Mmmm, new shoes!
See, this is exactly why SheBits shouldn't be allowed out at lunchtime. It's a known fact that SheBits are attracted to big red sale signs, and will be seduced into spending their money.
Ho-hum.
On the bright side, I bought a pair of shoes which I'd been rather taken with when I first saw them a couple of months ago, but couldn't justify the £35 price tag. The £19.99 sale price was much easier to stomach, and they are very pretty - burgundy leather and suede pumps with a peeptoe and mary-jane strap. Very cute, and practical. Last summer I kept buying silly, impractical heels; this summer I seem to be buying cute but practical footwear - this is an improvement, no?
The other item I'd had my eye on this summer was a lovely cardie by Uttam, but it was £35 and the print, while pretty, was also rather garish and clashy - more moose_biscuit than SheBit. So at lunchtime I encountered a slightly more sedate (ie black) cardie with extra long, slim sleeves with buttons almost to the elbow. Good sleeves. And, bonus, only twelve squid.
So, I had been looking at £70 for a pair of shoes and a cardie, and ended up with the same shoes and a probably more useful cardie for the bargain price of £31.99.
We'll shy away from the 'spending money I don't have' element and focus on the bargain finding, shall we?
God, I'm so Jewish.
