Mightydacz commented on a previous post that we're turning "imeldific" with our love for shoes. (Thumbs up for a guy who knows the adjective! Yey! :) While it's true that we love shoes and that we have several entries to show that, we're still quite not done (yes, shoes ko pong mahabagin talaga!). Our appetite for 'em is insatiable, and we're not quite apologetic about it. Okay, I'm an addict, so shoe, este, sue me! Hehe.
I know I already got my gladiator shoes from New Look with a mary jane to boot but I went crazy (again) the other weekend with New Look's Buy 2 Get 1 Free promo. You'll never guess what I got from this mall errand... and for how much! Okay clue: SHOES.
Six pairs of shoes to be exact! You may think I may need to starve myself for two weeks but I just have to cut down a little on my eating spree (good for my so-called diet) because do you know how much these six gorgeous pairs cost me? SR160! Yes, 160 riyals for the whole lot!
SR160 for all?! How can I resist?!You see, each pair costs SR40 now that New Look has further reduced their prices. So that's a total of SR240. But wait, there's more (or less because of the promo)! Since there's an ongoing promo of getting one free if you buy two, then two of these pairs are free! So I get to pay SR160 only! It's like buying one pair for its original price and getting five more pairs free! I acquired a mild headache when I computed the total if these shoes were bought in their original prices... SR1,084!!! Wow! From SR1,084 to SR160! I told you they were such a bargain.
Can't get enough of the shoesies!What do I like about these shoes? They are made with real leather (whetever that means, it just sounds so er, real!). They have heels (shorter than the glads I got) but they're very comfortable. I used two of these pairs this week just to break into them and I didn't have any problems walking (more of sashaying) in our hallways. They create this awesome sexy sound every time I walk, making the illusion that they're way more expensive than their price. (Ilusyunada?!)
This too much praise for shoes deserves me a good whack in the head from the saving guru. But if Imelda wasn't given a good whacking for her overwhelming indulgences, why do I, a lowly shoe-loving gal, get to be sorry for this once in a year (yeah right) "imeldific" urge?! :P C'mon, you turn "imeldific" once in a while too, diba? Guys, I'm talking to you, too! How much was your latest pair of rubber shoes again?! Teehee, umamin! ;P
3 had something to say:
At sinong babae (I mean, gerl) ang hindi shoe-addict?!
Pero unlike men, women tend to hoard more shoes than they really need. Most of them get filed in shoes racks -- color-coded, as per events, the costliest always on top. Parang ganun.
My rubber shoes' brand is Sketchers which I bought on sale (SAR150 yata). I haven't bought a pair of shoes for more than six months now.
I know some male friends (okay, not-so-male friends) who buy branded shoes which they oogle at at the end of the day. That for me is weird.
To each his own, sabi nga. Tsaka nasa age bracket yan e. The younger you are, the more you are a spendthrift. The older you become, the thriftier. (Haha, baka magalit si Mightydacz!).
dami na shoes ah....oi kuya nebz nagtitipid n ako lol
@Nebz: Yep, women really tend to get more pairs of shoes for several functions: work, outing, parties, hobbies, etc. While men, though they do not buy as many, buy the costlier ones like rubber shoes and leather shoes. Hmn, so dahil bata pa kami (hehe), we're spending on these things. We know magiiba din ang ihip ng hangin when we get older and have our own families (kaya?!). :P
@Mightydacz: Hmn, mukhang gastador ka din ah! Hehe. :P
