How Much???

I get Allure magazine each month - it's the least political of the fashion magazines out there. It allows me to see what the other makeup and skin care companies are offering, without having to weed thru TOO much political rhetoric. (There's always a little bit, but it's more easily avoidable).

Quite frankly, most of what I look at are the ads. (Mary Kay even has an ad in this month's Allure!) But, I also take cursory glances at the pages of "high fashion" that are available. I was bowled over by a page of thong sandles - the shoes themselves were cute enough. But the PRICES. Oh, for the sake of pete. Here is an example of how much some of these designer shoes go for. Some of them are as much as $1000. For a pair of thong sandles. I kid you not.

Crazy, huh? Now, listen, I admit that I've never had on a pair of designer shoes. And I will readily admit that they probably fit much differently and feel better than one of my pairs of $15 Target shoes. The quality of materials is in a different league. Whatever.

But you know what? $400? Please. lol...... Never gonna happen my friend. Not even close.

I'm gonna go slip on my comfy little brown suede flip-flops that I just got at Tarjay for $6.99 on sale. They're cute. And I won't get heartburn when Tooter picks one up and uses it for strength training without my knowledge.
