OK, I suck because I didn't tell you in time. The big shoe sale just ended today at
Lord & Taylor, where if you bought one pair you got 20% off, two-to-three pairs, 25% off and four pairs, 30% off! I tried - hard - to buy four pairs, but before I got locked inside for the night I had to make a final purchasing decision. So while you can no longer benefit from the sale, I suggest going and checking out the newly revamped shoe department, which has some great stuff from Jil Sander, Coach,
Donald J. Pliner, Frye and other fancy European brands that I can't yet pronounce correctly.
P.S. These Donald J. boots are freaking excellent. The other shoes you see pictured here are of the new high heeled-shoe shoes that all the kids are wearing. Think a modern day Little House on the Prairie. In this case
Via Spiga and
Tahari hooked me up.
I was also fortunate enough to have gotten an L&T gift card from my day job to put toward my purchase. So while I wouldn't describe my score as inexpensive, I feel somehow triumphant.
Vive le SHOE!
YES, this is my most favorite time of year because it means that fall is coming and I can buy BOOTS. I found these two pairs online and I love them both. But as is typical with tales of love, this one is tragic. The black Stuart Weitzman's are not only on sale for $385.20 (yes, not exactly a give-away, but less than the original $535), but they also have an elastic back for comfort and style and they are just perfect for me. Except for the fact that the largest size they are offering is 6.5. I am guessing they are leftovers from last year. Sigh. Then, the tall tie-ups (aka "the Daria") from the shoe masters at Donald J. Pliner remind me of my blue leather Kenneth Cole boots I adored back in the 80s. But at $595 and with a 4" heel, this frugal old lady can't commit. My quest for boot love continues...
