I slipped into a certain department store en route to Coles last night to buy necessities, like loo paper, toothpaste and Herbal Essences shampoo, when I saw them. Like Baby spotting Patrick Swayze (God bless), I was instantly smitten. There, amongst the scattered sale debris was a single tan Tony Bianco pump waiting to be rescued... by moi.
I caressed it with the same affection one might reserve for a Shitzu puppy and checked the size... 5 1/2. Oh, no! This lovely, "Almond Vogue Ana" t-bar was a size too small. Still, I approached the sales assistant and requested its
Then came my Cinderella moment – they fit! Giddy with excitement – these shoes are the missing link in my shoe wardrobe of approximately 326 pairs of tan heels/flats/wedges/sandals, I thought – I handed over my credit card. Then, as if to seal this fateful shopping experience, the sales assistant gleefully informed me that they had been marked down even further... from $129 to $79 to just $53!

I bought the exact same pair of shoes in very similar circumstances from Shoobiz just after Christmas...in my case they were a size too big but dammit I made them fit!! I paid $79 though. I am still completely smitten with them :)

Haha! Love it! I am even going to give Lorenzo the link to read this great insight into the female mind.. hopefully it makes him stop being the shopping police - I can only hope haha :)
$53?! Babe you practically got them for FREE! Don't feel so bad... I went to the shops the other day and walked out with a chest of drawers. A lot more expensive than a teeny weeny pair of Tony Biancos...
Love it Erica!! You brighten my world! See you tonight! Yippeee!!!
You most definitely need more posts like this =D I love it!
...I want those shoes now.
Great post, Erica! :-)
If would have been wrong of you NOT to buy them...and they're super cute and will match with most things, so there you go. You were actually being quite thrifty :op
Bless! I love that you guys are totally justifying this purchase for me! :)
Very nice pair of shoes.

You are very funny! I love this post, and AVD is right - $53 is a bargain. Worry when you add a zero...
