My $40 Pick Me Up

Dahlings, today was a ho-hum day at work and my solution to these types of days usually come in the form of a small shopping excursion. Today I nabbed one of my co-workers and headed to the Westfield Mall for lunch and made a stop at the nearest Nine West. So look, the Nine West brand is not top notch quality, oh no. But they satisfy the basic need that all girls have: cute shoes at draw dropping prices. And well, we were not disappointed. My accomplice and I both ended up purchasing the same pointy toe 2 inch pumps for the ridiculous price of $34.99.  I got the black pair, she got the gray.

So why was this a great buy? Well it's a pointed toe pump, which is a classic style that every girl should have in her closet but the studs and weave accents keep it from being a boring old pair of pumps. The pointy toe style also work to elongate the legs. I know not all girls feel comfortable with the added length of the pointy toe and if you have wide feet the pointed toe can pinch a bit. But luckily Nine West carries medium and wide sizes. I also love the height of these pumps. I typically favor a 3 inch heel but I really like the easiness the 2 inch heel provides. And the insole feels very cushiony adding that extra layer of comfort. Anyway, I love little purchases like this on days when you need a little pick me up. And they truly look a whole lot more expensive then they actually are. Upon returning to the office, the IT guys in the office-- having witnessed some special deliveries at the office on my behalf----asked me how much I paid for them. They were floored when I told them the price. So I think the hubby will be happy with this purchase.

Dahlings, in a rut? Set a dollar limit and treat yourself. My pick me up limit was $40. And I think I did pretty good.
