Ankle Boot Affection

About 2 or 3 years ago, I found the cutest pair or slouchy but sleek ankle boots with a 4' heel that made my legs look a hell of a lot longer (since I'm 5'2 and vertically challenged, this is always a tremendous benefit) and I bought them immediately and saved them for cooler temperatures. Suddenly, ankle boots hit the fashion world in a major way: they were everywhere. Even my previous skeptics who said, "Lorraine, why the hell are you buying those boots, you look like Salma Hayek in Studio 54 the movie" were picking up pairs for themselves, choking on their own words (see why you need to trust my vision, and keep your words a whole lot sweeter?)

I imagined pairing them with a little skirt, or, in my biggest vision for these killer boots, a pair of cute, comfy cutoff denim shorts and a band tee or slouchy sweater, cute belt, with tanned legs on display for the world to see. However, I also knew I had to wait for the day when I'd clocked decent amount of time at the gym so my legs would look much more like Olivia Palermo's in this photo, and less like, well, my legs. (Although one could question whether or not my legs would EVER look like Olivia's. I think my muscle in my upper thigh is bigger than her entire leg--and yes, ordinarily, I do put in significant time exercising. That's the way the biological cookie crumbles, I guess. Some of us are destined to have legs like a small sparrow, (cough! OLIVIA!) and some of us will always have Beyonce legs, and there's no shame in that game, my friends.)

Nevertheless, the vision may happen because I just found another lust-worthy pair of ankle boots from Aldo that I have been shamelessly counting my pennies (literally) to purchase. If I can justify buying myself a $130 pair of shoes (hey, they could always be Manolos, baby, and those puppies are $400 bucks a pop) in spite of my impending medical bill crisis, I will be stepping out on the town in new ankle booties, complete with that whole biker-slick chick-take me, I'm a rockstar vibe goin on.

Cutoff shorts, optional.
