I have missed a few weeks of this meme ~ mainly through running out of time and a lack of inspiration.
This week’s theme, by Sandra, asks us about a favourite piece of clothing. I have a few standbys in the cupboard and I bought a pretty little top the other day that I wasn’t too sure about but when I put it on I felt a million bucks. Despite the different style, it suited me and I think it will get a lot of wear over the summer {although I haven’t had a chance to photograph it yet}.
But my absolute standby is these ~ my RM Williams boots. I have had them for … um .. 16 years. In fact, this isn’t the first time they have been featured, I also wrote about them here.
Not that I ride or do anything remotely rural at this time, it’s just that they are so comfortable, so easy, go so well with jeans. A friend actually suggested I should consider getting a new pair because mine were looking a tad tattered. Nope, another good polish and I should get at least another 16 years out of them.

I wear my RM’s every day to work (and most days on weekends/after work either on the farm or riding my horse). I have my dress pair and my riding pair. They are my wardrobe staple, so comfy, so durable, so practical and so Australian. Love my RM’s.

Love the picture, very rural. Keep wearing them till they literally fall off your feet, I know I would.

I am a HUGE fan of the RM’s, being the proud owner of two pairs myself. I think yours look very beautiful with all that wear. I love the ones they show on the box that they’re sold in — that pair is something like 40 years old! You have a long way yet…and you’re not even mustering!

I have a pair of RMs too, and have actually had mine resoled, and the second soles were better. I wear them day in, day out in winter.
