Thrifty Tuesdays

So I have been holding out on you guys, I know, I know, I'm the worst. But today, I looked down at my feet and said, "Oh yes, this is a 'Thrifty Tuesdays' (R) entry if I've seen one.

So let me tell you about it them.

I found these on a drive by to my favorite Goodwill, located on Melnea Cass Blvd in Boston. They were tied together with elastic and the silver penned price of $24.99 were inked on the bottoms. For those of you who are wondering, yes 25 dollars is a lot to pay for used shoes but you'll have a change of heart when you hear more.


These puppies were/are PRADA, as in the Devil Wears Prada. Black and barely used. I was all too excited to try them on and guess what.... they fit. Size 38.5 (It's within my range but more on the range later).


Enjoy!

btw I saved $395

Thrifty Tuesday.

so it all started over thanksgiving break '10. as i drove by the goodwill, i said to myself, go in there and in there i went. as i perused the shoe section, i thouhgt to myself, not bad. i even found myself doing a happy dance when i found a single gucci mule! i was soon dismayed when i couldn't find the other pair so i moved on... next i found a pair of nice looking penny loafers. upon closer inspection, i found that they weren't just a pair of nice penny loafers, they were tods, let the shoe angels sing, "aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh". they had a small hole in the sole, but nothing to deter a cobbler's-wet-dream, aka me, i get the heels,soles or anything else that need repairing fixed regularly. so, i made my way to the register where they charged me the low, low price of 5.99....

don't mind if i do...

have a looksee for yourself:

Thrifty Tuesdays

Ask anybody who's anybody, and you'll find out, I'm queen bee, when it comes to bargain shopping... And more than just bargain shopping, I think, I'm pretty good at thrifting...So for the next few weeks, I wanna introduce you, my readers, to the goodies, I've been lucky* {is there really such thing as luck} to find!

First up, we have a pair of YSL suede sandals in brown (nude for dark skinned girls!. I got them on my recent trip to Puerto Rico. We happened to drive by a Goodwill Store and I just needed to go in! I walked in and straight to the shoe section where I picked out these beauties...

{wolf whistle}

Well I picked those suckers up, did one lap around the store and proceeded to check out! At check out I asked, "Cuando"? To which the woman responded, "Un peso." {My heart is beating fast, my palms are sweaty... I reach into my purse, pull out A dollar bill and slide it across the counter.} As the sales woman accepts the dollar and puts my new shoes in the bag, I am elated.

I did have to get the elastic on the strap replaced, which put the cost of the shoes up to $21, still a steal....

Happy Thrifting...
