Knot so fast


Bargains come along only so often. Case in point (or on pointe, to be more specific): the Lilly warehouse sale of two weeks ago featured the Knot Your Typical Ballet Flat in quilted gold.
In a rare burst of sartorial retail indecision and self-control, I passed over the $30 offering. I can only attribute my temporary insanity to having awakened at 3:30 am to get there (this was now 8:30 am), only to lose all sense and cents-ibility when the Goddess of Mammon handed me a sure savings opp. Why save when you can pay retail?

And so, compounding my initial lapse in judgment, I recently caved and purchased the aforementioned flat online at a smidge off full price...but a good many times the warehouse tag.
Knot so smart. Desperate people do desperate things.

Digging for gold,
ABL
