Still Lusting....

Ever since I stumbled upon these boots while visiting my in laws in Phoenix last November, I cannot stop thinking about them. While shopping the Betsey Johnson store in search for a new purse for my sister, I saw the sales associate wearing these fabulous boots: their are part boot, part open toe heel was just screaming " look at me." Being a shoe fiend, the last thing I needed was a pair of black boots, so I turned my attention away from them. When the sales associate stopped me in mid sentence and informed they also came in baby pink, and immediately I was drawn in. And when I tried them on, they were both so comfortable and chic, it was almost fate instructing me to buy them. The price tag, however, was not so appealing, $199. I kept trying to justify to myself the purchase, but it always went back to my simple desire to have them. This was November, and I would be back in March, so I was sure they would be on sale then. I went back in April only to see they were still fully priced, and so, I thought to myself, " Who wears boots in Phoenix in the Spring?!" But then I remembered how cute they were, and answered my own question. Ever since then, I have been on this incessant search looking for a place or website that would sell the boot for a better price. The best I could find was $135, and was about to type in my credit card number when I decided to search one last time. At 11 pm I typed in my search, " Betsey Johnson Wolford Bootie," only to find that Amazon.com was selling them for $70. An independent seller was selling them insisting they did not like the way they fit her feet and Betsey Johnson did not allow her to return them. And now seven months later, they will be mine in 7-10 days.

I found them in baby pink on the DSW website:
