Marching through winter

Even though these photos were taken in February, I thought it befitting to post them today, as the first of March greeted us with yet another snow storm.

My weekend in Boston was fun, though only a further confirmation of the fact that I am not a creature built to withstand the cold, even indoors I did not wish to be far from my coat.

My new Cole Haan booties, the ones which took me four months to find, were put to the test this weekend, and I'm pleased to say that after a day (approximately 18 hours of wear and walking) my feet were not in any severe pain or discomfort. This is kind of amazing for me.

I purchased them for $95, which is about half off their list price of $198, though last I looked they were down to $83, which is frustrating, but what can I do? (From what I understand the price adjustment window with Amazon is seven days after shipping.) I'll I can say is that I'm happy I had them to wear over the weekend, and for the comfort and what I assume to be high quality of the boots, I'm confident I will get my cost per wear way down.

March is a new month, and a new chance to stick to my budget, right?
