When you set your own ground rules and budget, there's room for finding a great item at a great deal. Hot weather is bound to be when we find super boots and fall clothes lol! Gotta jump on it. The only hard thing will be waiting for cooler weather to wear them.

Reading these comments again and ROFL! Ah, it was worth it just for the comedy!

Christieanne, you are too right about off-season shopping. In fact, summer is probably my best/worst shopping time because it is both my dominant season *and* when all the boots are super cheap. :0

Are you kidding me?!! That would be ILLEGAL to RETURN those!

P.S. I'll bail you out if you get into trouble from the law

I'm very curious to hear, and possibly see how you plan to style these Timberland boots. Hopefully everyone else is just as anxious, too. Will you style them like your Julias?

Your audience awaits with bated breath

Cheers

Rae, I love these! What a beautiful find for the price! I'm sending back my steampunk boots - seeing you LOVING your new boots makes me realize I need to love mine that much, and I just don't...

I have not tried everything on yet, but I'm thinking of wearing them in variations of these outfits.

Una, I kind of figured you wouldn't keep them... when you love boots as much as we do, the absence of an immediate squee and happy dance is a bad sign. :T

Those outfits are gorgeous, Rae! They should all look super with the new boots. Bearing in mind the latest denim survey on here, though; I am curious if you have some skirts or jeans in mind to wear with them also.

Cheers,

Julie

Pic #6 has dark wash jeans, actually, although looking at it now they kinda look like leggings on the computer. I definitely will wear with jeans!

complete and total awesomeness! keep for sure!

Those boots are so, so awesome. And $80, wow! Gotta love that off-season shopping!
