Ever slept with your latest thrift find on your bedside table?
I almost did the other night, though in reality my bedside table served as a cute backdrop for showcasing my 'new' Nine West Studio heels I found at Value Village the other day for a whopping $14.99.
I wear a size 9.5-10, which somehow translates into there being nothing but super ugly shoes on the VV shoe racks. I found these (in the size 6 shoe rack - pays to go through 'em all) just as I was beginning to give up hope.
Reader, they're brand new, all leather with a stacked heel, and nary a scuff mark on the bottom. Plus there's this saucy little fabric bow on the toe.
Who says brown can't be sexy? I'm really getting into brown lately, and these babies go perfectly with a little A-line skirt I've had hiding in my closet for a little too long.
I find dark shoes look pretty sexy with lighter hose, like I'm wearing here.
Yes, I would sleep with those shoes. I love brown - the other neutral, the first being black, of course. These were a fabulous find. I've found any number (well, in fact, too many) shoes and boots never worn and in absolutely pristine condition at the Village. I've made the same mistake myself, walked around in the store for 5 min., bought them and either never found the opportunity to wear them or, fell out of love or, they just didn't fit as they should. And so off they would go to the thrift store with nary a mark. Now I'm so much smarter and buy many of my shoes at thrift stores - the same mistake is not nearly as costly!
ReplyDeleteL'age moyen, in truth, a hardly ever buy new shoes or boots as I find so many wonderful pairs used. But I am relentless about their condition: they can't be too worn, or at all stinky or scuffed. I bet most have been worn once and then discarded, perhaps like your shoes, as they were the wrong size or style or whatever for the previous owner. Hey, maybe I'm wearing your old shoes - what size are you?? tee hee....
