AHHHH!!!!!
I FOUND MY SHOES!!!!
Adam and I were out in San Diego to shoot a wedding and we had a spare bit the day before to go shopping and we went to the Fashion Valley Mall (can we say, wow?) that had pretty much every store you can imagine. Well, as we know KC has many more stores than Omaha, however they lack a Bloomingdales. And I'm a fan of them. Anywho we went to walk through them, not planning on actually buying anything, and on our way back out we passed by the shoes. I wasn't looking really, just scanning, the way you do when you walk by on your way by something. I was scanning and on their displays out by the aisle this shoe jumped out on me and I literally did a double take right there. Adam kept walking, and I went up to these shoes and stared. They were THE wedding shoes from my dreams.
It was at that moment that I knew that I was getting those shoes. I really didnt care about the price. I hadnt tried them on or really done anything with them. I picked them up (they were perfect, again) and to make things even better, they were Betsey Johnson. One of my favorite designers.
You want to know the best thing? I had a quick moment of rationalization (ok so it was Adam, sighing that we werent leaving the store yet while I was oggling over these shoes) and pulled out my Blackberry and pulled up trusty Amazon to see the running price, since I can usually get a pretty accurate price through them to make sure I couldnt find them cheaper online. Well, Amazon quoted me a price almost twice as much...a mistake, I thought. So I went to Ebay...used these shoes were still going for about the same price that Bloomingdales wanted new. I knew they were on sale but WOW. As the sales person went to find my size, he mentioned their other sale (ANOTHER sale?!) how you can take an additional 20% off of the sale price on the shoes if you bought a second pair. Any shoe. Hmm...well I needed a pair of tennis shoes anyway, so I found a pair of cute sketchers that came to be insanely cheap as well, and then my dream shoes were so cheap it was insane.
They came home in the bag. I am in love.
AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy.
