I had a tackcident during Black Friday/Small Business Saturday.... I had planned to behave myself because I have much less extra money these day (who doesn't amiright??). And I was doing pretty well, just getting stuff on my gift list. But then...
So I was cleaning out the promotions tab in my email and saw the Celeris Black Friday email. I did not participate this year because I don't need any boots, and the chances of me winning the free pair are very, VERY slim. So I did not try. But they had 35% off in stock stuff so I figured I'd scroll through and see if they had any cute belts I had to have. They did not. But they did have something else. Something I was really sad to have had to pass on earlier this summer. There was this REALLY fun color of leather that was super limited and I didn't order a pair because I really didn't have the funds for that. But I was sad about it.
Well. So I was scrolling through their in stock sale stuff and what do I see? A seconds pair of boots in that really fun leather that I had missed out on, IN MY SIZE. Okay, they're a little shorter than I would order custom, but not much. Can you believe my luck? So obviously, I did the very irresponsible thing and ordered them. I mean, it's fate right? They're my size. They're 35% off the sale price. It would be like taunting fate to leave them behind. I paid for them with my apple card which I only have because right before Covid I bought a Macbook AND an apple watch at the same time and saved a bunch of money by purchasing with the apple card. I hardly ever use this card, and I didn't realize I had a pile of available rewards cash. So I applied that to the boots, and so out of pocket (including shipping) I really only spent $300. Which is irresponsible and bad of me. But you know YOLO!
These boots are seconds so they do have a teeny tiny flaw. Which is just that some of the boot color is on the heel. How terrible. (Sarcasm.) Anyway. They've already shipped so I should have them sometime next week I imagine. In the meantime, here's a screenshot of them:
I'm ridiculously excited for them. Happy Chanukah to ME!!!
Ooh they are pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I can't wait to meet them!
Deleteomg those are amazing! Totally meant for you. I can't wait to see what outfit you wear with them.
ReplyDeleteThey're definitely bright! But I'm here for it!
DeleteThose are really pretty! Definitely seems like they were meant to be with you in their new forever home :-D
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think so too!
DeleteOhhh those are gorgeous!!! I snagged a pair of ariat conistons, I needed some solid winter kicks and they were on just enough of a sale to justify them.
ReplyDeleteOh good choice! Those are fun AND warm! Winning combo
Deletewhen i saw tackaccident I knew it was boots. Always boots :)
ReplyDeleteIt's always boots! I clearly have a problem. Haha!
DeleteI bought 2 pairs of boots! But that was because I was unsure of how they would fit and the pair that didn't fit/I didn't like as much is going to be returned.
ReplyDeleteOh that definitely only counts on one. See? You were very responsible! What kind did you get?
DeleteI ordered a pair of Tredsteps and Ego 7s and am keeping the Ego 7s. Both pair seem to fit about the same, but the Tredsteps have some softer, looser leather around the laces to help them flex, but it felt really weird. And I'm sure once the boots break in the ankle will be very saggy and too big.
DeleteGood choice! I think the Ego 7's are a little better quality too.
DeleteI had my tackcident a couple weeks ago when CWD Sellier was having a sale on their used saddles on their website. I now own a 2022 Arion saddle.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh! Have you ridden in it? Do you like it? I'm so curious about those. I'm not a fan of CWD, so I'm calling this a definite upgrade! (I'm pretty sure you had a CWD before?)
