thevagabondexpressspent yesterday evening doing "pleather care" on my new (to me) corset (aka it's secondhand and old so the black vinyl or whatever started flaking and peeling so i covered it up with black duct tape so it doesn't get pleather scraps everywhere).
this morning was spent then finally doing boot care on the knee-highs i bought last weekend, before heading off to my introductory private investigator training. first i glued the screws for the buttons so they don't pop off at random (there's one that wants to keep doing it even with the glue on and i'm currently clamping it with my fingers) and then i switched out the laces the boots came with for ones that aren't as obnoxiously long. i taped some orthotics into them, and quickly discovered i had put them in the wrong shoes so i had to take them back out and put them in the right way 😂 they seem to be good now though. on to the second stage of breaking in: doing it with the insoles in them. once that one stubborn button is properly attached, it's off to the bank, come home to eat something real quick, and then on to my appointment! needless to say i am very glad to have spent yesterday sleeping.
