Grey lace up/buckle boots:  $9 @ Claire's (RSP:  $36.50)

It took me a really long time to decide on these.  I do like how they look, but they seem kind of plain and unfashionable.  Also, I've gotten way better shoes for even less than these cost!

In the end I relented since they were really comfortable.  I decided that they'd be a step up from the sneakers I normally wear when I don't feel like being too dressy.

I really never thought I'd ever buy shoes from Claire's.  Normally the material is kind of sub par, but these ones seemed to be up to standard.

I'll regret buying them if they're still around during redline season though-$4.50 for them would have been a steal.
