“Find some pirate boots for me,” I was told by Blythe. Aside from the fact she had just purchased a new pair of boots, she wanted me to find the impossible. Okay, maybe not impossible, but improbable for her price range. I was instructed to find a pair of dark brown, non-slouchy boots with a small heel and a top that folds over. She pretty much wanted the boots Jack Sparrow wore in Pirates of the Caribbean (why does the anticipation of spring always make me think of pirates?) This was about a month and a half ago, and I’ve yet to find a suitable pair of boots for her, but I have found a pair Vivienne Westwood that takes swashbuckling to an extreme.

The slouchy fit is oddly reminiscent of a little girl playing in her mothers boots, but I figure if guys get to wear over-sized, extra-long t-shirts that make the look like 5-year-olds, then I can wear over-sized, slouchy pirate boots. The other perk is you won’t have to worry about not having skinnies that are skinny enough to tuck into them, or dealing with the whole boots make my cankles look even more canklely problem (everyone has their flaws).

Just a suggestion, don’t wear these boots. Don’t wear them in the rain, unless you have a severe case of dry mouth and plan on drinking the water you collect while walking down the street. I’d say the same would go for any other for of precipitation due to its accumulative nature.
