drool

I've fallen in love with a pair of shoes.
:)
I've been looking for a new pair of shoes for work, because the ones I have now are falling apart, have a huge crack in the bottom of the sole. You can actually see the bottom of my foot, hehe. So, its time for a new pair of work shoes.
Do you know how difficult it is to find a good pair of shoes that are flat, black, mary jane style, or ballet style, that look good and don't have these stupid tassels or annoying decorations or pointy toes? Due to fashion at the moment, d-i-f-f-i-c-u-l-t!
And I browsed around the shops today, looking looking looking.
*ding*
Found a pair... Tried them on and they fit perfectly. Look good with my work clothes, very sweet looking, could wear them with jeans too.
But then I looked at the price tag....
WOWSERS! They cost a fortune!! Not $100, no, not $200, not $250, but $295!!
Spent about a minute trying to justify the price. "If I'm wearing them everyday it will be worth it in the end"; "There are no other shoes around"; "They are very cute...."; "I r-e-a-l-l-y like them" etc. etc.
Ah, but in the end, I put the shoes down. Picked up my wallet and walked out of the store. :*(
Very responsible of me, but I can't get them out of my head!
Aren't they adorable??! ;)

adorable - but what a rip off! sensible girl! custom made shoes would cost less, i think.

Yes, that anonymous. Made me feel bad for actually considering buying them!! I still want them... :/

kerstin said...

yeah, well, i'm sure we've all bought something overpriced because we loved it!
i know i have!!! hahahaa
Considering how long you wore your last shoes, most people probably would have bought 2 in that time anyhow. :)
besides, you could get hit by a bus tomorrow!
heheheee
