i love my trusty wee chelsea boots. they cost me a mere £10 from a little vintage shop. i could live in them, if only they weren't a size too small and the leather wasn't so stiff and unforgiving. so i'm going to invest in a new pair. i mean, not so cheap that they last a month, but not so expensive that's beyond the means of a struggling student.
in my head i envision being the kind of girl who can totally walk around in heels all day without the wincing expression sprawled across my face as is the norm. so those Anat All Saints boots are for the kind of girl i'd like to be, whereas in reality i should probably stick to safe, reliable black plimsolls. but i'm going to throw caution to the wind and go for a flat version of the most perfect boot ever created. i mean, it doesn't have the aggravatingly pointy toe of winkle-pickers that make even the most feminine foot look gargantuan. & it slips on in the most delightful fashion, so there's no inconvenience of tying laces. it is stylistically viable; pair them with skirts, jeans, dresses, leggings, whatever. but it's not a safe boot by any means, it definitely adds an edge to an otherwise mundane outfit. invest in the chelsea boot, i say!
