$1.75 for Badgley Mischka's

I;m not kidding and yes, I know it's a little unbelievable but read on you'll understand in a few.

For my birthday this past September I received a $100 Gap giftcard and was told that I could use at any of their sister stores, i.e. Old Navy, Banana Republic Athleta or Piperlime. Seriously, I can buy fabulous shoes with my Gap giftcard! To say the least I was excited. I began the search for an awesome pair of wedding shoes and fell in love with these babies...

I was in love, my heart melted. But then I saw the price which at the time was like $150 or something like that and even with the giftcard I didn't want to shell out $50 for them because I just knew I could get a better deal if I was patient. So I stalked the website almost everyday, wondering if they would have a sale or some special promocode that I could use...but nothing. Until one day in November, it happened, they were on sale for $119 and there was a promocode for 20% off! I scooped them up with no hesitation, and with the giftcard I paid a whopping $1.75 for my pair of Badgley Mischka Hyde wedding shoes. I was on cloud nine and couldn't wait until they were in my hands.

When they arrived I tried them on and pranced around for bit, showed my mom and ignored my brother who thought I was crazy. But I only had them on for a good 5 minutes and my feet were throbbing! How was I going to make it through an entire day? I reminded myself that they were new, you just have to break em in, they'll be fine. So I tried them on at least once a week for about a  month. But I had to be realistic, they were just too narrow and there's not much I can do about that and they probably weren't going to get any more comfortable than they already were.

I waited a while but I returned the shoes last week. I thought I had one piece of my wedding day attire figured out but now it's back on my to-do list. I really didn't want to return them but I know that I can find a more comfortable and comparably attractive shoe, so I'm back to stalking Piperlime again. 

Wish me luck!
