WANT: 80%20 boots

all miiiine! adair boots in gray

WANT. okay, no more want. I BOUGHT! I broke the challenge (for reals this time) tonight with this purchase...oooo I can't wait for these beautiful 80%20 boots by Ce Ce Chin to arrive from Karmaloop. (20% off coupon does feel nice...and makes these mighty affordable!)

I was torn and almost got em in black, but I felt they look so much cooler in elephant gray. Just a hint of pretty mixed with a nice hefty hiking boot weight...and with a built-in 3 inch heel! Here's to my hoping my little legs will get a dose of leg-lengthening magic! I'm looking forward to pairing with differing shades of grays, blacks and white- more specifically, semi-sheer tights in a charcoal gray with rolled shorts (while the weather still permits).

I love Ce Ce Chin's girl-meets-boy philosophy: "I wasn’t going to wear dunks, but I didn’t wear a lot of heels either," she says. " (from the designer's interview in NY Mag's The Cut) Very cool, my kinda gal.

I'll leave you with a couple beauties. 80%20 also recently tweeted an opening for a Design and Product Development Assistant on their site here, in case you're interested.
