Continuing to take advantage of the cooler weather to go through boots, boots and more boots.
Heading to Copenhagen this evening. Possibly did not wear the best choice for travel. I’ve run around all day lugging an overnight bag in these; just a little too high and just a little too uncomfortable. And a little too warm. Also a little ridiculous since they are essentially a pair of cowboy boots with a leather bow on them.
When you’re earning the equivalent of 20.000 GBP a year any luxury item of clothing purchased takes on a new level of importance.
Also the concept of luxury item is very relative. I remember walking into Whistles on the Kings Road and buying these boots on a whim. Not because I needed them, not because another pair had been won out and needed replacing, but just because I wanted them. In hindsight, I’m not even sure they were really that expensive but to me at the time they felt like the most decadent buy ever.
Turns out I really didn’t need them as they have been worn about 10 times in total. It’s all about perspective.
