Rather than wax poetic about today’s ensemble, I’ll just cut right to the chase: THESE BOOTS WERE FREE!

It was a perfect storm of leftover holiday giftcards and an end-of-season clearance sale that brought these beauties into my life without me having to spend a dime.  But to be honest, even without the giftcards they still would have been a steal at just $49 in-store (marked down from over $300).  And as an added bonus, they’re actually pretty comfy.  Thumbs up to the manufacturer for adding extra-cushioning at the ball of the foot.
