Bootie-licious

Dress: Chinatown (by the way, the sleeves-bit is part of the dress); tights: H&M; Boots: Woolworths.

I originally planned on titling this post "It's a Jungle Out There". Mostly because when I first saw this dress, I thought it was animal print and, I mean, who doesn't love animal print?! On closer inspection, I realised it was some sort of abstract mess; a garble of of black, grey and white. I still liked it, though.

But, why focus on the dress, which I picked up for a song at Chinatown, when I have these boots? Because these boots (oh boy, these boots!) deserve their own, dedicated post.

My parents bought them for me for my birthday recently, which I really appreciated since I really needed boots, but I'm also saving for an overseas trip. I couldn't exactly go dishing out my cash for a pair of R700 boots. My parents, however, were feeling pretty generous. Score.

I few posts back, I showed you my winter wishlist -- and the one thing on the list I really planned on getting (rather than just wishing on a star for) was a pair of black, army-like boots. I'm pretty picky with boots. I like them to be comfortable, leather and not too girly.

I searched quite a few stores over two weekends, which is a lot of effort for me. After that, I gave up for a while. On the off chance, I spotted these boots at Woolworths as I passed through the shop (you could say I took the "scenic" route) on my way to the movies. Fate, I reckon.

Now all I need are brown boots...

Please note: it would totally suck if no-one noticed I blow-dried my hair, which is a pretty big deal because doing your hair is a waste of 20 minutes you could spend watching Game of Thrones and eating Doritos in your PJs (too much detail?).
