i'm no imelda

I've wanted a pair of red flats for awhile.

I'm not a big fan of red

but it has it's place

Like with a cute pair of black pants with a french hem

or some rolled up denim.

A nice burst of colour

in an otherwise dull palette.

I found these:

It's the Amita flat from Banana Republic.

I've kind of started a love affair with Banana recently.

Their stuff is generally good quality

and you should never buy anything full price

because they have crazy sales 

all

the 

time

So I checked out the Amita

and wasn't sure

until I saw

"attention Canadian shoppers. As of May we will no longer sell shoes online."

WHAT?

You may think -

So? Get your booty to the mall, yo!

(I don't know why I'm typing / talking to myself like that. I'm really tired)

Except that I cannot shop in a mall for shoes like a normal person

because apparently I have feet like ice floes

and I'm not worthy of in-house stock of most stores.

They only carry up to size 10 in the stores even though all of their shoes go up to size 11.

(Nine West does this too. Don't even get me started on them!)

Now I realize that no one wants to see me get on my soapbox yet again about my monster feet

but I was seriously disheartened by this development.

The only good news?

The shoes were on sale for $94 and I got an additional 30% off.

So that's something.

Sheesh.

Happy May all.

big foot

I want these.

I can't find them in my size

(big foot size)

but I'll continue to search.

I'd shrink my feet,

if I could.

(just not in my size.)

Banana Republic has been having some killer sales lately.

I bought the previously mentioned orange hobo

and I have to say I'm pretty happy with it.

It's good quality for the most part 

and, much to my chiropractor's chagrin,

I can carry a ton of stuff in that sucker.

Another item I'd been eyeing on the Banana site is their ballet flats.

As you may recall, I hate shopping for shoes because it generally leads to disappointment

but when Banana had a 30% off sale

I ordered them up.

I decided to go for this faux snakeskin pattern, thinking they would go with most things.

Success!

They fit true to size and are really comfortable.

Price?

$98 - 30%!

No shipping because they were over $50!

Would I order a pair in another colour? 

You betcha.

I just have to wait for another super sale.
