A girl in my office who sits right behind me just sent me a link to a pair of shoes she is considering buying. They weren't ugly, but NMS. They fit her personality totally. Anywho...they were $895!! I was like oh my goodness... that is almost 2 months of my daycare bill.
Ok I just had to share!

Re: Ohmygosh
I also agree. Even if I had tons of money I would have a hard time justifying a purchase like that!
AMEN to that!

This! I pay more than that for one month!
I pay $500 a month, so $1000 for two. Remember, Maggie only goes to daycare 2 days a week!

Okay, for 2 days a week, that's a lot! At first I was going to ask how you found somewhere near Boston that is that cheap!
$895 for shoes? Yeah, that's a little much. While I dream about having a shoe closet like Carrie from SATC, I rock danskos and driving moccasins 24/7. Heels, wtf are those?
This dude. I think my most expensive pair of shoes ever were really nice boots for $55. And I hemmed and hawed FOREVER about the price. Shoes aren't a priority for me lol
You and E are the equivalent of me and Matt.This is why we all get along so well
I got Parker some shoes from Stride Rite Outlet and they were still $36 and change. They are the only ones that stay on his feet and last through his abuse.
This is Me and Lincoln exactly, too. Money just burns a hole through his pocket and I'm all like 'WE CAN'T AFFORD THAT!!!'
Exactly! I only buy shoes out of necessity and then it's a splurge to go to Kohls and see what's on sale.

wow... my wedding dress didn't cost that much

THIS... wow... I also dont get spending hundreds of dollars on purses and other accessories, but this is from a girl who loves flip flops from Ralphs/Payless and purses from Kohl's/Walmart... I get awesome dresses from Ross and love the clearance racks at Payless.
I never did fit into the trendy LA fashion scene lol.
The only time I spent real money on shoes it is for running shoes.
The most I've ever spent for shoes is $80 and that was an annomily (sp?). I usually don't spend over $40. If I owned shoes or an accessory or something worth that much, I'd be scared I'd lose it or damage it and then I'd be devastated.
ETA: this was in response to Alise, the quote didnt work.
LOL, good this makes me feel better for spending $100 on my dress boots last winter as well. I always get leather ones so they last way longer as well. My last pair I had since I was in 11th grade, so about 6-7 years. So in the long run I guess spending $100-120 on boots wasn't a waste because of how long I wore them.

I plan to splurge on boots/shoes next weekend in Vegas
I think $120.00 on shoes is not that much of a stretch. Mine are usually from Walmart for $20.00, but they never last long
I used to buy Walmart shoes when I was younger, then I figured out that I could by $60 shoes and they lasted much much longer. So rather than spending $20 on shoes every few months I guess I'd rather spend the extra on a pair of shoes and have them last at least a year if not more
