We got back from the cabin tonight to find packages! Sadly, both are going back. The pleather lace up boots were SO CHEAP-LOOKING. They remind me of bad boots from the 80s. Plus the grommets were silver yet the studs were sort of a tarnished gold? Yuck. Note to self - stay away from this brand (Cri de Coeur).

The Mia boots were cute but even laced up they were too gappy on my calves. I assume when a boot laces up, there should not be a big gap.

Sigh. I'm in quite the dry spell with boots right now!
