Debbie's Footwear Addiction - cont'd

I haven't had much time lately for my usual browsing and shopping around town so when I finally made it out to the mall one late Friday evening, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the semi-annual Zara sale was still in full force. As I walked into the store the first thing I spotted was these beige suede beauties (real suede and not the faux stuff!). As I flipped over the tag to reveal the 40$ sale price, I could feel the endorphins releasing in my body. I was stuck dragging these boots around the whole store with me as I browsed the entirety of the sale collection and periodically stopped at each mirror to try them on over and over again to be sure of my decision. Despite the fact that I sometimes feel my legs are too short to really pull off the over-the-knee boot, I just couldn't leave these behind. They are now tucked away safely in my closet as we await the disappearance of all signs of snow and moisture...can't wait! 

My Mary Jane Manolos

I can still remember the day these became mine. I was working at American Apparel at the time and had access to the internet on the store's computer. I had placed my bid on Ebay a few days back but now time was running out. A few minutes before the auction was closing, an online bidding war ensued. I remember the adrenaline I experienced re-bidding several times and that torturous wait for the page to reload. Most of all, I also remember my co-workers at AA cheering me on and sharing in the extreme excitement with me. When the ebay auction closed, well obviously, I WON! All I can say is, I'll never forget that day...the day I bought my first pair of Manolos.
