Function VS. Fashion...

I had to take Sophie to DSW to exchange a pair of shoes that she got for her birthday.  Shoe shopping is normally about the only kind of shopping I can stand, aside from shopping for horsie stuff at the tack shop.  However, one step inside any shoe store selling stuff for fall and I start to twitch.  Maybe it's me (and I'm willing to concede it probably is) but when they position some of the boots they are trying to sell as "Riding Boots.", well, my eyes cross and I get a little squirrely.

This is the result of this afternoon's trip.  I'm kinda proud of it, if I do say so myself.

  1. I do that all the time. My mother and I visit DSW, she keeps pointing out boots that she just knows I'll love because they look horsey, and I get horrified.

  4. I find this hilarious... And the worst part is usually they're fugly as all hell. I want someone to try and ride in those and then try and return them when they fall apart and see what happens hahaha. Or now they have "riding pants" with the patches in some of the fancier clothing stores. Really? I used to get gawked at walking through stores or coffee shops in my riding getup... But now I know they were just jealous. ;)
