The shoe gods were in my favor a couple of weeks ago, and I have to share this story, because let's face it, the Mesiah of all things shoes is Christian Louboutin. For years I have been plotting ways to find a brand new pair that I could afford. I even considered a savings account just for Loubs bc they almost never go on sale, (that lasted for about a day), bad idea, so how did I find these $750 shoes for $250...
On a thursday night a girlfriend told me about a sample sale in Soho on Sunday that was said to have Loubs, Manolos, Prada shoes etc, for $200. The sale started at 1 and we got there around 11. I was about 30th in a line that wrapped around the block. Hundreds of equally as shoe desperate girls waited with me for what was possibly the worst sample sale ever. It was SUCH a dissapointment. What little they had was used, beat up, and ugly. All of my fellow shoppers were leaving distraught as well. I thought it was my chance and clearly it wasn't.
So to walk off my anger I decided to stroll to Tribecca and explore and then go to the World Trade Center. Naturally I ended up back in Century 21. I had come to grips with the fact that I wasn't going to find affordable Loubs and low and behold, they had ONE gorgeous pair and I just happened to be in my size. Lucky me. I guess my hard work and patience paid off because I now have the perfect red soled pair of classic Christian Louboutin pumps and paid $249! Boo yah!
i love it! you inspire me to want to go to Century 21!!
