Boots, Boots, Boots

Well I went from having no boots in my shoe collection to having 3 pairs today! It all started Thursday night when I went to Penneys to find an outfit to wear to a Beef & Beer fundraiser friday night. I found this really great pair of boot cut streatch dark wash jeans (size 16 woo hoo!!!!!), a chocolate colored cami with gold stitching and this awsome green paisley sheer tunic to go over it with gold threads running thru it, oh and a gold purse! I took the outfit to work friday to show the girls I work with (both are young, skinny fashion goddesses). Well, the goddesses also bought me an outfit for my birthday from Old Navy. Size 16 boot cut jeans, chocolate colored tee shirt and a beige herringbone blazer and a teal corduory hand bag. They got tired of seeing me in my BB (baggy butt) mom jeans. So I basically had an episode of "How Do I Look" at work! It was so much fun!!! Well all the clothes looked great but the jeans were long and I didn't have any shoes to wear with either outfit so the girls took me out shoe shopping at lunch. I found this really great pair of bronze pointy-toe, skinny high heeled boots. They look fantastic! Not comfortable (what great boots ever are!). Friday night I looked good, got up on the dance floor and shook my boo-tay in my new outfit & boots and had a blast! Saturday I made a pilgrimage to Mecca (DSW Shoes) and found another pair of boots that I loved. Brown, clunky heel, suede & leather, Anne Kleins. On sale no less!!! I then went over to Old Navy and bought a pair of chords for Chelsea for christmas and a pair of beige slacks for me along with 2 pairs of velvet shoes in gold and pink! I am just stylin now!!! Sunday we had to go to middletown to see Rodgers girls and I wore the blaser outfit my co-workers gave me with my Anne Kleins. They loved it! Can't wait till I shrink out of it so they can have it. Helen, the older one had some shoes that hurt her feet so she let me try them. I am now the proud owner of 2 pairs of bo-bo sneakers (converse, 1 black, 1 white) and yet another pair of boots! After that we went to AI HS to watch the rest of my nephew's semi-final playoff CYO football game. They won!!! The whole section of the bleachers got up and sang happy birthday to me when I walked up. I was so embarrassed! The woman sitting behind be couldn't believe that I was 42. I told her that was good, because I don't feel 42. Just what the hell is 42 supposed to feel like? Can anybody tell me? OK, I'm going to go look at my new shoes now!

You go Girl!!!!! Your husband is going to have to hide the charge cards. I was at the beach this weekend and called my husband on the way home and gave him the heads up so he wouldn't die when he saw how many bags I had in the trunk. I love it. It is so much fun. I am going on a cruise in two weeks and this is the first time I am more excited about what I am wearing then where we are going! Are you coming tonight?

I'll be there tonight. I'm bringing clothes for Joanne H. and those coats I posted about a few weeks ago. I'm so jealous! A cruise! I wanna go toooooooooooooo!!! I can't get over how young you look in your picture! I'm going to have someone take a new one of me tonight. I look so bloated in my picture that I have here now! I HATE IT! Maybe I'll wear my shiny, bronze, kill the ****roaches in the corner boots!

LOL. That's a great story, Dee. How awesome are your co-workers to buy you clothing... Dianne
