Boot Woman Falls

I am a boot kind of woman. I like boots. They make me feel good with their smooth lines and kick-ass attitude. I can wear boots with trousers or long dresses or even knee length pencil -slim skirts.
I have many pairs: ankle; high heel, ridged for the snow; walking (as if but I like them) and knee high. One pair has even lasted from 1971 but I did throw out the thigh- high ones from that era. That was a mistake. I don't do flats so have avoided Ugg boots and any like them as I prefer to feel slightly elevated rather than sloppy- footed.
When not going out I wear clogs; white theatre ones for the early morning foray downstairs and brown ones for when I eventually get dressed. They are akin to boots with fuss free lines and a small heel. They also come in useful for what passes for a summer here.
But now? Now I have had to buy slippers and I am struggling to come to terms with this. The reasons being that my feet get cold plus I have had my cream carpets cleaned recently. Oh woe is me. I tried to buy the boot type but had no luck in that department so ended up with a pair of beige fluffy ones with bows on. The bows were cut off immediately!
Now I slop around in beige slippers when not going out - all I need are the rocking chair, parrot and shawl to complete the picture, but please say nothing if I answer the door in beige slippers as at least my feet are warm.
