For years my dad has held onto these old side water boots he and my mom would pull out every winter. Since I started university 3 years ago, he consistently attempts to convince me to bring them with me so my feet will survive the wet snow. But I always declined because they wouldn't match my carmel houndstooth coat and my floral dresses. This year, thanks to the gorgeous J. Crew Holiday catalog, I've had a change of heart. I wish I could say I found the fashion inspiration from within, but no, twas my favorite brand, the lovely J. Crew. After a quick "Do you still have those shoes, per chance?" followed by an aggravated are-you-seriously-asking-me-that-look from my dad, I now have a pair of new, old snow boots. They look like a grungy version of these:
They are practical and the perfect juxtaposition to my sequin skirts and silk tops. Not to mention, great for the snow ball fight that will inevitably go down on the walk home from church tomorrow.
I'm so glad he held on to them. Sometimes hoarders have the right mentality.
