Where I wore it: to the office

A few more items unearthed from the back of my closet. These boots, while I don't wear them very often, are one of my greatest thrift scores to date. Mint condition Justin ropers? Hell yes. I bought them a few years ago when we were still in Massachusetts, there was a girl checking them out at the thrift store and I feigned disinterest until she decided against them and set them back on the shelf, and then I swooped in, grabbed them, and walked away. One big rule of successful thrift shopping? If you're undecided, put it in the cart, you can decide later. Otherwise, someone like me- who is only pretending to try on those 80s heels- might be lurking in the shadows to snatch up those boots. The more you know.

Also, it felt like spring yesterday and the birds felt it too because they are chirping like mad, but now this rocky sidewalk location is blanketed in six inches of snow. Weather!
