I didn't think I'd be on the verge of 28 and fall head-over-heels in love with a pair of boots before falling head-over-heels for a man. But, alas, it's true. I walked into Nordstrom today feeling a bit tired, my energy sapped, but one glance at the boot collection quickly perked me up. A certain pair stood out like a diamond in the rough (except the rough wasn't very rough at all). I couldn't take my eyes off of them; they were that beautiful, the leather so lush, so distressed, and so perfect with my leggings. And so I skipped an iced latte from the cafe and vowed to live on Ramen noodles and bananas (for a week, at least), maybe even (yeah, right) downgrading to Wal-Mart for essentials...
And unlike a member of the opposite sex, these boots don't have any say when I make them all mine. Who knows? Maybe the boots will get me the man...
Perhaps he didn't like my hair or selection of pre-concert treats. Or maybe my vocabulary was too ladylike. Or, he really was offended when I playfully punched his arm... But after an invite, and free ticket, to the Ray Lamontagne and David Gray concert at Red Rocks, I surely deserve the I'm just not that into you courtesy call, right? Another one bites the dust. Which, by the way, the boots I wore that night are still covered in it. A surefire sign? Perhaps... *
*The Muse is tongue-in-cheek, really. Someone once asked, I thought I should clarify. Just in case.
