My first mistake was entering Von Maur through the shoe department. I've had my eye on a pair of green Adidas sneakers since May, when I first spotted them at the Adidas store in Vegas. A few months later, they appeared at Von Maur. I would "visit" them often, but never tried them on or made the purchase. So as I glanced over at the table where these shoes usually are yesterday morning and did not see them, I got a little excited. Could it be? Did they finally get marked down?! I had to go check it out. And sure enough, as I entered into the brightly lit clearance room, there they were...and now they reside in my closet. Sometimes, it pays to be patient.
Oh, and did I mention that when I was walking back to the clearance room, there was a table full of boots that were also marked down? I've been without a pair of brown boots - a staple of footwear for the winter season - for over a year now. So I made the pit stop to see what was there. I found a pair of Steve Maddens that I've eyed a time or two and at a price of $66 (a great price for a pair of boots) I seized the opportunity.
The bad news is my bank account was not extremely happy with my purchases. The good news is that I got the majority of my Christmas shopping done and I'm looking forward to seeing the faces of my family as they open their gifts.
love the shoes!
