You Don't Always Get What You Pay For

I never spend a lot of money on shoes, okay maybe not never, but very rarely. I think the most I've ever spent is $100.


Well, Nick and I went shopping for my 30th birthday and I saw the boots in the pic below and had to have them. Even though they were $150! I justified it by saying,


"You only turn 30 once!"


Well the THIRD time I wore them the laces completely fell apart. Luckily they were from Nordstrom so I was able to take them back, but the stupid thing was they were all sold out. So I just took the money and left.


Well while browsing the mall I stopped by Charlotte Russe and saw basically the exact same pair of boots for only $30!


That's right, $120 cheaper!!


Nothing like that feeling you get when you know you just saved yourself a whole lotta money.


I love it.


And actually I kinda like the Charlotte Russe boots better. This is why I shop at stores like Charlotte Russe and Forever 21, because they have clothes that look like the expensive stuff, but you don't leave with buyers remorse.


I'm a happy girl.

    Oh no!! My experience is always the opposite! I love Nordstrom and spend way too much on shoes. BUT I do looooove your Charlotte Russe ones and agree that they are cuter than the Nordstrom ones. :)

    Oh my goodness. the shoes from Charlotte Russe are a million times cuter than the one from Nordstrom. Don't get me wrong, i love Nordstrom (sometimes too much), but those shoes are not as cute as the other. And I love your outfit with the striped shirt! I'm jealous!

    I think I like the ones from Charlotte Russe better, too. That is seriously THE BEST place to get shoes, I swear! I feel like I can get decent quality shoes for a super low price. I don't think I've ever had a pair of Charlotte Russe shoes fall apart, either!
