These over-the-knee boots were probably one of my favorite purchases of last fall/winter. Last weekend I knew I wanted to wear this sweatshirt (it was my last unworn item from my latest Le Tote shipment) and my new black hat for a trip to the zoo. Then I realized my trusty OTK boots would be the perfect way to complete the look.

The only problem? My boots – and the rest of my cold-weather clothes – were in “the warehouse.”

The warehouse is what we call the storage area in our apartment. I could try to paint a picture for you, but nothing can really prepare you for what you’ll find in the warehouse. Laundry detergent. Tool boxes. Wrapping paper. Musical instruments. Folding chairs. A wooden coat rack with cats on it (what?). These are all actual things I had to wade through to get to the plastic tubs that hold my out-of-season clothes. Not surprisingly, the boots were at the bottom of the third tub, but I found them!

In sum: my house might be messy, but at least I look awesome.

I’ve been working a temp job this week – data entry, scanning and shredding documents, that kind of thing. I started this temp job the day after I became an officially licensed attorney. If there’s some kind of attorney pride that’s supposed to make me feel “above” simple office work, well…I don’t have it. Instead I have pride in the fact that I always pay my bills on time, and if I want to continue doing that, I gotta make a little money. So that’s what I’m doing.

As an added bonus, a job (temporary or not) gives me an excuse to get out of bed and put on real clothes such as these. Keep your fingers crossed that soon I’ll have a more permanent reason to get dressed!
