After promising myself to stop shoe-shopping (okay, I didn’t really promise, but still), I found myself – surprise, surprise! – shoe-shopping! I know, I know. My self-control is shot to shit. But then, how could I possibly resist these?

They’re the platform clogs of my dreams: studded, brown, and so hideous, they’re actually adorable. I was a bit hesitant to get them at first because I wasn’t sure about the height, but when I tried them on, they were surprisingly comfortable. They do not feel weird at all!

But the best part is I got them practically next to nothing. That’s one of the perks of having a store in Fashion Avenue – I automatically get a 20% discount from the neighbors!

I’m quite nervous about wearing them for the first time, though. They’re comfortable enough to run in, but still scary enough to give me horrifying images of myself falling flat on my face. I’m just going to slowly ease my flats-wearing self back into wearing high heels, starting with these babies. Yes, that sounds like a plan.

Now, these shoes came in a big-assed shopping bag, and I was absolutely terrified to come home and face The Husband with yet another shoebox to add to the pile. So I got him a couple of really cool men’s polo shirts, and I haven’t heard a peep out of him about the shoes. Tee hee. Who says I’m a bad wife?

But really, I think this time, I really will stop shoe-shopping – or any kind of shopping, for that matter! – for a while. I’m off to Manila at the end of November with The Bestie and The Sister, and I’m determined to do some serious shopping then. So from now on I’m going to try my darnedest not to spend my hard-earned blogging money so I can save up for the Manila shopping trip. That is a promise!
