It's a Shoetastrophe!! A Shoemare!

I love shoes.

You didn't know this?

Oh yeah, I guess I haven't really transposed my love of shoes from FB to Blogger. I'll get on that.

Anyway, you know that part in PS -  I love you where Hilary Swank has thrown her shoes and remarks that she has to go pick them up 'cause they might think she's mad at them if she leaves them? (or something)
That's me.

Kinda.

(Understatement?)

ANYway, a huge travesty has occured. A shoevesty.
(are these getting old yet?)

I ordered this REALLY cute pair of shoes online. It's never a good idea to order shoes online, I've often thought. I think we maybe talked about this briefly in this post.

However, there was a store (that shall remain...nameless) that was having a clearance.

AND you can debit online. (!!)

That just makes it waaaaay too easy.

I digress.

I was hoping to have them arrive before the weekend so I could wear them both on Friday (they are GREAT for jeans) to go out for drinks with the co-workers. Also, to be able to strut from my car to my mum and dad's front door on Turkey Day. (yep, Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend)

They were delivered yesterday (!!)

Imagine my excitement when I grip the package

knowing that my heart's desire awaits me on the other side of the protective plastic shipping bag

lovingly tucked in to a shiny, little white box.

I was too excited to wait to get back upstairs, (I had them delivered to the office) so in the lobby of our building, while waiting for an elevator, I ripped open the bag and retrieved the shoe box.

Once inside the elevator, one floor from my destination, I opened the box and peeled back the tissue

sucking my breath in as I anticipated the first moment that I would lay eyes on them.

Imagine my defeat

 my disappointment

 my utter devestation 

when I opened the box

only to find .....

this ugly lil pair of snub-nosed brown pumps.

2 sizes too small .

 

I can't even keep them if I like them.

(which, in hind sight, I have KIND of fallen in love with them a little.

What? I need a new pair of brown pumps and round toes are in this season)

 

This is what I ordered:

 

Aren't they GORGEOUS??

 

Can you not see them with a nice pair of jeans?

Or dressing up a smart pair of gray pants?

I'm in love. Still.

And this is what I got:

Not terrible.

And as I said, they're growing on me.
