I'm saving up my pennies for what will likely be a $300+ purchase of Fluevog shoes (seeing as you like these, you should check out Fluevogs!) later in the year, for instance, and that's fine with me because they are unique, handmade and of quality. So... are these shoes worth the $150? Are they comfy, wearable and something you will adore? If so... keep 'em!Celhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871879969054133260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523003352431215957.post-47817063114816159732012-03-19T04:55:56.641-07:002012-03-19T04:55:56.641-07:00IF they go with lots of things in your closet &...IF they go with lots of things in your closet & you'd get use out of them - keep them! I hate returning things - hassle and I also get weird attachment issues for things I buy!<br />But no, can't wear to a wedding, if only because they're gray and you want to be cheery and bright as a bridesmaid. It's your BM job (sigh). BUT they do match your blog name and theme :D<br /><br />xo<br />The Fashionable ESQ<br />http://www.thefashionableesq.blogspot.com/Nettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06297264045237657546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523003352431215957.post-32528543694845569992012-03-18T18:06:27.076-07:002012-03-18T18:06:27.076-07:00As a high school student strapped for cash, all I ...As a high school student strapped for cash, all I can say is...what IS the point of growing up and making money if you can't occasionally spend it on fabulous finds like this?

And sometimes it's fun to have a pair of semi-expensive, offbeat shoes that you don't wear all the time, but that make you really happy when you do wear them.Gray Skieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16802231263059362166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523003352431215957.post-48525794080653194112012-03-16T21:46:06.599-07:002012-03-16T21:46:06.599-07:00I like the way you think, Cynthia!

But shoes are my weakness :)<br /><br />And sometimes it's hard to tell what impulse purchase will turn out to be the piece of clothing that you'll wear to death. I've put a lot of thought into purchases that I've only ended up wearing a handful of times, and I have some pieces that I bought on a whim and wear a few times a week.Gray Skieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16802231263059362166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523003352431215957.post-16147231475572395042012-03-16T21:36:46.992-07:002012-03-16T21:36:46.992-07:00The mother and cheapness instinct in me would say,...The mother and cheapness instinct in me would say, "Hey girl, are you crazy?
