibe of my style. I guess one boot couldn't really do both anyway. I'm eagerly awaiting them in the mail!

I think they're adorable, can't wait to see them on you!

Heather

I soooo hope the pocket is functional. How cool to stash something in there.....

Also, to be a Nosy Rosy, when do you go "home"?

rae

Nice! I love the front zipper on those. And when you can't make one bootie to double duty, two booties for the price of one is the only logical choice.

I love the little pockets on the boots. Sounds like an excellent decision to me.

I like your tongue twister about double duty booties, Rae! lol

I think these really are so 'me' - just as much as the zipper shooties are the more refined 'me'. Hope they work out!

Heather, I still don't know when we move home - by the time the snow starts sticking I guess is my best answer. We have an income here. We don't have definite jobs lined up yet there. So we are staying as long as we can until winter actually hits. Looks like my feet will be well prepared for when the move does happen

EDIT: the pocket are functional I believe. Perfect spot for my Fitbit

Awesome. That pocket is functional. Those booties better work because I wanna see those pockets in use! HA.

So you have a bit of time yet in Florida. Cool. Any roadside pics to share? I do love those from you.

Aida

I remember those, so glad you're getting a chance to try them out! I hope both pairs work for you. Did you already get the zipper shooties?

Aida, I did get the zipper shooties last week and love them!! http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....oties-came
I think, as you so rightfully pointed out to me, that the 2 pairs will serve different, separate purposes in my wardrobe. Can't wait for the mail . . . and maybe some fall like weather lol.

These are my favorite of the bunch!

Oh my goodness, those fit you beautifully!! I wish I needed more boots because goodness you make a great case for them
