Where'd she get those boots?!

I am in a constant state of lust. Oh, don't worry, it's not what you think. It's...shoes. Geneva is not Paris. What I mean to say is, it's not a high fashion capital, but it is a major western European city and many of it's citizens are ex-pats, working in high level jobs at multinational corporations. That means money. And I see evidence of that every morning and afternoon on my treks to and from school with the kids. Like many women I know, I love shoes. I do not have a huge collection and I generally wear the same ones till they wear out, but who doesn't love to look? What got me in a tizzy of longing this morning was a pair of knee hi gray suede boots with a flat heel. I was sorely tempted to ask the lucky owner where she bought them, but thought better of it. Probably would have choked at the price tag anyway. One thing I would like to know about these so lushly dressed women:where do they go after dropping off their children? Laundry? Walking the dog? Dressed like that? Doubt it! I am assuming that they are not trotting off to work. More likely an espresso with other similarly shod companions. Don't get me wrong, I'm not envious, though I would love to have those boots.
