Shoe Steals

Wednesday Jun 17, 2009

Here is the dress I found at the thrift.  I’m so glad I got it.  I am so loving the print & the shape, which I feel is pretty flattering on me.  Those shoes were only like $5, ages ago.  They are so classic as well as being completely neutral.  They’re a light beige with a tiny bit of gold sparkle woven through.

I’ve got to say, one of my absolute favorite things is finding cute shoes for cheap!  I had 2 major scores at Marshalls today:  a pair of Wanted mary-janes for $3 and a pair of Rampage suede fringe sandals for $7.  I also got a cute pair of sporty flats by Liz Claiborne but they were $10 – I don’t really count anything over $10 as that much of a steal.  I know it’s still a good price but, you know, I guess we all have our own targets for pricing.  (Side note: I also realise it depends on the brand name, quality, etc… Basically, there’s a sliding scale LOL.)

What price for shoes is a steal for you?  What is the absolute most you will pay for a great bag?  What are some of your most memorable finds?  Discuss.

You look extra lovely today. The cut and color of your dress is perfect for you!

I like how it cinches at the waist. The print is lovely and it’s very flattering on you.

I agree – very nice and flattering look. As for shoes, I love it when I can get brand new Nine West Heels for around $20-25 either on clearance on their website or 6pm.com. As for the most I will pay for a bag – I love high end bags and am willing to go about $800. As for memorable finds, my YSL scarf for a quarter still takes the cake!

Thanks guys! And to think I almost didn’t buy the dress!

The most I’ve paid for a bag: $138 on a structured leather Calvin Klein tote – that’s my most expensive but I try to keep below $50 lately.

@Kimberly – so THAT’s why we don’t see more bags on your site ;) P.S. Loved the tote you showed the other day!
