Closet Pictorial: Sweet Sugar Boots
Sometimes, during these summer days, you just have to let go. Do something you’ve never one before, indulge in a forbidden pleasure or explore a random detail on the map. Summer is about freedom, the happy teenager of the seasons. Let your hair down, fill your closet with color, and enjoy every single flavor.
I never really got that until I moved to a place where one really has to wait for summer. Now that it’s here, I find an extra spring in my step, enjoying the blasts of sunshine and the comforting contrasts of thunderstorms breaking through the heat. It’s been the perfect sort of weather lately, though I can’t wait for another rainstorm…because of this recent purchase:
It’s a seriously SWEET Sugar boot, one of my favorite brands because of their way with marrying durability and adorable feminine designs. I adore this pretty graphic pattern on the boot, somewhat like a sketchbook tear-out, selectively-colored, carefully-inked. I call these my "doodle" boots - they’re made of canvas with rubber soles. I think they can withstand quite a bit of wet weather.
What really gets me is the buckle on this shoe - not just for decorative purposes! You can adjust it to the narrowness of your ankle, or expand it to accomodate those big warm socks for cooler weather.
I have a mind to wear it to the symphony picnic this upcoming weekend. I think this will go nicely with a picnic of strawberries, rosy wine and Gershwin tunes, n’est-ce pas?
