The first ones came from a trade shop in SLC called Pibbs Exchange. I haven't been having much luck with them for years, as I would bring in clothes to trade and they wouldn't take any of my, awesome mind you, crap. This time they took the full bag of my clothes and I was technically walking with $90 in credit.
If you know me, I never walk with credit, I spend it all in the store immediately. I found these curiosities there. I couldn't decide if I liked them or not, but then finally my self-consensus was yes. The shoes were $10.00 and they were from Europe and the brand simply said "B" I came to find out those are shoes in the $200-300 range. SICK SCORE BRO. Ugh. I did not just type that.
Here they are to make up for me just typing that:
Next, I was innocuously browsing the Anthropologie site, when the sandals of my toe's dreams popped up. I salivated and whispered, "I neeeeed these." The hitch? they were $118 unreasonable dollars. I have NEVER paid that much for SANDALS in this increasingly older life of mine. But I NEEDED them. I hadn't seen them in real life yet, so I decided I would go to the store and look at them and be realistic that they were not that beautiful. But they were. And they were perfect. And they make my feet look dainty and springy. And I have been saving my money so why not, I told myself, why not. And I totally spent that buttload of money on these sandals. And I don't regret it because I love them. I love that they came with a dustcover that I will never use, and I love that I have probably already scuffed them because I am incapable of having nice things. Regardless, they are a beautiful black leather, they zip up the back, and they are blessedly comfortable.
After that splurge, I vowed that I did not need the loafers, Doc Martens, short heels, and Converse that I was eying. I was fine. Doing well. Then I woke up this wonderfully warm day and decided it was time to color my hair, probably because I couldn't afford a haircut after a giant sandal purchase, and I figured this would make it look refreshed. I went to Got Beauty, who should be called Got Bounty, given their vast selection of everything I love, and was in blackout shopping mode the second I saw that all of their shoes were 50% off. I found a nice pair of brown leather wedge shoes by Seychelles. If you have never gotten a pair of these shoes do it and do it now. They have heels, flats, wedges, and every single one of them is filled with a cloud of heaven that makes them pure and utter comfort. These $70 shoes cost me $35 today and in a blind drunke shopping frenzy I purchased a pair. Feast your eyes upon THESE!
That's all on shoes, I still have some serious catching up to do that will include my recent gardening fetish and a stumble upon second-hand score store.
You totally need to go to a DSW to rape it. I went there a few nights ago to replace my "black work shoes" which are always hard to replace... 1. must be black for black pants days. 2. must be comfortable since I wear them at my part time job too. 3. Must not look like orthotics.
ReplyDeleteThis is difficult because I have bunion-feet which is as awesome as it sounds.
The DSW gods bestowed upon me a pricey pair of Anne Klein's for $44 and they felt like they were molded from my foot. (And I see Seychelles there all the time!) You should just give me your size and I can do some pillaging for you in the form of picture text messages.
Done and dooone! We have a DSW but it is kind of out there, (by out there I mean a whoooole 25 minute drive haha) so I don't go very much. Definitely send me pictures of the Seychelles you find, they seriously are the most comfy heel type shoes ever. And that way Terrence can smack me for buying more.
