The Perfect Trifecta in a Shoe
A few weeks ago I was shopping at Marshalls. Yes, Marshalls. I told you I'm a Gemini. I do high-end, I do low-end. What's funny is that when Ji does low-end, Ji really does low-end. I get super frugal. In Prada I'll think, how reasonable, these shoes are on sale for only $420. At Marshalls I suck my teeth when a dress is $29.99.
Shopping at these bargain basement places is never fun. One must pysch herself up to even enter such places. What with the harsh lighting, clothes strewn everywhere and mile long lines, it's a wonder anyone shops at these places. But deep down we are all suckers for a bargain aren't we?
On my recent trip into Marshalls, I hit it big with an amazing pair of shoes. Imagine for a moment three fabulous shoe characteristics wrapped together in one. I found such a pair. I swear it's the perfect trifecta - in a shoe.
My trifecta includes: patent leather, wedge heel and a mary jane effect. Lawd! I first discovered the gems when I nearly tripped over them on the floor. I was about to be annoyed until I looked down to see that a gift had been placed before me. I picked them up and nearly squeeled with delight because lo and behold, they were my size -7. I sat down next to a pile of shoes on a bench to try on the trifecta. Rats! The size 7 was too big! What to do? I contemplated still buying the trifecta, however big. But instead, took another lap around the shoes. And thus, there on the 6.5 rack waiting patiently to be discovered, was another pair of the trifecta. I grabbed, I tried on, I purchased the perfect trifecta.
Some of you more serious shoe shoppers may be wondering who designed such a trifecta. I'm not embarrassed to tell you that Franco Sarto designed the trifecta. I have to say that FS is one of the better low-end designers. Unlike other low-end designers, FS is actually decent quality. We all know, a bargain ain't no bargain if you can't wear it due to discomfort -yes?
The kicker to this entire shoe vignette, of course, was the Marshalls price. Imagine finding the perfect trifecta in a shoe all for the bargain price of just $39.99. Now that's smart shopping friends!
