You know, I always thought it was just me. But, I buy boots, shoes, ankle boots on sale and I usually get a brown and a black pair. But the brown ones are always more comfortable. I don't have any idea why unless it's just the leather or the way they treat the leather to use different dyes. I always wear my brown boots/shoes out but never the black ones.
I am just the opposite. I am all about black shoes. My brown slides are hideous. They're quite cute, but they creak when I walk. My brown boots are uncomfortable. I don't like brown. Oh, and about taking them back? I don't know if you bought them at a chain or what, but if you didn't, I guess taking them back isn't an option seeing as how you bought them out of town.Quote:

I don't think I can take the current boots back I wore them outside.
Try to take them back anyway if you're near a store like the one you got them in. You never know and they just might take them back.Quote:

yes that is possible. I use to walk around in heels alot. Then along came two years of archaeology with its flat steel toes, and almost three years of airport with flats and nowheels kill me.
How is your work going Niamh?(love the new status btw, I always assumed you were 100% both :p)
Speaking of new boots!!(and a new skirt,for that matter)

I love them so! Although, they aren't that comfy...
those types of boots are all over Ireland at the moment. In fashion.
Guess what everyone! I'm going to the hairdressers tomorrow! I havent been to one in over seven years!:p (sister was a hairdresser) Might post a pick of my new hair when i'd done!:D
seven years!!:eek2: How long is your hair now?Quote:

Are you getting something major done? I just got bangs this last weekend which was huge for me...although I went kind of half-arsed and just got wispy side swept bangs but still, a big change since I haven't had anything even remotely resembling bangs in over 20 years.Quote:

I got bangs and it's way shorter now. If I was at home I'd post before and after pics.Quote:

But the salon is good - the place I go to now has all these great smells and I get a free head massage with every cut using aromatic oils. Although, I must say, with this part time work and student life, I may have to cut back.
My parents are really thrifty so I've never gone to salon (yes, I can hear Shalot chocking on her breath :p). I last cut my hair three years ago and usually cut my own ends in the bathroom. :p
(oooh, does anyone have any idea what I should put in it, since I moved to a cold climate? I'm confused now!)
