Ahh, are you prepared for my hryiofring tale? I used to work at a designer shoe store, and at the end of summer all the summer shoes would go on sale - as in, 99% off kind of on sale, with our staff discount on top of that. I scored a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti platforms for $18, and Escada pumps for $9, a Gucci wallet for $20. Now, I'd been looking at this pair of pointy toed Cavalli stilettos for months. I wanted them when they were $500, so it should make sense that I would buy them when they were on for $18 right? Apparently not. For some reason, either because I didn't have time on my break or because I thought I wouldn't wear them (stupid! stupid!) I didn't end up getting them. WORST FASHION MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. Every time I have an outfit that would match, I curse my own stupidity at not getting them. I even went back to the store the day after, the final day of the sale, and they were still there..and AGAIN I didn't buy them! I have no explanation for my stupidity. I think my brain exploded or something. I still don't remember my reasoning for not getting them. Ugh.And the worst part? After the final day of the sale, and I'm sure they didn't sell, the store donates all the leftover shoes to the homeless. So basically my dream shoes were probably given away at a women's shelter. Which is a good cause, but...siiiigh. When I go downtown I may or may not check all the homeless people's feet....
