I have pondered purchasing boots for over two years. When a Georgia Girl moves to Texas, it seems necessary. So, with after-Christmas prices, and a gift card in my hand, I made the rounds of four or five stores, specializing in cowgirl boots. But, I felt like Cinderella’s sisters, as I tried on several brands that would not go over my instep! With frustration, I commented to a salesperson, “This must be a sign for me to forget about cowgirl boots and head back to the Georgia Beaches in flip-flops!” (He didn’t laugh.)
I had pretty much given up the idea of boots when I turned into Kohl’s as I walked past. They were having a shoe sale, but I didn’t see anything western looking. Then, on the top shelf of the Clearance section, I saw one box that proclaimed, “Cowboy Approved.” They were my size AND 60% off!! I thought to myself, “If these fit, I will have to buy them no matter what color they are.” Imagine my surprise to find cowgirl boots in my favorite lime green color! But the real test was when my foot slid right in – it was a Cinderella moment!
Okay, so they are gaudy green and not exactly what I had in mind. But I am a crazy artist lady, over 60, and can wear them with confidence! And, I shall.
