*cough* I went OFF THE RAILS over the past twenty-four hours. I feel like I should feel most guilty about
these boots (side note: it says the color is "oxblood," but they're really more plum than anything), but I love this style of Doc, and I actually do need new shoes. I have one pair in this style -- but black with *dragons*! -- that I've been wearing three days out of four lately, and that's not just good for their lifespan (they're something like fifteen years old), so I've been trying to get around to getting another pair for something like three years now. I kept putting it off, but I got a coupon for 20% off last weekend at Record Store Day, and I still have some money from my weird tax return/bonus/FSA check infllux, so I took that as a sign that it's finally Meant To Be, especially when I easily got parking spot (not typical in that neighborhood). I have two pairs of 11- or 14-eye (can't remember which, but either way, they're tall) Docs that are lovely (one is hot pink patent leather, and the other is black with cherry blossoms embroidered on the sides), and I do wear them frequently in the winter, but it's just too warm now to wear anything higher than 8-eye, and my feet have weird problems that basically mean that, yep, Doc Marten Pascal is one of the the best non-sneaker shoe styles for me. I feel more comfortable buying another pair of them than a pair of an unknown quantity like Danskos or Doc Marten oxfords. I *want* a pair of Doc oxfords, but the reality is that they would press the wrong places on my feet, and SO MUCH PAIN.
Um. Yeah. The Docs. And a wax tart warmer, both Maybelline Bleached Neons Color Tattoos (yes, I realize they're basically dupes of two shades from last year, but I didn't get them last year, so they were absent from my collection. I really wish they had redone Waves of White, too!), coffee *and* soda syrups, a refill carbonator, two indie subs (Rainbow Honey and innocent+twisted alchemy. At least I opted for mini/sample versions on those two), a bunch of stuff from IKEA (at least that was under $50, and I passed on about four different shelving units that I desperately want), and about twenty other things I DID NOT need but thought, "Well, as long as I'm here, I might as well get..." Like top coat. And matte top coat, since I signed up for Rainbow Honey, and I really like mattifying those sorts of polishes, and it was only fifty cents since Wet'n'Wild was buy-one-get-one-half-off, and I *was* getting the regular top coat already.
Ugh. It's a really good thing I was already planning on just making one trip to the grocery store Friday night after work when I'm so tired I just want to go in, grab the absolute basic necessities for the following week, get out of there are quickly as I can, and then stay home all weekend watching stuff on Hulu/Netflix and cleaning my apartment until it's time to head out to my aunt's for GoT.
