I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Mine was busy, busy, busy. But in between family, friends, lunch dates, and dinner plans, I was able to slip away to do a little shopping. What I found was a beautiful pair of Steve Madden Leopard Oxfords! Let me first backtrack a little to give you a little background info.
It all started when I received a Nordstrom's catalogue in the mail at the start of the weekend and spotted a smart pair of oxfords (below) by "Steven by Steve Madden." The pair displayed in the catalogue was rhinestone studded, and valued at $150 - not exactly your most practical shoe. But then I thought: maybe I could find it cheaper elsewhere.
After a little research on the Steve Madden website, I was able to track down the same shoe in different prints. Sadly, even the oxfords (sans rhinestones) were priced at $120 (below); still making them impractical and just another item to lust after. Right?
One of the shops that I randomly like to visit from time to time is TJ Maxx. Stores like these tend to either be a hit or miss given their random inventory but it's a great way to find designer items for less.
Given my less than spectacular storytelling, I'm sure you all know where this story is headed. I'll continue anyway. While perusing the shoe aisle, I came across the pair of Oxfords that I saw on the website for only $49.99! Yes, I almost burst with happiness. So, if I used my college degree correctly, that's about a 40% discount. Yippee! So this must be what smart shopping is all about! *pats back* I'm now fully ready to tackle the fall season.
