OMG OMG OMG!
some of you will remember the not-so-tragic story of my favorite brown pumps sinking through the floor in nordstrom. in return for my duress, i was given the "golden ticket" of shoe opportunities, and last night i cashed in:

i had a lot of pressure about these shoes, mostly because my girlfriends saw it as an awesome opportunity to snag a pair of very expensive shoes. personally, i don't think i've ever had a pair of shoes cost more than $40, so it was a tough moral dilemma; i felt i was bilking nordy's out of money that wasn't mine while people were putting it into perspective of how much i could have made had i sued. so when i walked in yesterday and these little beauties caught my eye, i knew then and there the dilemma was done. a few nervous moments of approvals and authorizing phone calls, and nordy's is $300 lighter in merchandise.

of course i'll probably never wear them. i've ordered their air-tight display box already.
current mood: happy new shoes!
