Heels Are A Girl's Best Friend

I get wistful whenever I see them. My arms ache to pick them up and take them home.

I see other women with them and think, “Why can’t that be me?”

Oh, why don’t I live somewhere on the wintery East Coast where trudging through slushy streets and knee-high snow drifts would justify the purchase of a pair of trendy tall boots?

Sheesh, what did you think I was talking about?

We get like a snowflake or two each season here in these parts so a kicky pair of ankle boots are enough to keep my tootsies in warmth and comfort until the cherry blossoms bloom, but I just can’t stop looking at the suede “Relax” boots by Bettye Muller, available at SimplySoles ($595).

I usually like to keep my shoe lust in the “actually attainable” range, but buying these uber-versatile boots is like getting three boots in one. Kassie Rempel, SimplySoles guru/owner says: Scrunch ‘em down over tights or jeans, fold the cuff for a traditional knee-high look or unfold the cuff for the season’s over-the-knee trend. I’d be down with all three.

(Yes, I’m just trying to convince myself.)

What do you think, dolls: Do I have a convincing argument or should I save my pennies?
