Feeding the Shopping Addiction

Last Friday, I stopped into Tootsies to try on the Tory Burch Calista riding boots I had fallen in love with and discussed here.  When trying them on, I was dismayed to learn that they did not zip over my calf and the lining in the shaft of the boot does not allow for much stretch.  So it is back to the drawing board.  

I have spent some time since Friday perusing online to see if I can find anything else that catches my fancy.  I was able to find this MICHAEL Michael Kors Fulton harness boot in solid black for $295 (which is $200 less than the $495 than I was planning on spending on the Tory Burch boots).  Fortunately, there are Michael Kors stores locally in the Houston area (The Galleria and The Woodlands).

Normally, I buy my boots at the end of the season as my dollar goes much further and I end up with more fun things in my closet. This season, however, with a trip to London coming up in mid-September and my suede, flat, over-knee Elaine Turner boots getting a bit worn, I am going to have to make a boot purchase at the beginning of the boot season.

My favorite current trend is riding boots. I like the classic look. On my way home, I popped into Tootsies to see what they might have. Not a lot right now as far as boots go, but they mentioned they had spoken with the buyers, and they should be receiving a lot more in the next two to three weeks. That being said, they did have a pair that caught my eye. I think I might have found my next pair in these Tory Burch Calista boots. Now the question is, black or brown?
