shoes, boots...

went shopping today looking for a pair of fabulous boots to wear with nice jeans...
ended up buying a pair of fabulous sandals perfetct for evening... far far stretch from a pair of boots, i'll tell you.
but it was fabulous and on sale and in my size...

i am Cinderella when it comes to shoe shopping. the stores stock 1 pair of size 5 in each style, if any that makes that size, and i fight tooth and nail with the other size 5 women out there in a race of time to who is willing to dish out full price and buy that new style of shoe in the single size 5 pair in the store.

i've walked into a shoe store and said 'i'm looking for heeled sandals like this style, i wear a size 5, can u bring me what u have' - the salesgirl comes back with 3 pairs only, in the whole store - one is plastic see thru material, the other is shiny metallic silver (not the matte kind that is stylish now, i am talking about shiny industrial gold-lamee sparkly metallic silver), and the last pair was tan-brownish. unless it's horrendously ugly, when i find a pair of size 5 shoes, i HAVE to buy them, otherwise i can't find any shoes to wear.
