Buy the Orange Shoes

         This blog post is a bit of a stretch when it comes to saving money.  I bought shoes yesterday at DSW.  I bought them in the clearance section for 30% off.  I checked to make sure I did not have any rewards coming or that there weren't any coupons online that I could use.  All the above is using good money saving strategy.
        I have quite a bit of black and white in my fall wardrobe for school.  I went looking for some fun black, white or black and white sandals kinda like this.

     While I was searching the clearance section I found some great orange sandals.  I tried them on and I absolutely loved them.  I put them back.  After all I was here for black/white sandals.  I found some black ones that I liked (not loved).  I had to make a call before I checked out to let my guy know what time to expect me.  When I called I told him (like he cares) that I had found black sandals.  He said, don't you already own black sandals?  After I hung up I realized that I had black sandals at home that are OK and I was replacing them with other black sandals that I liked (not loved).  I did not have orange sandals at home.  I loved the orange ones!  I put the black sandals back and got the orange ones!

       The orange sandals were $20 more than the black ones.  I could not be happier with my choice.  I almost can't wait to go back to school so I can wear them...almost.  Sometimes you gotta just go with the Orange Shoes!
