I saw these shoes at the Ugg Australia store in Chicago and about died. (I'm sure you're wondering what I'm doing even walking into a shop that sells those Uggly furry boots sorority girls wear to class with shorts, but rest assured, these were in the window and caught my eye... I swear.)
I tried 'em on and it was love, let me tell you. But I didn't love the pricetag: $140. "But I'm on vacation!" I told myself, "I can swing it!"
Well, those $140 shoes were going to end up costing me an extra fifty bucks since I'd have to check my luggage if I tried to cram those into my little carry-on suitcase (with all the other stuff I bought), so I passed.
Then, like any normal girl, I stalked the shoes online for a few weeks, wishing for a sale.
Well, wish granted! ... sort of.
This week, I wandered into a Payless Shoes... and lo and behold!
$13.99.
I repeat, $13.99.
Thank you fashion gods for smiling upon me. And thanks to the three gals at work who drooled over my new shoes... more than enough proof that a great bargain beats a splurge any day (or at least 90% of the time).
