We are heading to Chicago on Friday and I have a lot of prep work to do.

I went to the Galleria yesterday thinking I could easily find some cute shoes that are comfortable to walk in. I got there right at 10:00 when they opened.

I found NOTHING. Everything has already been picked over! I have decided that I want some tall, flat boots. I am hoping to find something I can wear with dresses OR jeans and I’m (hesitantly) thinking about attempting the skinny jeans-tucked-into-boots look … against my better judgment.

This is what I found out: my legs don’t fare well against boots. Period. Meaning, it’s hard to get them all the way on.

And now I’m considering … THIS.
