It is possible. I have friends that always find Gucci shoes there. But they troll multiple locations WEEKLY on the days they get their new shipments. I just don't have the stamina for all that. Plus I HATE shopping in cluttered stores. Something about visual noise makes me nervous.

SCNDLS said:

See, that's some dedication fo yo ass! I couldn't do it, I just don't like shopping THAT much But I guess it wouldn't hurt to find out the shipment days, so if I ever happen to be out I could check & yea, cluttered stores irritate the shit outta me, plus the lines are always awful...

LOVE the gold Michael Kors, but wait a damn minute... You bought Giuseppe ZaFUCKINnotti & Prada @ damn MARSHALL'S??? Okay, I'm shopping in the wrong stores. I'm so used to finding pure SHIT when I go to Marshall's/Ross/Nordstrom Rack that I just stopped going. Damn, maybe I need to start checking them out again

You are officially queen of the bargain (though I know they were still expensive!!)

CalhounSq said:

You always make me laugh Calhoun.
But yes I did find Guiseppe's & Prada at Marshall's. I buy designer shoes wherever I can find them. I will spend money for them in Neiman Marcus outlets & Saks outlests, but if I can find them elsewhere, you better believe the lowest bidder is getting my money. And you have to go to a Marshall's that considered a Shoe Megastore. Their website will tell u which stores are.

Now Ross and the Nordtrom rack here are total shit shacks. i don't even both going in them.

However, some TJ Maxx store have designer clothes - these store are considered Runway store. I bought a Pucci dress, Ralph Lauren Black Label & Purple Label Collection (pants can run a $1,000.00 retail - don't believe me go to Polo.com), Valentino, Prada, high end jeans and some designer shoes.

I need to teach a course on this stuff. Or take u ladies shopping with me.

Those are beautiful Val!!!

wait are you a size 5???

They say that the eyes are the windows of the soul, but I think a woman's shoes can speak volumes about her. So, ladies, I wanna see pics of your hottest, sexiest shoes. Shoes you own, want, or lust after. And tell me how they make you feel when you wear them or if you hear a particular song in your head when you strut in them. LOL! (I do )

Here are some of my current faves.

These make me feel like a delicate princess. They also look like something Beyonce would wear.



These are my, "Approach me, if you think you bad enough, cuz I'ma fuck you up!" shoes And I strut to Little Red Corvette in my head. LOL!!! I wore these to one of the shows at the Roosevelt and was standing next to Prince at the aftershow. He looked me up and down stopped at my shoes and gave me the I LIVE for his approval of my footwear.



These are my biker chick ankle boots. I hear Pat Benatar's "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" when I rock these.



These are a more conservative version of the biker chick boots, but still hot IMO. Surprisingly comortable for 4 1/4 inch heel.




Okay, so show me whatcha got, pretty ladies. . .

What I do when I find stuff on sale at other stores is call Zappos and have them match the price because they'll take another 10% off, there's no sales tax, and you get it next day with free shipping. Plus you have a year to return them if you don't wear them AND they do price adjustments if the price goes down more. Of all the shoes I bought from them very few were regular price and MOST were 50-70% off the Zappos price.

SCNDLS said:

OMG, they do that??!!! Okay, you may have just ruined me w/ that info

Uh, yeah, that policy is contributing to my issues. It used to be on unlimited numbers of shoes, but last December I hit 'em hard. I bought 7 pairs of SW that were on sale at the SW stores so Zappos took about 60% off to match the price. The next day they changed the policy to price match one pair per calendar month. I call it the SCNDLS clause.

You BAD, BAD girl, SCNDLS!

I am loving them.

1sexymf said:

& whaddayaknow - THEY FIT So this is officially my LAST pair of "just because I love them" shoes Now all I need is:

basic black pump
grey suede boot
ivory boot
all white sneaker


I have to resist the yellow pair of these, I just have to

CalhounSq said:

OK, Calhoun - the shoe lover that you are - what is up with the needing of a basic black pump? I would think you would have several of them since they're a wadrobe staple.

SCNDLS said:

You changed the policy of an entire website, I must bow to you

CalhounSq said:

I was shocked AND embarrassed. I had made my purchase on Dec 5th and called back like 2 weeks later to make another purchase. The salesgirl promptly informed that I could only purchase one pair. I'm all indignant and shit talkin' 'bout, "I JUST purchased 7 pairs 2 weeks ago and I've done this before. . . " She says, "Yes, ma'am we know but the new policy went into effect on Dec. 6th." Well, damn. I kinda wanted to cry. They've been around for ages and sell millions of shoes a year. I can't believe I AM the FIRST person to price match multiple pairs. But I did buy a bunch a shoes at a HUGE discount so I guess I almost shut 'em down.

SCNDLS said:

Girl wait - I called those mf's TODAY to try & get the yellow pair & the black satin (b/c I ordered black leather unknowingly, satin looks better in this style) down to Lord & Taylor's sale price - they don't me they don't match prices anymore I even tried the live chat just to see if a different person would say the same thing, & they did

I'm hopeless - I ordered them ANYWAY & had the nerve to hit Ross for matching bags AND I hit the nearest Marshall's Shoe Bonanaza Whateverthefuck - no luck there, but I did find bags. The pale yellow is PERFECT & goes w/ another pair of shoes The one to go w/ the Tobacco pair is okay, it definitely blends but I wish the color was darker/richer. I also found the cutest tiniest little bag to go w/ my Joey O's & after YEARS of searching - a decent brown purse that doesn't look grandma or trendy. I swear everybody's bags look like everybody elses bags these days - I don't want all that big buckle zipper studded tassled nonsense!!

You pay your taxes yet?

veronikka said:

Thanks they were only £29.

In the UK I am a 5 but US I am a 7 1/2.
I have bought a pair of sketchers here that were size 4. They do not have 1/2 sizes.

shanti0608 said:

Should have known they have different sizes over there

veronikka said:

It is hard to shop for clothes and shoes here. Everything has at least 3 sizes on it.

i am apparently going to buy trousers today. i have a suspicion it will end fruitlessly, with me feeling like a fatty and wanting to hide & cry.

wish me luck
