What boots it to repeat?

A year on from this post, and I still don’t have any brown boots.

So it is time to seize the day by the scruff of its neck, and buy some boots.

So do I buy the boots I liked last year and still like with the buttons*, or the boots in really lovely burnished tan with buckles?

I'll aim to keep them for at least five years. Hmm. Does that answer the question?

*Available locally for £150, not £185, or there would be no contest!

I know exactly what you mean. I find that if I don't buy something within a reasonable window of opportunity, I secretly don't want it that much - either I think it's too expensive, or it's not quite right and for that much money I want something that I'll fall in love with, or I actually want to fill that niche in my wardrobe with something slightly different.

My problem is that whilst I normally find this a very reliable indicator, there is also a smaller but significant subgroup of stuff I haven't done and later really regret. In this case, I honestly don't know/can't remember.
