Materialistic

Anthropologie is a weakness of mine. I could spend hundreds of dollars on frivolous things and not even feel bad about it. I spend hours looking at their website, just dreaming of owning every. single. thing. It was always a general lusting, until I found these.

Try and tell me those aren't the most darling shoes you have ever seen. I would wear those with EVERYTHING. There were almost 30 customer reviews, the most I've ever seen for one item, and they were all positive. {ALL OF THEM}. Everyone agreed that they were the most comfortable shoes, they could wear them for a 10 hour work day without a problem. Other reviews said you could change out the ribbon and that they looked even cuter with a red or yellow silk bow. Completely convinced of my absolute undeniable irrevocable need for these shoes, I prepared to purchase immediately. But of course, they were out of every size bigger than a 7.5. Of course.
So I called the store in Salt Lake and they were out.
So I called customer service and had them check every store in the country, and they were out.
Every single store.
Defeated, I decided to move on, start the grieving process you know? So today I thought I would look at them one more time. Hoping that maybe they suddenly weren't as perfectly adorable as I know they are. And there it was. A size 8.5. Good thing I already have an account created to order from them, because within ten seconds I was looking at my order confirmation. In some warehouse somewhere, my beautiful perfect pair of shoes is being packaged and shipped to me.

I love when stories have happy endings.
