"These are my new 'I don't need a job, I don't need my parents, I've got great boots' boots."

OK, so I do need my job and parents, but I'm super happy with my boots! I got the Madison Biker boots by Alice + Olivia x Payless and I am positively thrilled with them. They totally fit true to size, and they are so different from anything else I own. 100% no buyer's remorse on this one. I'm going to wear them to death this fall/winter (dealing with ANOTHER heat wave in LA right now...) and they are actually really comfortable! I was impressed. Wedges are usually good like that, but it is an inexpensive pair of shoes, so I had so hesitations.

It's weird, because just looking at these boots or describing them, these boots shouldn't be aesthetically pleasing at all. The snubbed toe bit doesn't seem like it should make for much of a flattering silhouette. For some reason it kind of works, though. I guess these boots are a little bit like pigs. They're weird looking, but we love them anyway.

Anyway, here are some awkwardly staged outfit pics for you guys. I still need to figure out the best way to arrange the self-timer thing in my new apartment... I think I've come to the conclusion that I need a tripod.

Some are blurry, all are bad - use your imagination a little! :)

And we can just pretend we don't see my bra strap in this one, right?

It's true love.

  1. I know what you mean about the snubbed toe. I hate how it's boxy and curves upward but oh well, what can you do about it? They were only $50! Still very much well worth the price.
