Yes, this is my shotty photoshop skills (I attribute it to my lack of patience to do such a trivial thing as use the history brush when I SHOULD be researching Joan of Arc...), but AREN'T THESE SHOES FABULOUS?!
Thanks to seller wednsday13 (I am assuming the misspelling was on purpose...but he/she did call them Reeboks instead of Adidas, so who knows) for these wonderful shoes at a killer price...$12.99 plus a $10 shipping charge. A STEAL, if you ask me. Since I'm writing this, I am telling you to nod your little head and agree. If I remember correctly from all of the years of circling these in my Journey's catalogues, they were somewhere around eighty plus. Again, a steal.
Here is my little soap-box rant:
You are not too good for used clothing/shoes. Buying used clothing/shoes does not make you poor, nor does it give anyone the right to look down on you. I buy vintage (call it that. it makes it seem so much more sophisticated) by choice, but it is much easier on my pocketbook than a trip to Dillards or the local boutique. I will still go to wonderful places like those, but Goodwill is my friend. Ebay is my future husband. Most of the clothes/shoes in my closet are thrift purchases, and I'm not ashamed of it. I get one-of-a-kind pieces with the character built in! If you ask me, not having to go through the blisters of new shoes is worth it right there.
Sometimes items at thrift stores aren't in wonderful condition. This is where you either get creative or pass altogether. After all, if you buy a shirt just because it is four dollars, and you never wear it because of the fit or length or WHATEVER, that's four dollars you could have spent at Sonic on a few Diet Cokes. Come on. Think about it.
Anyway, I wore these shoes the first day I got them, and received complements from my classmates. Score! I love it when other people love what I love <3
I am now awaiting my seven dollar Betsey Johnson slingbacks to come in the mail. I am a happy camper indeed!
