Thankful on Thurdays (The Friday Edition) – Orchids and Lilies

 So, Thursday was so busy, I didn’t have time to post this, but I still felt I wanted to get this out there before the week is over.

These are all photos I took down at the botanical garden in Balboa Park.  I really love to walk around in there.  It is the kind of place that just makes you feel calm and relaxed and happy.  In this crazy month of December, I could really use some time with the flowers.

Thankful on Thursdays

Hello Readers!

In the past on this blog, I have done posts on 5 things that make me happy.  I want to continue to focus on things to be thankful for, but to try to do it on a more regular basis.  On that topic I have been thinking of doing regular posts on Thursdays called… wait for it… “Thankful on Thursdays.”  This can be things that I am truly thankful for or maybe some weeks it might be a bit less serious, and just be things that make me feel happy.

This week I am feeling good about boots that work with my calf size. 🙂  You might be thinking that boot calf size is nothing to be thankful for, but God has gifted me with very generous calves, and I am trying to embrace those babies.  These boots make me feel better about myself, that maybe I am not a total freak of nature. 😉  I feel thankful for designers who take all women into consideration when they make a boot.

This is the Michel Kors “Calista.”  It is super comfy and warm, as it is lined with faux fur.  I like that this design can be dressed up, but it is also casual enough for every day.  I like it best with skinny jeans or a casual skirt.

 This is the Stuart Weitzman “Bootiful.”  This amazing boot is made of stretchy suede and fits nicely over many sizes of calf.  I own it in black and red because it is such a useful boot.  Due to the sleek design however, this boot is not good over pants, but is fantastic with all kinds of dresses and skirts.

This is the Charles David “Curve.”  This boot does fit over my calf, but I do admit, it is the tightest fit I own.  Sometimes a girl just has to suffer through a little calf-hug all day in order to get into such a fabulous boot.

So there it is.  Boots.  They make me happy just looking at them here, and even more so when they are on my calf-ishly gifted legs.

Thanks for visiting!
