I think I can rationalize this by saying that I prefer one Chilean style (the shorter, wide boots with no heels). The U.S. is teeming with sexy, tall boots that I'll never even try on. Why? Because I cannot wear them and if "what not to Wear" and my mother have taught me anything, it's that good fit always trumps what's fashionable. I'm too short and my calves are too big for anything tall to go on them so I adore the tiny Chilean boots that don't come up far enough to turn my ankles into those dreaded cankles. What I also love about my recent purchases is that both were very reasonably priced which is a rarity when shopping in Chile.
What's going on here? Are things "en oferta" actually going to be a deal? Are we going to see a Target and an H&M pop up so we can look both stylish and afford our apartments? Is Chile finally realizing its clothes are ridiculously overpriced??
HAH, NO! I know it was just luck. I don't think Chile's quite there yet on the affordable, well-made, fashionable clothing. But I'm happy with my two good deals.
Here's a picture of my beloved footwear (I originally took that picture to show my mom/get her approval which is why you can see newly-mohawked Italo in the background):

I am too short too, but I bought some tall boots anyway, for winter, to wear with skirts, or under pants (too short to wear them over pants). I don't pay much attention to fashionable, I think my likes are more "classic" so it takes me a long time to find something I like (because it is never "in style") I also hate uncomfortable shoes, these boots are Clarks and are so comfy I could run in them. I actually got them in black and brown, which probably breaks some fashion rule about having two of the same thing... who knows.
Glad you found something you really love, that is always justification to buy it :-)
Cuute boots!! Way to go! Liked the Machu Picchu photos too! I actually thought that's what your post was going to be about because of the title. Nice twist.
V's adjusting fine, I think. Lots of English, yes. hahaha. But he's doing well with it so far. I feel like things are totally normal, and am happy to be home :)
Saludos :) Hi to Italo
Hi Andre!
My name is Victor Velásquez and I´m journalist in Santiago. Well I´d like to know if you are in Chile, because we are making a tv show so I need some people to make a few interviews for the tv show.
If you can talk with me, I give you my mail: victor@mediatuna.com or my mobile phone: 9128 9753
Bye...
