More shoes

They were originally $89.99, marked down to $44.95.  In Canada they would have been a bargain at $180.00.  A gorgeous pair of shiny, toe-cleavage, fuschia and orange high heels.  "Hey, what about these?", Sarah said, browsing the summer clearance aisles.  I hadn't noticed them, but Sarah always finds the best buys.  Yep, we were rummaging through DSW, "Discount Shoe Warehouse", on a mission to buy one of my favourite wardrobe items:  high heels.  (There's a reason this blog has the title it has.)

Generous almost to a fault, Sarah had dug out all her DSW coupons before we left.  Cashing them in at the checkout (they always honour the expired ones), what did I actually end up paying for these fabulous "Liz Claiborne's"?  $2.00.  Would that ever happen in Canada?  Never, ever, ever.

Then it was off to "Charming Charlie's", a huge outlet jammed with another of my favourites: accessories.  They have everything imaginable required to take the "little black dress" from drab to fab.  And I nailed it.  It was $9.97 for these earrings, $12.97 for that choker, $5.47 for this bracelet..........walked out with about 10 new outfits for $60 bucks.  As I have said, when I had no money, I learned how to "dress for (much) less"....as they say.

It's always about the earrings, the necklace and the shoes.  Period.  The end.
