I had a shopping adventure on Monday at Saks Fifth Avenue, and I'll post some photos just as soon as the tailor finishes with the new clothes.
One of the things I got was a really cute black dress that would look great with knee-high boots.
{Cue dramatic music here.}
Naturally, the Saks ladies' shoe department, which famously has its own Zip code and takes up an entire floor of the department store, has not a single pair of boots to fit a lady with, um, athletic calves.
I bemoaned this to a friend of mine, who reassured me that I'd have no trouble finding extended calf boots on JCrew.com. She was right!
I found this cute pair and ordered them and they arrived and I tried them on and... well, it was very sad. They did not pull up over my calves. The extended-calf pair, that is.
So I'm back to square one with no boots and kind of bummed out about the whole thing. Is there anywhere else I could find boots that might work? Maybe a zipper would be better? I don't know.
