My secret to not buying things you want but don’t need
My secret is…take a picture of it! These shoes were very cute, and mostly ones that I would not really reasonably wear, but as I’ve said before, fashion is like art to me so I just take a picture and move along. It’s almost like having it since I wouldn’t wear them often anyway right? So if I ever want to reminisce about the time I wore hooker shoes, I can find the pictures.
But before that, a quick story. Macy’s (or is it Macy*s?) was having a shoe sale. 40% off retail price with an additional 30% off at the register. So these women…oh..I would say they are in their 30s to 40s were shopping around, and they said “oh yeah, and these are 70 percent off!” Being the eavesdropping fiend I am, I snickered. I suppose it’s a common mistake to add up the percentages, but that’s not how you shop.
40 percent off of $100 is $60. 30 percent off of $60 is $42! $42 is clearly not 70 percent off of $100…that would be $30. $42 is still a little more than $30. Anyway, I hope they weren’t counting too closely or they would be in for a surprise at the register. I’m definitely ingraining this into my students’ heads.
Betsey Johnsons. Her style is so kooky, I love it. I’m usually not a fan of wooden clogs, especially if they are weirdly shapen, but these are cute.
I believe these are Guess. Check out that heel! How much for the hour? *wink wink*
Betsey Johnson again. The platform is angled at the heel. These were actually kind of comfortable.
Guess. Walking around in these makes you feel like you could kick everyone’s butts. Or stick a heel in your forehead. I’ve seen that in a movie right?
I suppose this thread is for the foot fetish people out there.
