I had a couple of interviews this week so I spent the last couple of days in the Black Hills. I felt really good about my first interview so I decided to grant myself some me-time. Since I had a coupon for Payless (15% off), I decided to spend about a half hour in there looking at shoes that I did not need. It's always fun just to browse and try on things just to goof off.
Well, I found some really great regular-priced merchandise.. but I also found some amazing deals! A sale plus a savings coupon is an awesome reward!
The items I really wanted to purchase were a pair of grey Fioni pumps ($22.99) and a taupe Minicci hand bag ($24.99). Being unemployed, both were out of my price range. But my eyes continued to wander and I found a pair of maroon Predictions flats and a gold Minicci hand bag on sale for $6. With my 15% off coupon, I walked out of the store with both sale items for a little more than $12.
Despite my luck in finding such cute shoes and accessories for such low prices, this little shopping venture somewhat frustrated me.
In the past, I had noticed that my shoe size is different when it comes to different styles of shoes. But today, I noticed just how much that difference was. I'll give it to you quick..
Tennis shoes: Size 8
Flats: Size 7
Heels: Size 7.5
These many differences make online purchasing very frustrating.. which is why I don't buy shoes online! It's too much of a hassle when there is no guarantee that the shoes will be the right fit. So I shall continue to shop in the shops just to receive the no-hassle "satisfaction guaranteed."
God bless and best wishes for the new year! And remember to be yourself. Don't try to be anyone else. Wear what's you!
