Looking through my winter wardrobe
I was lacking a pair of really good brown boots
I did have though a pair of light tan boots that I really liked
but didn't seem to wear as often as I might simply because
well, light tan isn't the boot I want to put on every day
so out came the implements
Good shoe brushes
and good polish
(I recently learned that you set the polish alight for a moment
which makes it turn liquid and solves the crumbly problem)
+
a little elbow grease
and my tan boots
were transformed to a beautiful pair of brown boots that
I have worn non stop
and didn't spend a cent on
I particularly like the way the brown polish caught
in the seams
