New boots for a new year

There were these boots I'd been eyeing in a shop window since September 30 (to be exact). They were way, way too expensive. But oh, I longed for those boots. Then GF and I were out on Monday night, trying to find a *$!%# restaurant that was open on New Year's Day. During our wandering, I noticed that the longed-for boots were now on sale at a major discount.

I went back to the store yesterday. They had hardly any left. But they had my size! I bought them.

(Edited to add: Wow, this picture is bad - it shows the boots as shiny! In real life, one of the things that's great about them is that they are *not* shiny, not at all. They have a matte, almost worn, quality that suits their slightly odd, olive green colour.)

Oh, it is so satisfying to get my hands on these after all that fantasizing about them...
