Gentle Friends, you know the kind of shopping I like, the unknown, hunt and gather, finding a treasure at a thrift shop kind.... and you can't really do that at the Mall.
We went out to the Mall, actually Stonestown Mall, there are a few "Malls" in and around the Bay area - Stonestown is out in what would pass for the burbs here in SF, to get some summer clothes for our little great-niece. There was a super sale at Macy's and I had a discount coupon they sent me - AND - they have a big selection of Hello Kitty - which we ended up with pile of Hello Kitty stuff...... then we headed to the food court for dinner - which after getting there we decided on Hot Dog on a Stick and fries with limeade.... but on the way to that classy dinner we passed a shoe store called Journey's, and they had a big display of Converse shoes on sale, which stopped me dead in my tracks.
After perusing the shoes for a bit I decided I had to have these......
....... the "Owl" pair was the last they had in the store and I took them with me, the "Skulls" pair they only had a size 8, and believe me my big old foot is a couple of sizes bigger than that - so I had the sales guy order me a pair - and it was free shipping - the guy told me it would be a week to 10 days until they came, they got to me in 3 days. Now, I certainly don't need any more Converse, but aren't these great shoes!!! - and - I justified the purchase in my mind by rationalizing it this way.......... since they were on sale that it was like I was getting two pair fro one price!

That's about it for today of my silliness!! Thanks again for stopping by do stop again!!
Take care,

I like your reasoning in having the two pairs....the owl ones are real cute.

Those shoes are 'da bomb, Edgar :)
ReplyDeleteI'm acting like my kids...LOL!
Love the Converse! Especially the sugar skulls pair - I love red and black. They make me think of Mardi Gras too. I like your thought process on getting two pairs as it makes total sense to me!
