That's what skinny jeans with boots do for you. A week and a half ago I was as anti-skinny as they come. Who wants tight jeans that accentuate the wrong curves, don't know where to go at the top of your shoes, and probably aren't long enough, anyway? And then my good friend jojoba, whose opinion I trust more than any fashionista, shared with me the confidence benefits of wearing skinny jeans and boots. I had to try it! I mean, who wouldn't want to feel like Han Solo? Conveniently, the very next weekend I took a trip to San Marcos, where the famous Outlet Mall was on the agenda.You can guess what the first item on my shopping list was.
It so happens that the aesthetic effect of my skinny jeans is not what I expected. They make my legs look curvy, not at all like an upside down triangle as I would've thought before. They make me look like my thighs don't even touch (I'm not advocating thigh girdling, it's just an observation). With my nice black boots, ruffled white blouse, and red accessories (another fabulous San Marcos find), I look quite the sophistication. A sleek, sophisticated woman...who feels like Han Solo. THIS is the life.
...which is probably why I've been craving a Star Wars re-watch (original trilogy only, of course). That, and I am getting increasingly worried about John Williams' health--not that there's any reason to worry about John Williams' heath other than that he's approaching the big 8.0. He can't compose forever, and I'm dreading the day when there will be no possibility of any new John Williams magic to sing in my ears. As it is, he has two promising scores on their way soon--The Adventures of Tintin and War Horse.
I saw John Williams and Steven Spielberg chatting on TCM the other night. Awesome!
I'm also in the market for a good Blu-Ray player just so I can indulge in the Blu-Ray editions of Star Wars and Pride & Prejudice. Any recommendations?

Okay, I'll say it: those are hot boots. Nice, Janeheiress.
Why thank you, Abinadi! I'm seriously considering wearing a holster to match.
I feel so influential. This post makes me want new black boots. Mine are old and ratty. I wish we could have a Star Wars marathon together (those episodes I-III don't really exist). And:
"I'd rather kiss a wookie."
"That can be arranged!"
Well, now I just need some brown boots to wear on other days!
"Why, you stuck up, half witted, scruffy looking nerf herder!"
Somehow cowboy boots seem to be the ultimate in confindence boosting footwear. Just a personal observation.
"Who's scruffy looking?"
