As soon as something is discounted I buy it. Seriously. If
you ever want me to buy something then send me a gift certificate or coupon for
some amount of money off that is a multiple of $5.
The best month for this for everyone, is of course birthday
month. Well, August just happens to be
mine, and while I am a year older (and a
hell of a year that was) I have not gained any self-control when it comes to
the topic of spending money because I get to save money. Just ask Ulta about
the damage I did last night because I was promised discounts and a free
birthday mascara (which they were out of).

| Duckie's creepers. I need to find these. |
DSW is one of the many places that sends me a gift certificate
for my birthday, knowing they’ll lure me in with $5 or $10 off. So of course I
packed up the twins and went shoe shopping.
One thing that you all need to know about me shoe shopping
(as if you don’t already know) is that logic and wearability has very little to
do with why I buy shoes. Instead I buy shoes like animals hunt. Totally on
instinct and without logic or forethought. So as I wandered around I was not
considering what kind of shoes I should be getting. Especially with the new
shoe size the twins gave me, you would think I would have some kind of plan.
Nope. I just buy whatever all willy nilly, which explains
why I have a pair of red pumps, black and white heels, and black, laser cut
peep toes. So of course this trip
involved buying a pair of shoes simply because the reminded me of the shoes
Duckie wears in Pretty in Pink.
By the way, they’re nothing like the creepers Duckie wore
(which are seriously awesome).

| Nothing like creepers, but I kind of love them. |
These are black…shoes. Seriously, I don’t know what they
are. They are open but aren’t sandals, they have an ankle strap with buckles,
they don’t have a heel… They’re not creepers and they’re not heels. But they’re
also flat enough I can wear them out with the twins. (You try carrying 2
carries or babies in heels).
Once I got them home I also figured out that they would look
awesome with harem pants. Unfortunately, I would not look awesome in harem
pants (does anyone?) and was at a loss of what to wear them with. Finally I
threw them on with a black cotton skirt, graphic t-shirt and giant sunglasses
and called it my new summer uniform.
All because DSW knows just how to get me. Speaking of which, I just got another $5 emailed to me. Guess where I'm going this weekend.
