Dangerous. I know.
Unnecessary. That too. I am not supposed to be shopping for Like-to-Have or Wants. Only Necessities.
Today I stopped at a little local charity shop and walked away smiling. It was almost like the IKEA commercial...."Start the car! Start the car!"
Three birthday gifts for three teen nieces plus a couple little items for me.
Whoever thought that a little "hole in the wall" shop would produce high end, brand name and designer items, un-worn, two for the price of three and just waiting to come home with me!
Not one, but three, Juicy Couture handbags (for the nieces....they're a little too flashy for me). These little numbers had a price tag of $10...not bad compared to an original price tag of $198.
Then these vintage inspired mary jane shoes by Sofft jumped off the shelf and right on to my tootsies. Get this...they're not red! You all know I have a penchant for red shoes. To me, a red shoe is a neutral. Red shoes....have you not seen Chocolat? I love that movie. One of my all time favorites. Ummmm....am I off topic here?
Anyway, these retro-vibed cuties are black, Sofft, and fabulous! $5, never been worn compared to $98 original price. Where would a SAHM wear such sweet shoes? Why, in the kitchen of course! Just wait until I have sewn a sweet apron to complete the look.
SCORE!
Do you ever consignment shop? A favorite haunt?
Wouldn't be caught dead?
Now, promise me you'll keep my little secret. Shhhh! I'm a couture girl at 5 & Dime prices!
I won't tell if you share the place with me....

I love, love, love the shoes! I'd wear them in the kitchen, in the bathroom, oh and with my legs crossed while sipping on a cup of tea while watching cartoons with my kids too! lol. I mean, any excuse to wear shoes like that, is a good excuse in my book :)

They're fun aren't they?
ReplyDeleteMoe....you know the place...it's hit and miss there and the same place that I got the children's table and chairs.
I'll be asking you on our evening walk where you're well kept secret shop is, lol!
ReplyDeleteFabulous!
Great shoes! That will have to be a stop if I ever get to come down sometime for a girls day!
ReplyDeleteI think you and I may need a girls excursion! Where did you find this store! I have a great little hole in the wall as well - Guess purse for $12 was only one of my many great finds. We'll swap addresses. =)
