I Caved

After much debate, I picked up Frye's Melissa Button Boot at Nordstrom on Sunday. I'm so glad I did! The boots look a lot like Frye's Melissa Riding Boot which I tried on at Bloomingdales and loved, except mine are (still exorbitantly priced but) $50 less. Plus, no shipping fee and no wait time (had I gone through the Frye or Zappos websites). I've already worn them to work twice and they are so so comfortable - a must for all shoe purchases! And, hey, I can feel the gas pedal when I drive.

I think I am also slowly but surely wearing Shrek down, convincing him that it's okay for Santa to leave me a bundle of cash to go towards my early-bird Christmas present. ;)

I paired them today with a casual BCBG dress from two seasons ago, Gap black leggings ($10), and a black silk boyfriend blazer ($88) I ordered from Victoria's Secret last Fall. Though, looks like they still have it available this season.

Spoken like a true shoe-aholic except that I mean it: I am done now. I swear. Actually, black riding boots were the final pieces to complete my wardrobe. After a serious purge of the old closet, I made note of the key pieces I was missing and only gave myself permission to purchase those. Now, I can focus on my Christmas shopping for others. :)
