Label Whore

Does a $7 Top Cancel Out $300 Boots? Probs Not.

korsbootI wasn’t even going to write about my recent acquisition of these KORS Micheal Kors Slicker Lace-Up Rubber Boots. I neither paid for them nor deserved them; I just happen to be a spoiled brat whose Mommy buys her things for absolutely no reason.

For what it’s worth, I feel really, really guilty about that (albeit not guilty enough to not wear the boots).

So I’m coming clean: On my own dime, I’m a Cheap JAP through and through but when someone else is buying, the Label Whore reigns supreme. Hey, nobody’s perfect.

korsboot2I’m the first to admit that these boots are trendy as hell. They’re also the most in-your-face empowering pair of shoes I’ve ever owned; they’re durable enough to last through rain, snow, slush, mud and/or stepping in gum and look fabulous doing it. Worn under trouser jeans, they’re high-heeled, casual alternative to flats (ideal for my 5′2″ frame). Tucked into pants or leggings, they’re a total statement. And anything that makes a statement is, for the Cheap JAP, always In. (Fashion’s supposed to be fun, for fuck’s sake).
