Every single store I go into they are already selling gladiator sandals and flip flops! WTF? Do they understand that in Chicago and most of the country, it is about 15 degrees and getting ready to snow?
So, my journey to buy black boots started yesterday. First, I went to target. As, I walked in the store I immediately noticed the bathing suits again. Those bathing suits have been up since before Christmas! So, I walk past them straight to the boots. I am on a mission, I want to get a pair of black boots that are cheap. As, I approach the shoes I notice that the flip flops are starting to come out. No big deal they will still have black boots. Everyone is wearing these I have to have a pair. Quick glance, I see nothing but gladiator sandals. Nope don't need them have a few pairs and why would I buy them now, I have a solid 6 months of winter left!
Target does not have a single boot. All, they have are those gross winter boots that are huge and only for the snow. No, big deal my brother wants to head to TJ Max's. I think they will have them there, if not we will run into DSW where they only sell shoes! We hit TJ Max's and they have a few pairs of boots. But guess what they are BROWN! I already have brown boots and I am strictly looking for black. I then easily convince Jake that we should stop at DSW. Next to the DSW is a Marshall, so I know he won't mind stopping. Plus is DSW fails then I can stop at Marshall for the boots.
Into to DWS and they have at least 50 pairs of boots. Great, I am going to find them here I think. Wrong I walk up and down the aisle for the perfect pair, which I finally find and they only have them in size 6. I am a solid 10 no way am I getting my huge foot in that one. So, I keep looking. All, I seem to find are boots for $200 bucks in size 10. Every other boot they have is a size 5 or 6. All, of the giant sizes are gone!!
I get over that and head to Marshalls. We are now at the 4th store; I know I am going to find them. Straight for the boots. It is around 8:30 so Marshall’s is stocking up the shoe department. I move around them quickly to size 10. No black boots again. I see every other color but black. So, I think maybe I am being too picky start looking for gray. They will still match all of the black clothing I have. Looking for gray, no gray, no black, no boots! Jake and I leave the store with nothing in our hands
Today, I start again on the journey for black boots. I head to another mall and check out another DSW, another Marshalls, a Nordstrom rack, and Steinmart. NOTHING NOTHING AT ALL! I did not even try on a pair. So, do they sell boots in the winter?
So, I head back to the city to pick up my Fiancé Steve from work. We then decide that we should go to Famous Foot Wear and Payless. We go into Payless and they have a pair of size 10 black boots. Could it be that I will get these boots from payless? I check out the price and they are $60 bucks!! Are you kidding me $60 for PAYLESS BOOTS!! I say no way and we head to Famous Foot Wear. Famous Foot Wear has a few pairs and they are one sale. I see a pair of black boots, I head over and OMG they have a 10!!! WOOHOO I grab them and walk around the entire store to see if they have others. Nope just this one in size 10. The sales associate ask if I need help and if I can’t find my size he can order them. Order them, no way I have been to at least 6 stores and I want these boots NOW! I try on these black boots and they suck. They make me look fat!!! I do not need to look any fatter!!
We leave and I am really bummed now. I am thinking, I am never going to get black boots. I could order them online, but I am being greedy and want them now. Plus, I have on the jeans that I would wear with the boots and I want to make sure they fit right.
We are going to pass a Dots on the way home. I ask Steve if we can just stop really quickly and I will run in. I am pretty sure they are not going to have them but, it’s worth a peek. They always have trendy stuff and best thing about Dots, is they are CHEAP! I run in and look. Lots of brown, some weird stripper boots, and there they are the pair I was searching for. I find a pair of magenta tall boots. These could do I am thinking. They are not black, but I can't be so picky. I look for a size 10 no 10 but I find an 11. Those could work??? I try on the magenta size 11 boots and WOOHOO they fit!! Not perfect, but 8 stores later they are perfect!! The price on the boots $20 bucks!! They will fill my black void!
I buy the boots ask the sales women if they sell them in black. Of course they do but they are sold out. They are sold out all over CHICAGO!!! WTF? Being sneaky I decide that I am going to the dots by my house to see if they have these boots in black. I can either keep these and buy the black ones or exchange them for the perfect boots. We get to the other dots and nope sold out. They do not even have the boots I just bought!!! By now I am tired and am settling for the size 11 magenta boots. At least I found a pair!
No nap today I had to find boots!!!
