When the Shoe Fits......

Once in awhile, the shoe gods smile down upon you. Once in awhile, if you're really lucky, the shoe angels sing. And once in a very great while, if you've been a vvveeerrrryyyyyy good girl, you can actually find a pot of gold at the end of the shoe rainbow because there is a computer glitch at a major department store and you get $600 worth of shoes for only $65.

Yes, I died and went to shoe heaven yesterday and it was all because someone made a computer mistake and the high-end designer shoes that were already on clearance at said major department store were ringing up at something like 80% off the already clearanced price. In other words - I got two pair of Stuart Weitzman shoes for $65 that regularly would have set me back $600 (yes for two pair of shoes..sigh.) Even on sale, they would have still been about $300. One pair is a low wedge slingback with the most incredible big buckle on the toe that I have lusted after all summer but did not have the funds to purchase until yesterday when they were only $40 (even the sale price was still $178!) They are amazing and I'm wearing them today. Nothing like a great pair of shoes to lift a girl's mood. BUT - I also got the most fabulous pair of sandals that honestly, I would have never purchased originally, but at the price I was able to score them at, I figured, why not? They are a pewter leather criss-cross sandal with a chunky heel and they look great on but even better? They are super comfy, which is not something I find with heels as often as I'd like. The photo at the top is this sandal in black - the pewter is much prettier and more unique. I'm going to NYC at the end of this month and what a great pair of sandals to wear with my little black Calvin Klein dress in the evening.

I had to share my good fortune. I only wish there had been a computer glitch on handbags as well!
