  • Babydot's post makes me itch for new shoes. Shoes, I love shoes! My favorite kind: Mary-Janes.


    Did you ever see this commercial? There's a lady putting a mark on a shoe box every time she wears a pair of her shoes. Then this brilliant equation: Cost of Shoes / # of Days Worn = Real Cost of Shoes. Simply brilliant!


    I love that Zappos allow you to view the shoes from all angles. Brilliant! Yes, "brilliant" is the word of the day. I probably won't act on it... but I think these two pairs are just lovely. But then... when I think about that equation... and plus, free shipping both ways...

    I like the detail and the color.

    These are so cute! But they are too shiny. If only the material was different.


    Okay, I realize that many of my posts are pointless or trivial. But did want to share with you that lovely equation; for anyone who's ever been guilt-ridden from buying a pair of shoes that you paid more than you normally would have.

  • very very cute shoes!!!!!!!!! i love shoes too! and i know the commercial youre talking about - i thought that was a great idea too! you know, sometimes the most pointless posts are the most fun to read!

  • Fran loves Zappo's too. She bought 8 pairs a month or two ago, and returned 4, but the 4 she kept are definitely keepers. I like them too (that's saying a lot from a guy who usually doesn't pay a lot of attention to shoes).

    Zappos = A++++ ... no shipping&handling both ways (even on returns!)

    the online reviews, according to fran, are great too!

  • I have a pair of shoes that I have worn to NO END... and as ratty as they are getting, I just LOVE them.  So I must've maxed out that equation at some point.  :)    I think about you a lot - I'm sorry I've been MIA, I still have a dinner to make up to you!  Things are really busy for me til towards the end of this month, but after that, let's definitely hang out again!

  • i love zappos! i've never actually bought anything from there tho but the site is pretty nifty!  luv the shoes!  tho i'm a retard and can't walk in those heels

  • mary janes are wonderful.  love the last pair.  if you go to marshalls/tjmax, a lot of times they'll have really cute shoes for cheap :)   but you have to dig through a lot of junk.. i like to think of it like a treasure hunt

  • hey, that's how i rationalize my purchases of gadgets! =)

  • you can spray paint your shoes and make them not shiny

  • sometimes..the pointless and trivial entries are the most entertaining=D i love all ur entries judy!!!

  • love zappos and mary-janes! so girly.

  • man, haha.. i have shoes that cost me 50 bux that i've worn almost every day for 3 years.. real cost of shoe = 5 cents! hehe

  • I think I should start doing the "real cost of shoes" so that Frank asks me why I need yet another pair of black shoes, I can show him how the old pair was really worth it

  • you hate shiny shoes? i don't like them either.......it draws too much attention

  • hi judy! i answered your question in my comments section.

  • oooh, i like the bottom pair. thanks for shopping for me.
