Let's talk about discount stores, darlings. Like TJMaxx, for example.
I am not fond of TJMaxx. There are screaming children there. Also, the things I find come in every other size but mine.
Until yesterday, I had ignored Overstock.com for the same reasons.
But. I discovered something interesting yesterday. Overstock.com has no screaming children. And it carries boots. Fancy boots. Expensive boots.
Do they have Frye boots? Why, yes.
Corso Comos? Indeed!
Biviels? Paul Greens? Mais oui.
And each of them calls to me, makes me believe my steps could be ever so slightly bolder, my leaps, higher. And if I accidently took the express train? These boots would turn south, all on their own, and walk me home.
10 maids a-milking:
A little bit like Dr. Seuss's green pants?
I would be IN these boots. Those pale-green pants have NOBODY inside them.
(that is my favorite bit of Seuss)
rethinking my unfounded hatred of overstock.
In case you'd need to return, here's some warning. I bought a pair of size 8 Nine West flats, like I always wear, and since they were too narrow, I ordered an 8.5. Shipping from overstock was about $3 to get them, but to return it's about $10. So now I'll be spending about $20 with nothing to show for it. Wish I had known sooner.
Plus, the shipping is cheap. Why am I willing to spend hundreds of dollars but somehow feel vindicated if shipping is only $2.95?
If only Overstock would get rid of their terrible commercials, I could endorse them more whole heartedly.
i love my frye bonnie boots. [flat, black]
Thanks for the tip, Lynn--I think it's a risk I'm willing to take for fancy boots. :)
Frye Bonnie, you say? Flat? Black? Hmmmm.
Have you been to Loehmann's? It makes me a little sad to think you're in *nyc* mail-ordering shoes.
Are there screaming children in Loehmann's? There were in the Denver one and I wanted to throw boots at them.
Good thought, though. Hmmmm.
Or Century 21? I don't know what to tell you about the screaming children.
