“Great shoes!”

I was at a party and the handful of women in the circle I joined all looked down at my feet.

“Super cute!” said one.

“Are they vintage?” asked another.

“Thank you!” I said. “Target!”

It’s an endless debate between letting people think you’ve found a unique one-of-a-kind purchase and bringing them in on your great bargain. My frugal side wins every time.

They are SO comfortable, too. (And way cuter in person.) (And vegan.)
