The title of this post is not meant to be deceiving. Nay, children, I very much intend to invite you to a party inside my brain at which we all bring stunningly twin-like pairs of shoes and marvel at their money saving swapping potential! Since it's my party and my brain, I'll go first.
For approximately three months now, I have been lusting for Tabitha Simmons' Hermione velvet point-toe Mary Jane flats from the bottom of heart and kneecaps. I knew from the moment I laid eyes on them that they perfectly combined my coexisting desires to bask in comfort, transform my feet into a pillow for the chins of puppies, embrace the classic look of flat footwear, and prep the lower half of my body for a life of Alexa-Chung-like eternal toddler sophistication. It was a freaking eureka encounter, let me tell you. However, their $675 price tag was too steep to seal the deal. And so, tragically, I left them where I found them...in the abyss that is Barneys.com.
Part II of this tale shepherds us to another day, another website, and another discovery. The day was yesterday, the website was Zara.com, and the discovery was a pair of black point-toe Mary Jane flats nearly identical to the ones for which I had been yearning. Except these cost $79.90.
Best party ever?
