Good morning, pastries and turnovers! Listen: I am having an issue with boots.
Yes, boots! See, I am an Old. (An Eternal, if you will.) Once upon a time, we didn’t have ankle boots. We had tall boots that were layered over skinny jeans (love the pants, hate the name). Now I have these duck boots for the rain, and they end at my ankle, and I’ve got no idea what to do with my jeans! Do I cuff them above the boot? Then my ankles get cold! Do I just give up and pull them down over the boot? Then they get wet, like the bootcut jeans of my high school years! I have never been able to figure this out satisfactorily. Suggestions welcome.
