These, my friends, are my new boots:

I don't want to think too much about the price—especially as they were meant to be on special but I was too chicken to say anything when I got to the counter. (Chicken!) By wearing them, and telling you where I wear them, I reduce their cost and manipulate them into not making me feel guilty. I have items in my wardrobe that are now so low in cost per wear that they are actually free. It saves me a lot of money. I am so economical—I can't understand why my dad wouldn't agree with this statement.
1. Rumi's. B——'s Birthday. Worn with my black skirt-as-dress, white gypsy shirt, black broderie anglais shirt and mint green tights. They elicited some swear words of appreciation from a drunk male on Lygon Street, as did my hairdo—the former being the more positive of the two. Not too hard to break in, a little tight across the top of my foot but hopefully that will wear in. Cost per wear: $275.00.
2. Drive-In Coffee. Breakfast with Dee. Worn with Denim skirt, black hoodie, green art nouveau overshirt and black poncho. Benji was ill and sleeping so Dee and I parked in the Uni carpark, I minced for coffee and we sat in the car and pee-ed the desperate students attempting to get a space off. They elicited praise from one of my classmates who spent much of the class googling Irregular Choice. Cost per wear: $137.50.
3. Work. Worn with a cut-off denim skirt which is optimistically before its time on the losing weight scale, black leggings, a white shirt and my blue and white striped cardigan. All in all, not the best look, but the boots got their fair share of being talked about and a request to be turned down. Cost per wear: $91.66 recurring.
4. Phew! They have been fixed.I didn't notice that one of the heel protectors was gone and so the above three wears have worn one heel down almost a third of the way. Travels, uni, work, boyfriends and theses—things that take time—have meant it is only now in the second week of November that they have been (expensively) repaired. Dinner at Dee's. Worn with my spotty hiking dress—is there such a thing as too many spots—black cardigan, denim shorts and fish-net stockings. Cost per wear: Add $50 for the repair. $81.25.
5. One am raid of the sweety and coffee counter at Cavaltera or Cavalatra or similar at the Crown Casino. Worn with silver tights, denim jeans, black top and my raincoat. Cost per wear: $65.00
6. Aqua Christmas Party followed by movies at Chadstone (where there was a look or two). Worn with purple puffy sleeve top, black top/dress with the v-straps close to the neck, mint stockings and black poncho; long black chandelier earrings. Cost per wear: $54.1666 (repeating)
7. Dinner with J——: Worn with my new blue Mettalicus dress, pulled up to be a short dress rather than long; black fish nets and a my new op-shop one button black cardigan. Cost per wear: $46.4285714
8. Casual night shift at work: Worn with a mid calf length demin skirt with Las Vegas belt and a white whirt. Simple, clean, slight tubby. Cost per wear: $40.625.
9. Work—if I don't go anywhere exciting, I need to make where I do go exciting by wearing my boots. Mountains to Mohamed and that sort of thing eh? Worn with a black knee length pleated flouncy skirt, black singlet and green metallic jumper-let which buttons up just below the chest and has great flouncy sleeve. Also wore purple spotted knee high tights. It was oft-commented on and a drunk Spaniard tried to play inside my cleavage at the Casino as it was a little risque too. Cost per wear: $36.111111111111 repeating. Bad news: Have to get the glue out again. Don't start letting me down Irregular Choice, $36 is a little high to be getting the glue out again!
10. With new ICSs on the way as we speak (SS11) the last catalogued wear has happened this week. Teamed with purpley-blue tights,denim shorts again, a white t-shirt with fluro grinning Cheshire cat and long blue checked shirt dress. How young do I think I am? Worn to work and on into the night for Chinese in China town and coffee in Fed Square. Meals not included the final cost per where here, and the cost to be improved on now that some glue has been administered is $32.50. Happy wearing—they are crowd stoppers that is for sure!
