Shoe Problem

Fans,

I'm in a bit of a quandary.

In my utter state of despair yesterday, I thought I would just order a few pick me ups. So I did. And it did pick me up. When it came time to order my shoes from JCrew... well that, fans, is when I ran into my problem.

My $12 problem I'm calling it. Or more like my $24 problem.

I was going to order these little flats.

I kind of thought they would just go with everything. Plus there was free shipping on orders of $100. But these were only $98. So shipping was then $12 for a quarter pound of SHOES. Probably less than that even. And then taxes were $12 which is not accurate. So I didn't order them. Why, UB, did you not just find a pair of tights or a cute bangle to through in your bag, you are wondering? I was sick and not thinking clearly, that's why.

So then I decided to just order the upgrade. These flats.


But then I forgot. I was busy yesterday. And distracted by my man cold/allergies.

Now the free shipping promotion is over, so I can't even order the crackle flats. I'm just kind of against paying for shipping unless I have another promotional offer.

I logged onto Piperlime to see if there was another option. And I found these. But they are... GASP... SYNTHETIC. And $35. I know that's like a $100 price reduction, but can I do it? Can I sell my soul to the vinyl devil and live in $35 shoes for the next 4 or so months?

I suppose I'll keep looking for a bit, but I think I'll just wind up paying the BLIMEY shipping.

XOXO
