guilty :D

Aldo is having a huge clearance sale with an online exclusive offer for an extra 25% off.  On top of that I won their draw and got a coupon for 15% off entire purchase.  According to fine print the coupon should only apply to regular priced items, but when I entered the promo code it worked on the clearance items too!  Aldo always has free shipping and full refunds in-store including clearance items.  With that in mind, this happened:

Dressy Flip Flops: $15.93 (Original $30)

Do I need it?  I kinda do, I have been looking for a pair since last year.

Do I love it?  It's pretty nice.

Note to self:  If they don't live up to style and extreme comfort expectations, return.

UPDATE: I've worn it outside now, so I must keep them.  They're okay.

Fabric Wedge Boots: $31.87 (Original $70)

Do I need it?  YES, I have needed winter work shoes since last year.
Do I love it?  It's versatile and stylish enough.  I'll wear it often.

Note to self:  I pray it's comfortable and looks ok in person...
UPDATE: Fits well with thin socks and looks pretty good.  I've also worn this outside now.  Keeping.

Leather Booties: $57.37 (Original $120)

Do I need it?  No, I can survive without it...
Do I love it?  YES!!!  I have been keeping an eye on this one forever!
Note to self:  If it's not comfy enough to dance in, take a picture then return.
UPDATE: Doesn't fit.  Return.

Suede Stiletto Sandals: $44.62 (Original $100)

Do I need it?  Absolutely not.

Do I love it?  Yes, I love the yellow, it's so cool!  It fit well when I tried in store.

Note to self:  I should probably return this one...
UPDATE: Comfy, but the yellow is not THAT outstanding.  Contemplating return.

Leather High Heel Sandals: $57.37 (Original $110)

Do I need it?  No...

Do I love it?  Yeah! I tried this on too, I look sexy in it!

Note to self:  It's comfier than stiletto but still really high, I could return it...
UPDATE: Comfy, cool... still contemplating...

I have been shopaholic lately.  Specifically, I have noticed that shopping reduces stress and elevates mood.  But, I have held back from many "it's just okay but really cheap!!!" purchases in recent months.  I can't really afford to spend the way I used to anymore.  When these shoes arrive and I get to try them on, I hope it will be easy to narrow down my deserving purchases.  I can't believe I stayed up all night for this, it's SO engaging...

Um...

ok, elevator music is nice but NOBODY IS PICKING UP THE PHONE.  oh my god...  my call is important to you, you're welcome i have remained on the line, but a representative has not been with me in whatever time period "shortly" refers to.  =__=

Uh...

The welfare office isn't very friendly or helpful...
