Firstly,
kneehighs, thank you for sharing those pictures. They offer both style and inspiration. I like your creativity with those poses - amusing and entertaining while serving their purpose presenting a certain style.
Now on to me again!
You know me, sometimes I can't resist a bargain, and this next purchase is definitely a bargain! I stumbled across these beautiful boots in Oxfam on Tuesday:

These boots are by Miu Miu - Prada boots. They're black calf length boots with a 2 inch heel. These were ladies boots but I can see no problems with either sex wearing these - ever. They fit perfectly and are very comfortable to walk around in. They also look great to boot! I had to snap them up - I can have lot of fun with these freestyling: boots over jeans, under slim/skinny jeans. They cost me £6.99! Now Prada are known for being expensive boots - so this is certainly a bargain. They have been worn granted and the sole shows this. But the sole wear and tear isn't major so they can be worn now for the time being and when the time comes to change them I'm sure a decent cobbler can fix them up. The leather is in very good condition - all it needs is a polish to sort out any scuff marks. Another snag is they are hard to pull off (not that I'd want to take them of quickly!) so I require just a bit of patience. Fair enough - small price to pay IMO when the lovely comfort level surpasses this.
First day back at work after the Christmas Break and I thought I jazz myself up today and wear the boots into work to help brighten up the day and help me feel good:

The boots spice up the outfit without the shock of a stilleto - although I'm beginning to think stilletos will work with this outfit as well. *scratches chin*
Next to try these over my jeans!
