My First Pair of New York Shoes!
Friday, August 20, 2004
I felt it my duty as a “real” New Yorker (ala Sarah Jessica Parker’s character on Sex & the City) to buy a pair of expensive shoes!
Yesterday, Joe and I went to the Barney’s Warehouse sale. It was a mad house in the women’s deparment. The aisles were strewn with the torn remains of bargain items while piles of rejected pieces litted the floor. Women snarled at each other in primal rage over the bargain bin. The prices ranged from about $125 and up. In other words, i didn’t really shop that much. Then we headed downstairs to the mens stuff.
Surprisingly, the guys section was much more robust. Lines of suit coats and pants, sport coats and outerwear stood in organized racks in the basement. Not only was it in better shape, ther was so much more of it than the women’s section! That’s the first time i’ve seen more of a selection for men than women!
In any case, while Joe was plundering the guys section, I went to look for black shoes. Wouldn’t you know it? They only had one pair of closed-toe black shoes in the 8.5 section. So I bought them! Hehehe I really don’t like shoe shopping, so i’ll do anything to get it done quickly. They were originally $220, but i got them for $50. Not bad, i think. I felt like a real New Yorker all of a sudden - buying exorbitantly priced (but nicely discounted) footwear. They ain’t no Manolos, but hey, it’s a start!
What do you think of t hem?
This is just a test to see if this working.
