Pirate Battle on the Delaware

Yarrrr, mateys! Next Monday is Talk Like a Pirate Day. Fortunately for us, this coincides with the Philadelphia Seaport Festival. And the most awesome of all the festival events? A pirate battle. On the Delaware River. By two tall ships. And you can buy tickets to be on the tall ships while they battle. AWESOME!! Oh, and they encourage you to come on board in costume! Don’t disappoint me, girls!

 
I have adored these boots for years. Why? Because they come with three ribbons you can lace in the sides: black, red, and purple. Also featuring a four-inch heel and foldover cuff, you can get these beauties for $50 from BuyCostumes.

  For the gypsy pirate in you! The fabulous boots have a 3.75-inch heel, patchwork fabrics, killer buckles, and straps all over the place. Yours for $80 from Babygirl Boutique.

  A flat so you don’t slip overboard! And look at the skull and crossbones print on the inside! Perfect. Find them at Costumes 4 Less for just over $36.

  The Pirate by Matisse are over-the-knee, one-inch high, black leather fabulousity. This is a pair of seriously take-charge boots! Pick up yours for $110 from 6pm.

  Seduce those salty sea dogs in these Red and White Striped Wench Shoes. They have a four-inch heel and strap of black patent leather, and a big gold buckle. Find them most cheaply at Costume Craze for about $22.
  You could be captain in these! Faux leather and microfiber, black and gold, buckles, trim, straps, and embossing—all on a 4.5-inch heel. Available in sizes 8, 9, and 10 from Sears for about $78.

Pirate battle this Sunday at noon—be there or walk the plank! Learn more and get your tickets from the Independence Seaport Museum.
