Oh new boots.
I’ve been looking for the perfect boots for…well…forever. It’s hard to find the perfect looking, perfect fitting boots when you have substantial calves. I’m talking big calves. I have size 10 calves and size 6 feet. It can be quite problematic.
I imagine that I ended up with my gigantic calves when someone up in heaven grabbed the wrong pair of calves off the assembly line. The angel doing quality control must have taken the day off.
After reading J’s Everyday Fashion for a while and admiring her Baker’s Tate Boots, I had one thought.
Must. Buy. Those. Boots.
So I did.
They fit like a dream and I love them. They’re soft and buttery, are the perfect color of cognac, and somehow manage to stretch around the calves that were meant for a 6 foot tall woman.

What’s your most difficult piece of clothing to shop for? Jeans are the most difficult for me, but boots are a close runner-up.
