Wierd mid-life indulgences

[shootingstar]

Hope your running improves in spades, Oak. I probably would end up hiring an art teacher for private lessons if I could afford it.

Freaks me out just seeing prices for some of the leather boots. But gorgeous. I bought and wear a black slim spring coat with slight shine in the fabric... over 10 years ago. I get compliments from both women and men. Timelessly chic. It has been an excellent fashion investment..

FYI- after being pissed off that if I bought a leather belt, I would have to go to the shoe repair shop to pay to punch a hole. So I abandoned a $40.00 belt in the store. I didn't realize how difficult it was to find an ordinary black wide belt that fitted me.

And went direct to the shoe repair for hole punching prices. Instead I bought a cheap belt for $10.00 (leather not great but who cares) and had to have 2 extra holes (free) punches in so I could cinch in the belt around my waist properly. Size 30 inch belt is abit too big.

One of the reasons why I never a thick belt in jeans before, I thought it would just make me look shorter and stumpier by dividing my body in nearly half. I have short legs and am 5'1".
Now I don't care.
