知己知彼百战百胜

didn't manage to sell the boots so i've retired them for my own use. been wanting to wear them but could never get it right with some bottoms or dresses. it's chilly today and these were the only pair of bottoms that didn't look too off with the boots.  

and the pants had to fail. the zip wasn't working smoothly as i got ready for work. then the zip finally malfunctioned when i was about to get out of the office toilet. thank God the zipper head was able to stay at the opening at the waist. and thankfully the top was long enuf in covering the gaping hole. now i gotta look for another pair of bottoms to go with these boots.

btw, i cut the other pair of boots. cut them too low, i think. but still passable. but didn't work cos i'd have to sew up the inner lining to the leather and then the inner soles also needed to be lined. gave up. also gave up trying to wear these again. it's just futile.
