From: Talbots (outlet)
Purchased: March 19, 2011
Cost: $23
Uh. Yeah. So. Listen, I've been really, really good lately. I've stayed out of stores even during the end of winter clearance sales. I've studiously avoided trying on shoes. I've stalked but not purchased. I have been frugal. And, well, we all have our breaking points, and mine came with the "extra 10% off clearance prices at the outlet" e-mail. Saturday morning Rich took the kids to E's dance class and I escaped to the Talbots Clearance store. The day before, I had written about discarding a perfectly good pair of black suede pumps because they were too tight, and so I had in my head how difficult it was for me to find plain, simple black shoes at a cheap price and how I never quite have the right plain, simple black pump. And so when I saw these on the clearance rack, I grabbed them. And they also had them in grey suede, which I was of course more drawn to, but I thought, no, if I get these I am getting them in black because that is practical and I could actually use them and although no one with over 180 pairs of shoes needs any more shoes, you could almost make the argument that I needed these. Ok, that's stretch, but still - $23! (stay tuned tomorrow and the next day as I justify TWO MORE NEW PAIRS OF SHOES!)
I wore these out ot a party that same Saturday night and they are awesome! Very comfy.
Um, yes, you might remember that plain-ish black pumps started this whole shoe blogging thing. But these are different - they have a lower heel, and a pointy toe (instead of almond toe). Totally different!
Pair #4 for 2011. There is no hope for me.
Uh, I said I was going to do one shoe in one shoe out in 2011, so um, I'm counting the black suede ones I discarded last week against these! (shut up: my blog, my rules!)
Bottom line: keeper!
