It's likely you have (or had) some bonus bucks right now. You know, that unexpected money you receive from work or holiday parties or holiday gifts. And because it's a bonus, you OWE it to yourself to treat yourself, or someone worthy with these dollars.
Until recently, I was running around with some bonus bucks of my own, courtesy of my company. And while it's no longer unexpected (they give it out every year), it's still a bonus that I look forward to spending on something guaranteed to make me smile. For 2 1/2 weeks this money was burning a whole in my pocket! Would I use it toward a pair of gym shoes (we say gym shoes in Chicago) I've been coveting, towards some wireless headphones? Who knew? I didn't even know.
Then, a few days before the new year, after unsuccessfully finding the gym shoes I wanted, I wandered into the Dr. Martens store and found these beauties!
It was love at first sight! As soon as I tried them on, I. WAS. IN. LOVE. It was perfect. THEY WERE PERFECT. It was kismet. AND, I had been in the market for a this very style of Dr. Martens boots. It really was meant to be. But, most importantly, I wouldn't even have these boots if it wasn't for the bonus bucks. So, do yourself a solid and treat yourself with unexpected funds on something fantastic that will bring you as much joy as I get when I step into these Docs.
Update: Rocked these to the OTR II show, and gotta say, it's one of my fave looks this year. Decided to jump on the fanny pack wagon (again) too.
