Ooooohhhh ... I like that argument miss! My parents were against me marrying the husband initially so I can remind him of that and say that I married him no matter what and that's turned out ok! (Hehe. Well, he might not think so in the midst of this boot business!)

I usually end up buying shoes I like, and trying to get them on sale as much as humanly possible. I even try to wait until last-gasp sales (I love how some boutique shoe stores get right down to about $20 towards the end!!). But, if I go head over heels, all bets are off.

You can't believe the IVF thing? I can't believe Lily is over 7 months old!!!!!!!!!!

Ok. The verdict is in. Almost. I think the poll runs out at the end of today ...

BUT!

Regardless of the result, after all that, I've decided to be really good and not buy them. I love them, but a winter coat would probably be a better buy, adn even if I bought another pair of sneakers, they're not going to cost what the boots do so it'll help the budget along.

I think the husband is expecting me to run out today and get them, so he'll be surprised when I come home empty-handed. Unless I find a coat of course!

I mean, I know you gave reasons, but they just don't stack up for me.

They're $440 Nikki.

It gives one pause

How else could I better spend $440? Plus, everyone falls off their chair at the price so I feel really embarrassed! As I probably *should* feel.

Good on you, Ginger. It's a real sign of grown upness when you just can't quite justify spending that amount of money on something - usally shoes, in my experience, as a fellow lover of expensive (and non practical) shoes... You do however, deserve to buy something!

OK Ginger. You're too good!!

I don't want to put a spanner in the works of your grown-upness but just wanted to let you know I bought my $400, black leather, knee-high, rouched ankle, high heel boots (I love them) before getting pregnant with Michaela and I am so glad I did because I can't imagine spending that much money on myself ever again now that my expensive little darling is in the picture.

I am ultra impressed that you are being so practical!

Don't worry ... there'll probably be a winter coat to make up for it!

Oh, I wish I could wear yellow. It's so pretty but makes me look jaundiced.

I KNOW!!! I saw it and drooooooled aplenty.

P.S. $440 is a VERY good reason to not buy boots.
