WWYD? Bday gift

MH offered me a choice of two things I have been wanting for my bday gift.

#1 - new boots

I actually wanted a pair of riding boots, but I got those knockoff Frye boots at Target, so I don't need those AND riding boots. What I really need is a classy pair of plain black knee-high boots that I can wear with skirts and dresses to work. These would get a lot of use.

#2 - black leather motorcycle jacket

I have been COVETING this black leather motorcycle jacket. I want it so bad. I try it on every time I go in the store, and it fits like a glove. MH thinks it is a novelty item and that I won't wear it very often. There is a possibility that this is true, but I don't know. I just love it, it is so much fun.

 

So, WWYD? Semi-boring boots that you would probably get a lot of use out of? Or fun jacket that you might not get a lot of use out of?

  • I am the opposite - boots! We live in California, forchristssake! How much use are you going to get out of that jacket?

  • I say go for the fun jacket!!  You can get boots anytime as they come in tons of styles and price ranges.  It's your birthday, so splurge a little! 
  • I say have him buy you the fun jacket, and then you can get yourself the boots for your birthday :)
  • I'm practical and boring, so I would get the boots.

    Girrrrrrl, I'm not from MI, I'm from here. When it's 50 degrees outside I am wearing every article of clothing in my closet and freezing my ass off.

  • You know what, now that I think more about it, I think you should go with the jacket.  It does get a little chilly in the evenings starting late fall, so you'll get a good couple of months of wear out of it before you have to retire it for the spring/summer.  And I've seen some super cute motorcycle style jackets lately in magazines.  It wouldn't go on me bc I am not that fashionable but you could totally rock it.

    You can always get boring boots anytime.

    Touche...actually, just have him buy whatever is the more expensive of the two!

  • I say jacket since its not something you'd buy yourself (or haven't yet anyway). Its your birthday, go for the fun, less practical item!!
  • I say the jacket. It's your birthday and you should go for the most impractical gift, especially if it's from your H.

  • Jacket for sure. You can find boots anytime, but a perfect jacket you absolutely LOVE is hard to come by. Especially with your long limbs!! JACKET!!
