Things to think about when it's a cool 89F at 10 PM

I am in love with Madeleine Peyroux in a whole new way. Half the Perfect World has been on my iTunes forever and ever, but I've never really listened to it, for no discernible reason. Things that will change that: listening to nothing but my jazz tracks all day at work. Seriously, listen to

Docs last forfuckingever. Srsly, though? If you're gpnna do it, get the boots.

I actually have a pair of 20-hole lace-ups that I adore! The only issue is that I need to be able to put them on in the morning, and the laces tear my hands up after I've had a shower, plus they're a zillion pounds and much too hot for summer. I had a pair of ankle stompers that I actually wore until there were holes in the uppers. I'd consider getting a pair of those again, but they don't have a color or pattern that I like enough. Plus I'm really digging the retro look of these two shoes. But I absolutely wouldn't say no to more boots! Those peacock-colored ones, unf.

Ooooh. Ok, if you already HAVE boots. I know what you mean about the 20 holes being a PITA. I once made the mistake of wearing them TO THE AIRPORT. WTF WAS I THINKING.

In that case, I like the first pair of shoes a little bit more. Not sure why.

Oh yeah! I love my shitkickers. But they're a twenty-minute affair on and off, and frankly I don't give myself that kind of time in the morning.

Yeah, the saddle shoes definitely look lighter also, and like they have the same sole as my ankle boots. They have a nice silhouette. I can't shake my love of the clompy brogues, though. Good grief, decisions, decisions!

Clompy is a very specific kind of cool. The saddles are probably more versatile.

Hmm, point.
