These are the boots I almost bought at Saks. For $99, perfectly workable.
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I will spring for flues and bras, pretty much. Though I am still surviving on wrongfit bras. I'm a 34G at last check and none of those tried are oriented right, while my old lane byrant's, with their wrong band size and cups suffice. They are at least located where my real estate is. But they slip around too much.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Next year I'm getting Doc Marten winter boots. The regular ones are completely water tight. Sometimes I'll think for a second water has gotten in but its just cold.
Lined ones? It'll be like I done died an' gone to heaven.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
$99 for those boots seems very reasonable. Last time I was in Saks (which may be the only time I've been in Saks) I just kind of drifted through in a daze whispering to myself how I couldn't even think about affording anything. It made an impression.

Because books.
Oh my, ita. Those are gorgeous. You should have splurged, lady.
One day, I'm going to get a regular old pair of Timberland work boots like these again. They were hugely trendy in junior high -- we all had them, and wore them pretty much daily, which is not really a fashion statement I need to make anymore.
But! Once they're worn in, they're comfortable as hell, and they withstand everything. Mine lasted until after Jake was born, which was a good 10+ years after purchase, and I wore them in the snow all the time.

The status is NOT quo.
I bought new shoes today! I got these sneakers at my friendly neighborhood running shoe store (this awesome independent place called Run with Us). The service was awesome. The salesperson watched me walk, measured my feet in terms of width and length, and put me in about eight different pairs until we found these. They even come in narrow, which is awesome for me; sneakers are always too wide for me. I was stupidly overdue. I don't even remember when I bought my old pair, but after they gave me a blister on our hike yesterday, I decided it was time. I wore the new pair all afternoon and LOVE them.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Damn, I let Frankie eat a bunch of rawhide at my aunt's house this weekend, and now I'm worried his guts will twist or something. Dog people, what should I look for?
(sorry to hijack, I'd rather be talking shoes)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I was very proud of myself tonight!
I am proud of you all of the time, Kathy. You are rocking!
