I hit a new record. I’m not sure if I should be embarrassed or proud. Sadly, I actually don’t know the old record–maybe 4. But I do know that 10 is way past any previous record.
Yes–I purchased 10 pairs of shoes at one time. And I did in little less than half an hour. Should I be embarrassed? Or proud? Here’s the part I am without question proud of… spent with tax $306. (Thank you DSW of Coral Springs, Florida) Yes, 10 pairs of shoes for about $30 a pair and I “needed” them. One pair was actually $7, to me that’s like DSW was giving them to me—how could I not scoop up the bargain?!?
Let me explain, I hate to admit it, but I don’t wear 5-inch CFM pumps 24/7. But that will be our secret. Don’t tell anyone. Real life happens, driving, flying, running errands… And I work. Skyscraper heels are not conducive to most of real life. I needed to replace some of my more practical kicks. I had been looking for months to replace some very tired looking shoes; problem is I have an aversion to spending big money on serviceable, boring shoes. I shutter at filtering away the shoes budget on anything that is not exceptional and beautiful, granted there are some cute ballet flats out there, but they will never hold the same allure to me as a pair of stilettoes.
However, good shoe karma hit me square on the head or maybe heel is better. Every pair fit and was on sale, 50%-80% off. The universe sent me a windfall of shoes. So—I bought them. Thank goodness I had packed light and they were all flats (except for one pair—please its still me) Otherwise it would have been another challenge to get them all home. But serendipity played a part –it was a grand shoe plan—and I was just doing my part—providing a home for these previously homeless shoes. So if the shoes fits, you need them and they are on sale—buy them. In my case, buy them all.
Happy Shopping.
