Shoe Jackpot

I love shoes. I have many, many pairs of them. People find that funny, because I don’t wear them out. How could I possibly have a need for so many shoes? Just because I don’t walk in them, that doesn’t mean I can’t love them. I love shoes just as much as any ambulatory girl. They are a great way to enhance even the most boring ensemble.

The other day I stopped in a discount designer clothes shop to pass some time. Nothing in the store is over $10, because everything has some kind of flaw. Most of the clothes have a hole in them, so I moved on to the shoes. In my mind, I hit the jackpot. I pretty much only wear a certain style of Skechers when it comes to athletic shoes. Needless to say, I was thrilled to find a decent selection of them. I ended up with three pairs – white with sparkles, cream with sequins and one with just a fashionable brown design. I love sparkles and anything shiny, what can I say? And for two of the three pairs, the only flaw I could find was that they had mismatched sizes (one shoe is a 6, the other a 7). That doesn’t make a difference for me, since, afterall, I don’t walk in them. Ha. I have yet to figure out what the flaw is on the third pair that actually has matching sizes.

Aren’t they fabulous?

To some people flaws are worthless, to others they are absolutely perfect.

Oh, how I love shoes...

It has been awhile since I've posted and it's not because I haven't found any fabulous finds. It's because I'm practicing exercising something known as self-control. Maybe you've heard of it. It means I'm trying not to buy something that I don't really need and can live without, instead of buying it just because I want it. It's an interesting concept and is definitely an adult thing to do, that's for sure.

Before I truly starting practicing this notion of self-control, I came across a pretty amazing find. I stopped in Kohl's to find a super cute pair of Lauren Conrad shoes that I saw in a commercial and that were supposed to be on sale. Unfortunately, they didn't have them. I guess that ultimately was a good thing, because I didn't really need them, they probably would have been around $40 and they probably would not have been comfortable.

I decided to peruse the clearance shoes and oh boy was I delighted to find a pair of Candie's shoes I've been drooling over for months. Usually when I find something on clearance that I want, it's not in my size, and I figured that would be the case, especially since they only had one pair. It was my lucky day! The one pair happened to be my size. And, the best part was, that these shoes that were normally over $30 were just $7. Score!

Check them out... aren't they just uber cute?!

Stay tuned for another blog about another amazing shoe find. :)
