Denim mini skirt:  $2.24 @ Smart Set (RSP:  $30+)
Bewild - cream flats:  $2.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $40+)

I never thought I'd buy something from Smart Set.  Their clothing, as well as their pricing, just aren't my style most of the time.

Imagine my surprise when I found this skirt today!  It was marked $2.99 with an extra 25% off, I just couldn't resist.

The flats are too small for me, so I picked them up for my mom.  It just seemed insane to leave them behind at that price.

Rinaldi - black boots:  $12.50 (RSP:  $74.99)

 Vianni collection -  brown crocodile skin boots:  $12.50 (RSP:  $129.99)

Both @ Shoe Warehouse.

I wasn't sure if I should get them since they weren't leather and they were more than I like to pay for boots.  Plus, I bought one in the exact same style for $7.50 a while back!

I ended up getting the black one since it was surprisingly comfortable, and the material didn't look cheap.

It was harder deciding on the crocodile skin ones since I thought they would be more (luckily it scanned in lower).   Since I coveted them for over a year, I decided I would just splurge.

This is the first time I've seen  them in this size since the sale so I doubt I would have found them again.

I love the shiny gold bottoms!  That's another reason I wanted them so much.  The picture also showcases the gorgeous lace up detailing at the back:

 

Funnily enough, these two boots are almost exactly the same style, except in different materials.  The crocodile ones are about half an inch higher though.

Vianni Collection - brown suede over the knee boots:  $5 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $189.95)

I bought two!  I'm planning on making one pair thigh high length and making the other ones studded booties.

I'm pretty annoyed.  For some reason, workers there don't update the prices!  These were still marked at $40 but I recognized the name from the ones I bought before.  On a whim I checked the price-I'm glad I did!

They were $5 each, which I suspected since most of their older stock seems to have gone down to that price.  Now I just wonder what else I'm missing!

There are some other ones that are still the same price as last year, but it seems pretty annoying to bring everything up there to check.  At least I managed to take advantage of this promotion:



Cargo Cosmetics - Green goddess kit (RSP:  $36)

It was free with a $75 gift card purchase! I thought I might as well since the card doesn't really expire.  It has some penalties if there's still a balance in 16 months, but I'll probably use it by then...it's already down to $60 now :P.

Bewild - brown boots:  $5 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $69.95+)

Wow, I was starting to think I would never buy anything from Shoe Warehouse again!  Not really, but it sure has been a while.

I was so happy to find these today-I wanted them when they were $7.50 during the half off sale, but I could never find them in my preferred size.

Not only were they my size today-they were even cheaper then before!  I couldn't snatch them up quick enough, I didn't even other trying them on.  I already tried on the size 39's and even those were walkable, so I knew these would be fine.

They're not real suede, but I love how they look!  I probably wouldn't ever pass up $5 boots that fit me and look this good.  Love the fur detailing!

Naughty Monkey - pony hair slingbacks:  $3 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $60+)
BCBGirls - pink/white pumps with flower detail:  $3 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $60+)

3 seems to be the theme for today.  I was really surprised to see these today-I've never seen shoes this cheap at that store!

Even funnier, they were both shoes that I was considering when they were $5.  I passed on them then, but couldn't restrain myself at this price.

I really like the BCBGirls shoes, but they are way too big for me.  I'm hoping I can make them work by putting some padding in them.

Black footless tights with red hearts:  $1 @ Claire's (RSP:  $9.75)
Grey footless tights:  $1 @ Claire's (RSP:  $9.75)
Red studded gloves:  $1 @ Claire's (RSP:  $9.75)
Black studded/gemmed gloves:  $1 @ Claire's (RSP:  $10.75)
Black studded gloves:  $1 @ Claire's (RSP:  $10.75)
Black lace up gloves:  $1 @ Claire's (RSP:  $9.75)
Vinyl lips pouch:  $1 @ Claire's (RSP:  $9.75)
Silver sequin manicure set:  $1 @ Claire's (RSP:  $8.50)
Silver/clear flower ring:  $1 @ Claire's (RSP:  $10.75)
Lucite zipper bangle:  $1 @ Claire's (RSP:  $9.75)

That's right, another ten for ten!  I'm really glad I went to this one-almost half the store was on sale!  I was really surprised to see that, as most of the other stores I visited were pretty cleared out.

There were two pairs of Alice in Wonderland gloves I was hoping I could buy, but sadly, they were no longer there.  At least there were some other ones that weren't there previously.

I really love the jewelry this time!  The ring is the same as the coral one I bought a while back, but I prefer this one.  Clear things edged in silver just have such a cool futuristic look to them. 

I just found the bracelet so neat!  It's pretty much a zipper encased in lucite, except professionally executed.  I actually ended up getting it free!

I didn't notice until later that the cashier didn't ring it in.  I really didn't think about it, since I thought the prices automatically changed when the correct number was reached.

Joy & Peace - Planet 23 - Burnished brown mid calf boots:  $5 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $89.95)

I passed these up the last time I went here, but I felt compelled to buy them today.  Probably because the last couple of visits have been disappointing...the stock hasn't changed much, and the pricing hasn't been as good.

Since they were so cheap, I ended up picking them up.  I plan on giving them to a friend, since she was checking them out last time.

Avon - leaf candle holder:  10 for $1 (!) @ Liquidation World (RSP:  $5+ each)
Burnished brown studded bag:  $5 @ Icing by Claire's (RSP:  $43.50)
Roberto Vianni - black suede boots:  $5 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $189.95)

I see now that I never blogged about it, but a while ago I bought two Avon items for a dollar from Liquidation World - the candle holder above and a LED flower bouquet.

I actually decided I wanted to get more, but the sale was over by that time.

I was biding my time, waiting for it to come back again...when I suddenly came upon the 10 for $1 sign today!  I thought it would just be for the cheaper items, so imagine my surprise when the worker assured me those were included as well.

I bought 3 of the votive holders above, 2 more LED bouquets, and 5 golden butterfly wall mounted votive holders.   I honestly wonder if they made any money on this sale!

I actually wanted to buy the butterfly holders a while ago, but again, the sale was over.  I would also need a lot of them, since I planned to cover the length of at least one with them.

Anyhow, now I don't think 5 is enough.  10 probably would have been, but the boxes take up so much room, and I don't really have the space...maybe I'll go back for more some other time.

I couldn't carry out my plan until I had my own place, which doesn't seem like it'll happen in the foreseeable future.

Still, when it does, I'd like to have one room with these mounts furnished across the walls.  They would look amazing with candles lit in place!

I wasn't sure about the purse.   I don't really like purses that big, but I am a fan of all of the studs and compartments.

Since I don't have any purses of that size in that colour, it came home with me today.  Love that it's still on the website.  Also bought my mom a cute little purse since she came with me.

 

Another bout of deja vu-these boots came home with me again.

For $5, I just couldn't help it!  They're so comfortable and such great quality.  I've worn my other ones so much, the heels are getting a bit scuffed..so I thought I might as well have a back up pair.  I'm thinking of converting them to thigh highs if I find the appropriate material.

Joy & Peace - Claudia-07 - clear heeled platform pumps:  $5 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $69.95)
Can opener:  $1.25 @ Dollarama

Went shopping to a far away mall with a friend today.  The one with the cheap Ardene...bought so much stuff there, it deserves its own post!

Didn't think I'd buy anything from Shoe Warehouse.  It's been pretty picked over from the previous half off sales...surprisingly enough, it's back on!

I just had to have the above when I saw them!  When my friend pointed them out to me, I couldn't contain my excitement.  I love everything about them from the clear platforms to the polka dots on the inside.  There's even a textured metal rod inside the heel!

They were a size 8 though, so I didn't think they would fit.  I tried them on, and amazingly, they fit perfectly!  A bow on top would complete these shoes, so I'll be making those once I have some free time.

Can opener's a stocking stuffer for my mom.  It's one of those ones that make the edges smooth, so let's see how that goes.

Rocket dog - london town - white polka dot canvas shoes:  $5 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $69.95)
Roberto Vianni - pink flats:  $5 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $49.95)
Rinaldi - White pointy kitten heels:  $12.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $64.99)

I normally don't care for these kind of shoes, but I needed some lower heels for professional use.  At least one pair!  That's why I ended up buying the Rinaldi shoes, even though I normally wouldn't pay that much.  I've gotten better shoes for cheaper, but what can I say...I needed them.

I don't know if they're actually professional looking enough, but they'll do for now.  Kitten heels, leather upper, ridiculously comfortable, and just my size...I had to get them.  I actually thought they were pretty cute.  Rinaldi shoes are normally pretty cheap quality, but these ones are surprisingly nice. 

There were nearly identical shoes in leopard print for $5 that I really wanted to get, but they ended up being a little too small.  I'm really hoping I'll find one a half size bigger later on.

I actually did a while back, and I'm really kicking myself for not getting them back then.  The price was marked higher, and I really didn't care for the style back then.  I'm only starting to warm up to really pointy shoes.

The other ones are just really cute and comfortable.  Not as comfortable as runners, but I'm sure they'll come in handy sometime.  I don't think I would have paid any more for them, and I probably won't be adding any similar shoes to my closet.

I actually love the pink ones!  They remind me of ballet shoes.  My mom actually bought a pair a month ago, and I'd been lusting after hers ever since.  I pounced on these when I saw them in my size!

I don't normally buy flats because most are pretty cheap quality, and uncomfortable to boot.  This one wasn't entirely flat, and the quality was good so it came home with me.

Betseyville - Lucky - vinyl platform rain boots:  $5 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $149.95)

I really wasn't sure whether to buy this or not. 

The other one was a no brainer due to the awesome print-this one however, is a bit more generic.  I already have boots that are somewhat similar (and a lot more comfortable)

In the end, I bought them because I wanted another box (that box). 

Well, that wasn't the reason, but it was a reason.  For the price I paid, I'm sure I could make the money back easily if I decided to get rid of them!

Roberto Vianni - black studded scarf:  $1 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $19.95)
Roberto Vianni - white pvc chain purse:  $2.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $10+)
Super Girl tank top:  $1 @ Liquidation World (RSP:  $6+)
Nail buffer/file set:  $.88 @ Liquidation World (RSP:  $3)
Essie nail polishes - blanc - vanity fairest:  $1 each @ Trade Secret (RSP:  $10)

Decided to go to Coquitlam today, primarily to get the nail polish above.  That turned out to be disappointing as there were barely any shades left.  Still, I was happy since I'd been looking for those particular shades for a long time.

Since I was in the area, I decided to go to my old standbys.  For some reason Shoe Warehouse is having another half off sale, but their stock hasn't changed much.

I never noticed how cheap their accessories were!  The scarf is pretty cheap quality, I'm really surprised anyone thought it was worth $20.  I could make it myself easily, but I thought the buck was worth saving myself the trouble.

I really like the purse, but it's quite marked up.  I'm hoping I can get some of them off, but if not, I still won't mind that much.  I don't think they're that noticeable from far away.  In any case, I definitely wouldn't have paid more for it in that condition.

The tank top was a medium, and there's no dressing room in that chain of stores.  I figured I would risk it for a buck.  It'll be an easy fix if it's too big.

Betseyville - Lucky - vinyl platform rain boots:  $5 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $149.95)
Extrem - Casciano - purple suede boots:  $5 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $229.95)

Ended up visiting 7 Shoe Warehouses today.  My plan was to go to all of the ones I could get to via public transit-there were actually two more I wanted to go to, but I ended up running out of time.

It ended up being pretty disappointing, slim pickings all around.  Next time I'll attempt this earlier in the sale.

I saw the above at the first two Shoe Warehouses I went to.  There were actually two more boots I wanted to buy, but I didn't want to carry them around-since there were about ten left (in total for both), I didn't think it would be a problem.

When I went back a few hours later, I was horrified to see them completely cleared out-I ended up finding one pair stashed away somewhere.

I thought they had just moved them, but it turns out they were all sold!  It was mind boggling.

Even though they had one color left in the size I prefer, since I saw they had an even bigger size, I didn't want to settle for that one.

I didn't end up seeing them anywhere else (as I thought might happen) so I ended up going back the next day.  Sadly, they were gone.  Oh well, lesson learned. 

I'll admit I ended up going back for the purple boots to lesson the pain of the above. They're my exact shoe size, so they're pretty uncomfortable.

They were just such great quality though (leather, made in Italy) and I don't have any boots in that color, I just had to have them. 

Roberto Vianni - black peep toe slingbacks:  $5 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $69.95)
Vianni Collection - black creased leather boots:  $7.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $229.95)

Turns out my solemate had a partner!  I was beyond happy when I saw them today-only one pair, in the exact size I prefer!

I hadn't seen them anywhere else, but they were still marked at $25.  I knew they could be $15 elsewhere, but I didn't know if they would be available anywhere else.

So I took the plunge and bought them anyway.  They ended up being the right price, so I got them for the same price as the other one.  Hooray!

The other ones are the same style as the one I bought yesterday, but that purchase is of course overshadowed by the one above!

Rinaldi - white lace up boots:  $7.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $70+)

Roberto Vianni - peep toe lace up slingbacks:  $5 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $69.95)

Upon learning that the half off sale had commenced, I just had to go back to this location and try my luck.

Most of the ones I wanted were still available-including the white boots above.  They're in pretty tried on condition, but hopefully they'll look better after a wipe down.

I remember seeing the slingbacks for $25 at the beginning of my shoe warehouse revival-I'm glad I waited until now to get them!

BeWild - brown fringe lace up boots:  $7.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $70+)

BeWild - black fringe lace up boots:  $7.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $70+)

I'm deliriously happy that I waited until now to get these boots.  The brown ones are pretty ubiquitous, but this was the first time I've encountered their raven counterparts.

After this fiasco, I decided to hold out for size 10's whenever possible.  The biggest size I could find thus far was a 9, so I was starting to think that was the largest one available in this style.

Capa de Ozono - greta - brown leather wedge boots w/flower accents:  $5 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $100+)

Roberto Vianni - brown leather boots:  $5 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $189.95)

These were some other boots on my list. I didn't think much of the first pair the first time around, but they ended up growing on me.  I thought the flower detailing was quaint and cute.

The second pair was the one I mentioned here-the nice, though somewhat plain ones.  Both of them were steals since they were made out of leather.

These boots were still there, so I kind of wish I waited.

I'm glad I bought the Sam Edelman boots when I did though, since other pair was long gone.

I actually resolved myself to buying that second pair if they were still here today.  I would have cut the fringes off of that one.  Oh well, c'est la vie!

BeWild - black suede lace up boots:  $7.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $70+)

BeWild - brown suede lace up boots:  $7.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $70+)

BeWild - biege suede lace up boots:  $7.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $70+)

I actually came back for these ones.  It took me a painfully long time to decide, since it was the same kind of deal as the BeWild boots above.

I had looked all over, and could only find these boots in size 9-since these were basically built like runners, I resigned myself to defeat here.

At first it was only the black pair (since I hadn't seen that color elsewhere), but then the other two followed suit.  I really hope I don't see some 10's down the road.

They are all the same style, just different colours.

When I first saw them back in January they were $25, so I'm pretty happy that I could get 3 of them for even less than that now! 

They're really nice quality-probably the best I've seen from this brand so far.

Genuine leather, fully lined with fur on the inside-really warm and comfortable.  I'm also exceedingly partial to the pompoms, and lace up boots are my preference.

I just wonder if they'll go down anymore.  I've pretty much seen this boot at every location I've visited, so they might be around for a while.

I also saw these boots in red for $5.  I thought the cream ones were fabulous, but they struck me as somewhat ugly looking in red.

It was an incredibly unflattering, pinkish red-each pair also had a mysterious stain on the same side, which made it even easier to pass up.

Also passed on these Rinaldi boots in black, two other pairs of leather boots, and three other boots.  See, I can restrain myself a little!

Admittedly, I would have bought one of those boots if they were size 10's.

It was such a shame...they were low heeled and had such a cute design-also remarkably uncomfortable considering they were supposedly bigger than my actual size.

BeWild - black patent boots w/buckle detail:  $7.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $70+)

Finally, final clearance time!  All clearanced items are now half off.

I saw these boots back when they were $25...I wanted them then, but I'm really glad I waited. 

I thought they would work out to $12.50-imagine my delight when they were marked down once again when I arrived!

I still lament this purchase though-two more pairs there, I definitely could have gotten them for $5 instead.

Oh well.  The rest of this week will be filled with more Shoe Warehouse trips! 

I hope there'll still be something left.  The first two I went to today were pretty cleared out, compared to the selection from a week ago.

I'm extremely happy that I ended up buying these boots when I did-especially the cognac boots. 

I'm pretty sure the timing was a mistake, since the sale was 'over' when I went back a few days later. 

They had about 4 pairs the last time I checked, but none to be found when I went today.  I would have been pretty upset if I couldn't get them, they're my favourite pair so far!

Sam Edelman - Uri - camel - tan suede over the knee boot:  $7.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $268.95)
Roberto Vianni - brown leather boots with button detail:   $7.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $179.95)

Today was a very sobering experience.  I was confronted with something I've never experienced before-a literal windfall of boots in my size and preferred price range!

There were seriously 15 pairs of boots that I would probably have snatched up if I found them at different times.  Due to the copious amount of boots I've gotten of late, I decided it was time to be more judicial with my boot purchases from now on.

In the end, I just walked away with the above two.  Just had to go for the Uri boots again, the quality is amazing and the style isn't common.  Also, I kind of like knowing I own something that Mischa Barton and other 'celebrities' own. 

The second ones aren't that exceptional overall, but I liked the quality.  Leather, simple design, somewhat stylish, unusual heel I don't have yet (a bit tapered in the middle), nice, classy, and comfortable on.

The rest were easy to pass up because they were either uncomfortable, nothing special design wise, made of cheap feeling material, or just not made of leather.

I actually did pass up a pair of brown leather boots that I thought were quite nice, but there were pretty plain.  They were comfortable and looked good though, so I might go back once their half off sale starts.

Now that my closet is pretty much hemorrhaging boots, I'll probably only be buying leather boots that are significantly different from the pairs I already have.

Though....I might still be taking home some of the aforementioned rejects when they're half off! 

The stylish, not so comfortable ones.  At the very least, I would enjoy looking at them, and wearing them for short periods of time!

Vianni Collection - brown suede boots:  $7.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $189.95)
Vianni Collection - black suede boots:  $7.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $189.95)

I was really busy today!

The above are the same, just in different colours.  Two different sizes too.  I would have preferred a size smaller for the black ones, but that was all they had.

Now I wish I bought the brown ones a size bigger!  I found them in that size at another Shoe Warehouse I went to....still might get them.

The heels are only about an inch, so the boots are pretty comfortable.  Especially since they're larger than my actual size.

Genuine suede too, so they were a total steal.

Rinaldi - dark burgundy boots:  $7.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $69.95)
Steve Madden - Sergeant - black platform boots:   $7.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $159.95)

I love Steve Madden!  I snatched these up the moment I saw them.  I would prefer if they weren't made of nylon (as I prefer leather like materials), but I'm a sucker for lace up boots.

The other ones I just bought to round out my purchases.  Now I kind of regret it (more in the next post), since the quality really isn't that great.  Pretty cheap feeling pvc (not the worst I've seen), but I thought it looked nice enough on.

Sam Edelman - Uri - roasted chestnut - brown suede over the knee boot:  $5 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $268.95)

Vianni Collection - black leather/nylon boots:  $5 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $229.95)

Vianni Collection - cognac creased leather boots:  $7.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $229.95)

I had such a crappy day today-little did I know how much better it would get that night!

I decided to go to this one on a whim-I actually went to the mall for an entirely different reason.  Well, turns out the timing was right!

They had just marked the above down yesterday, while the new half off sale commenced today!  I doubt these would have been left if I came any later.

They actually weren't even on the shelves yet!  I almost missed them, they were stacked in a corner on one of the sides. 

The Sam Edelman boots were actually still on the top shelves-I had to ask a sales associate to bring them down.

They're probably the best quality boots I have so far-I was really impressed by them!  The insoles are cushioned to a pretty insane degree, and there are just a lot of nice little details I don't see in many other brands.  Genuine leather, a total steal at $5!  

Definitely my best deal so far.  Pretty odd sizing though-9.5.  Haven't seen that around very often, and currently my only one so far.

The second one is the same as the one I bought previously.  I bought them again because these were slightly bigger-40, while the first ones were 39.

The first ones were comfortable, but these ones were even moreso!  For only $5, I just couldn't pass them up.  

Then, the last boots...those are the most beautiful boots I've ever seen!

When I first saw them, they were $50.  Genuine leather and gorgeous, I was almost tempted to pay that price...but decided that I'd wait until they were $25 or so.

Well, I never saw them go down to $25.  I didn't see them for a long time, so I thought someone else had already snatched them up.  Imagine my surprise (and delight) today when I saw them for $15, with no markdowns in between!  

That would have been enough of a steal, but $7.50 was just unfathomable.  My dream shoes for that cheap!  I had my choice out of a few sizes, so I ended up getting the biggest one (41).

Realllly comfortable, and they only had one at that size. A couple of 39's too, which I probably would have settled for if my fortune wasn't as good today.

I'm almost tempted to go back and buy a 'back up' pair, but I probably won't.  Probably. 

Chinese Laundry - Grey flower tote:  $12.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $79.95)
Roberto Vianni - leopard print bow shaped clutch:  $12.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $39.95)
Silver bracelet/ring/earring set:  $1 @ EFADS
Gold bracelet/ring/earring set:  $1 @ EFADS

The buy one get one half off sale extended to the purses-I've lusted after the Chinese Laundry purse for a while, but didn't want to pay $20 for it.

I really loved the leopard print purse, but it's the kind of purse I would normally only spend $5 on.  It was still on my mind after a couple of days, so I finally decided to go back and get it.

The bracelets I bought on a whim.  They have cut heart cutouts throughout-I do like them, but I probably wouldn't have bought them if they didn't come with so many extras.

Those items would normally be sold separately, so I was really surprised to see them packaged together like this. 

Roberto Vianni - wedge snow boats:  $7.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $129.95)

Vianni Collection - over knee suede boots:  $7.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $189.95)

 Sigh...I have buyer's remorse on this round.  One of the heels on the suede boots needs to be repaired-it seems like an easy fix, but that's not the problem.

The problem is, the heels are 5-6 inches tall!  I'm pretty sure I couldn't walk in them very long.  I suppose I just bought them to look at, or wear around the house for short periods of times.

As for the other pair...I thought they were fine at first, but they started pinching my feet after a while.  I should have tried them on longer.  I only noticed when I wore them again at home.  

I probably won't be wearing them either, and I can't return them, since everything is final sale.  

The worst part is, I found the same pair in size 10 at the next one I went to!  That one was crazy comfortable, but since I already had the other one (and I thought they were fine), I left them.  

If I realized they were uncomfortable sooner, I would have bought the bigger pair and tried to sell the smaller one.  

That one is really far away from me and I'm not going to be going back.  Lesson learned, I guess.

Roberto Vianni - white leather boots:  $7.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $189.95)

Roberto Vianni - black patent leather boots:  $7.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $199.95)

 

These aren't the best looking boots, but they're both really comfortable.  Also my preferred boot size, 10.  From now on I don't think I'll bother getting any boots that are smaller than that.

Why so much junk today?  It's my birthday!  Happy birthday to me. 

Vianni Collection - pewter peep toe lace up boots:  $7.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $149.95)

Vianni Collection - bronze peep toe lace up boots:  $7.50 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $149.95)

After yesterday, I just knew that they had to be doing massive markdowns at the other stores.  I went to the other closest one to me today and confirmed that to be true.

The excruciatingly annoying thing is, the boots I bought previously were clearanced to $10-I'm sure the other pair would have been too, so I could have saved myself $15 if I only waited three weeks!

I'm totally kicking myself, but I suppose it's a lesson learned.  Put a leash on myself when the impulse hits me like that.
