This Is No Time For An Intervention (Updated)
I saw these shoes today and had, I mean had to have them. Especially since they were 50% off thanks to a one-day sale. Forget that I have nowhere to wear them. Forget that I have nothing to wear them with. Forget that I am on a budget. Forget that I'll probably break my neck trying to walk in them. Forget all of those things. When you have an addiction, you have an addiction and that good sense your mama taught you is thrown to the wind.
So in true addict fashion, I have begun justifying my actions by making up reasons for why it was, in fact, a smart and responsible move. So far, the best I've come up with is that I was planning on buying a fabulous new outfit for my Valentine's Day date with hubby. We are going to a swank resto-lounge and I need to at least try to look like I belong there. So rose colored, sequined, platform, slingbacks pumps on V-day it is. (caution: twisted rationalization up ahead) Actually, it's the perfect shoe for a romantic date, no? Nevermind that it's February and will likely be freezing and open-toe shoes make little sense. NEVER.MIND. The shoes? They are fly. And I will feel so hot in them that I will actually be warm.
Really, the only thing left to do now is to find a cute dress to go with them. Any suggestions? Come on fashionistas. What kind of friends are you if not my enablers?
It is with heavy heart that I must report the following unfortunate news - I came home, opened up my email and saw this message: "Thank you very much for shopping at SmartBargains. We are sorry to inform you that all items in order 280308322941-315096811018 have become unavailable...blah blah blah."
Friends, it's a cruel, cruel world.

Fantastic! I love them. Definitely made the right decision. Now, I'm sure you can get a fab. dress on sale to justify them further :)
The shoes are fabulous!!!
Did you purposely not share the name of this store where you found the fabulous shoes/sale?

Just catching up -- thanks for the inaugural post! Love the gorgeous gown pictures!
what is the name of this swak resto-lounge?
wait, so did you get the shoes, or were they out of stock? If so, THAT SUCKS! I'm sure another store carrie these shoes. I know I'm not helping your habit, but the shoes are hot!!!
alas, i did not get the shoes. others stores do have them but not at 50% off! and i can't bring myself to pay full price knowing what i COULD have gotten them for. ah, the plight of a shop-a-holic.
You are right, that's just so sad. They're awesome.
