Fashion really can develop into an actual emergency sometimes.
For instance, last night my next door neighbor Jodi decided she needed the perfect pair of boots to go with her little black dress. She wasn’t headed to an expensive night out on the town but to a dinner with our neighborhood “Mom’s Club”. And with this group of girls, fashion is key if you know what I mean.
She needed my practical, not too fussy, not too pricey charcoal wedge boots.
Here’s why I like them:
- These are real boots for real girls who need to multi task!
- The wedge style makes them comfortable and casual enough for daytime, BUT, the heel height gives them a little something extra that doesn’t make you feel like you are sloshing through puddles in rain boots.
- The charcoal color is unexpected and can save you from going out in all black.
- They can be paired perfectly with any evening look from leggings to dresses.
- They are the perfect evening accessory to dress down a super trendy cocktail dress that assures others you aren’t trying too hard.
- The price!!! Anytime you can find boots under $100 that are fashionable and can carry you day to night, I say FABULOUS!
The fit was great, they complimented her Judith March dress and she was off.
Being neighbors, we share a lot of things from a cup of sugar to bottles of wine. When a neighbor is in need, we are there for them. . .so we do happen to have keys to each other’s houses.
I texted Jodi a short message at 10 p.m. letting her know I was headed to bed and that I would get my boots back another time and that she didn’t need to return them that evening. I set our house alarm like normal, (I know house alarms are for the paranoid but let’s just say we live in area that’s being revitalized) and I was off to sleep.
Two hours later my husband and I are awakened by the sound of sirens blazing. Before I can get a word out to warn my unsuspecting husband, he’s on the phone with our local alarm company investigating what “Zones” have been violated. As the operator and him isolate the violation to our front door, I can hear our call waiting beeping.
Our shaken, slightly inebriated Mom’s Club diner Jodi is on the other line.
Case in point, her fashion emergency turned into a real one! But at least my boots are home safe and sound.
