Saturday Night Fever: Puss-n-Boots

      19 Comments on Saturday Night Fever: Puss-n-Boots

Like most people, because of the Coronapocalypse, I am now ordering things online at a rather alarming rate.

For me, mostly, this amounts to shopping on eBay and at ThredUP.

One of my fab secondhand finds in recent weeks were these:

black boots with white tips from ThredUP

I tend to unbox my online orders and just… leave them laying about in random places…

*laugh*

Until I am ready to try them on or put them away or say, “What was I thinking?!?” and give them to somebody more suited to The Thing I Ordered.

So these boots were thus ‘chilling’ when my husband saw them sitting next to the dining table and did a double-take, because — what with the soft texture and the black-and-white — he had flashbacks of “OMG, kitty!”

Once assured that I had NOT brought a new cat into the house (he is secretly terrified of me rescuing a new fuzzy buddy — so much so that he had a minor hear attack when he saw my new stuffed kitty sitting on the arm of my reading chair the day I got it), he walked over to where my boots were sitting and said something along the lines of, “Um. But those are… Sexy…? Boots?”

(In other words: He was befuddled. Because, menopause.)

I just smiled and said, “Yes, they kinda are, aren’t they?”

And left it at that.

Until a few days later when I decided to try on these mistaken-identity boots…

…and sent him photos of the results…

…which, I suspect, put him in mind of a whole different kind of kitty. 😛

(and, I hope, dispensed with the ‘question’ of SEXY)

.

I don’t think I’ll be wearing these very often or for very long at one time (because, four inch heels)…

BUT

I do think they’ll have their uses. 😉

What do YOU think, hmmm?

This post is part of my Saturday Night Fever project I’ve undertaken for 2021. You can click the badge to read more about it or see here for SNF posts to-date.

I’m also linking this post to Monochromerotic (click the badge below for more info), which is a photography meme focused on monochrome erotic photography, because I think the final photo on display above fits the bill quite nicely (if I *do* say so myself) thankyouverymuch. 😉

    Major Boot Envy over here.
    I managed to be able to wear heels through the first five sprains to my left ankle.
    Sprains Six and Seven relegated me to Sensible Shoes Only.
    I’m still ticked off about this…

      Oh geez — !!!

      I mostly don’t wear heels because they don’t coordinate well with What I Do (for a living). But I have a few fun pairs.

      These ones… I had them on for about 15 minutes for the purpose of taking pictures and then my feet started screaming. So they are, admittedly, incredibly impractical. (But so much FUN!) 😉

      Haha! I’m going to use that as potential purchasing criteria from now on. These are for work, these are for going out, these are for playing outside, and THESE are for an occasional strut around the house. 😛

    I love those. Boots are very important in my life but yeah practicality/menopause are conspiring to crush my boot wearing … although it doesn’t stop the yearning! You look sensational in them so I think the purchase is already justified from the pleasure you’ve got (and shared). Marvellous … and I’m loving your new writing meme, just off to study the rules. Monocrome pic is ace by the way.
