i am a good girl. i have a clothing budget and i try to stick to it. sometimes i fail but this month i have not yet failed. and i wanted SHOES. pretty, pretty shoeses. so i went shoe shopping on zappos.com (who have never let me down in the arena of online shoe shopping). and i found a pair of shoes i loved and that i wanted to take home and pet and call them george and they were so cute and so wonderful and i loved them and i wanted them and i decided to go ahead and buy them and that is why in the two days i took to check over my budget and make sure i really wanted them they sold out.

3.5-in strappy oxfords with contrasting cap toe and t-bar and lovely sensible faux wood heel

are they not super fantastic?

and so i decided that i was not going to give up. i searched piperlime and nordstrom and macy’s and all of them had them but not in my size. and i grew despairing and wailed with impotent rage, until i found that … amazon apparently sells shoes. (seriously, who knew.) and they had my size! and they will arrive at chez niqui on tuesday!

SHOES SHOES HAPPY HAPPY PRETTY SHOES DAY TO ME!!!! SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOESSSSSSSSSS!
