I feel the need to preface this post with the fact that I don't often buy new shoes. Maybe once or twice a year I'll find a pair I really love & take them home with me. In fact I still wear 1 pair of shoes I've had since 10th grade (I'm waiting for Stacy & Clinton to come rip them off my feet).
It all started with a little after Christmas sale at Kohl's. I found these great skechers & snatched them up. Although they were available in brown, grey, & black, they only had brown in my size, so that's what I got. I love them & I've worn them almost every day since then (even when they didn't exactly match my outfit - gasp!!)
Well, for the last 4 days I've been in Los Angeles with my sister, Amy, seeing the sites & just having fun. Today we happened to run across a Skecher's store which led to a shoe-buying saga of epic proportions. It began with the whole 'buy one, get one half off' sale. John is seriously against this type of marketing & typically talks me out of falling into the trap of buying 2 pairs instead of just one. But today his logic was foiled due to the presence of my sister (that's what sisters are for, right?) We decided we would work together to take advantage of the sale by each buying a pair of shoes, thus sharing the discount.
The only problem with our plan was I couldn't decide which pair I wanted. After much contemplation, I went with a more practical pair of black sketchers over some flashier silver & navy ones. We finally checked out, but that was only the beginning.
In the end, after visiting 3 Skecher stores, with 4 of us looking at & trying out countless paris of shoes...here is the result:
Yeah, I mentioned 4 people checking out shoes, but they're all mine & Amy's. Sorry Mindy & John. You lose.
