I loved these boots, but alas they split on the top, allowing water in, which defeated the point. I wore them through puddles, to shows and muddy festivals. They've been there for the storm clouds and rain. They were often met with compliments from strangers. It was a hard goodbye, after 10 or 15 years of good times.
It's a sad goodbye when you aren't ready for it.
The farewells that are forced upon you.
Okay, well the lover bit isn't appropriate but as they say in The Castle, 'the whole vibe of the thing' fits.
They've been replaced with these snuggly and sparkly boots, though these are heavier so may not be as good for the mud and dancing at Bluesfest or other outdoor dancing.
Do you get sad when you have to replace old favourites?

I absolutely hate having to replace favorites, especially if they were perfect and you can't seem to find the same kind of perfection anymore.
ReplyDeleteThose are cool
ReplyDeleteCool boots! What a shame they wore out. I hate having to replace favourites too, as you can never find anything as good. Great song choices and your pup is adorable! ♥

Nice boots.
ReplyDeleteCool boots! I hate replacing anything because it's next to impossible to find a suitable replacement. It doesn't matter what it is! For instance, I had to buy a new dish drainer (countertop) because my old one the rubberized coating has worn off in places causing the exposed wire to rust. Anywho, I looked for stainless steel version with no luck finding what I want. I did find a plastic one that is similar in size that I ordered. I just hope it works well until I can find something better. It's aggravating! Oh well....I love your music theme and enjoyed especially the last clip of Shirley Temple. She was such a little darlin'! Have a boogietastic week, Lydia! xo
ReplyDeleteI also hate replacing things. And those boots would be impossible to replace. So beautiful, too (I love birds). But if it had been me, I would have outgrown them - I've grown an entire shoe size and width in the past few years. Loved Shirley Temple's dance with Bill Robinson. My Mom used to watch her movies on TV and, when I was really young, I would watch with her.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you had to give up those fabulous boots. They were most beautiful. I would love to have a pair. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. ♥
Ok..I love those boots! What a shame they finally wore out. Love the Shirley Temple part
ReplyDeleteThey had a long innings and did you proud! I miss my pink boots which were quite hig heeled. I couldn't wear them any longer but they always attracted compliments. Thanks for linking.
