Shoes, Shoes and More Shoes...

Well, the Spectator Pumps came in from Nordys today and they are *fabulous* beyond compare. Again, very classy, yet another peep toe, but whatever. I've lusted after them and they are mine, mine, mine - all mine. And they were over 50% off from Steve Madden's original price tag. (And will be rocked tomorrow with this uber cute top I got from Lane Bryant which will be packed for the Philly Trip!).

One of the things that The Secret advises is to visualize the things you want - the things you want to achieve, whether its a new house, new car, toaster (that's totally mine but you see my point) and either put it together in a collage, book, something. Well, I did a Word document (because I figured I'd be nifty like that) and went through some of my lust items on the blog - just to try it out. (Yes, the CLs are on there but I need to start small, right?).

One of the things I ADORED were the Oh Deer! Wedges from Endless.com. I thought they were so unique and perfect for summer - just not at the $110 price tag. They would be perfect for one of my outfits in Philly and I could even wear them to work. Well, this weekend I noticed that they were on UrbanOutfitters.com for $75. Urban Outfitters doesn't have cash back nor a coupon but I'm thinking - perhaps in a week or two - I really want those but not now. Then as I'm browsing around the 'net this weekend I decided to check two of my go-to sites for shoes on the cheap: SmartBargains & Overstock.com. Guess what - we have a winner (well - Overstock had the winner). And they were $49.99. - That's well over 50% off. Now, with Mr. Rebates you get 5% back but I still was hedging..

Today, I just happened to check and there was a special promotion - 10% off Women's Shoes until 7/3 which would then bring the price down to $44.99. Plus, Mr. Rebates also offered an additional 7% off ($3.15) AND I get cash back ($2.90). Not a bad bargain at ALL. Basically, it's about $39.00. (minus tax & 2.95 for shipping)

All in all - it goes to show that if you envision, you will eventually come across. Sometimes Sooner. Sometimes Later. But you just have to be eagle-eyed about it because you NEVER know when it crosses your path - you might get it.

Wonder if it works for that BMW Convertible *LOL*
