When I went to visit my cousin this summer in RI, I bought my first pair of boots. No, no more UGGs...but legit boots...Tan leather, gorgeous boots. I hemmed and hawed for a about hour...Leather boots just weren't me. Ithaca...black Uggs ...jeans and a hoodie. Fashion...def not my thing. Didn't even get the courage to wear them until I got to Spain.
Now....I want a pair of boots in every color. Have tan and black....still need grey and red. Thank God I got those boots cause boots are everywhere in Spain...everywhere. From the one and a half year olds, who freely walk the streets in front of their parents, to the 85 year old dressed to the nines Spanish women. I'm not the only one who has become obsessed...When we walk to class...grocery store...just around Madrid..."Me gusta su botas." is said by one of us...if not all of us at the same time, when spotting a pair of boots we like.
Tall leather boots and gorgeous scarfs. Two things you need in Spain. I know boots are in style back home too...but definitely not to this extreme. The funniest thing is about it...is I'm giving in to it all. From sweats and hoodies to boots, scarfs and a long pea coat....who would have thought? I even get dressed up to go to the gym..(yeah the gym part might not last that much longer) Embracing the culture.
