And ..err.. don't tell Elda, I paid full retail price for them too. No discounts, reward points or great deals.In my defence though, they are purple.
What's more, the shops were full of great purple stuff which was a little bit distracting seeing as I was supposed to be buying things for everyone else. Therefore my Mum is getting something purple too; she is a fan so no conflict of interest there. Also there were a couple of nice purple things that I really wanted, just small stuff, and so I decided to get them as Climber's and Cherub's presents to me this year; what? I'm just saving Fixit from the embarrassment of him receiving presents from me and each of the boys, which would then make him grab the (totally great and no doubt well-thought out and spoiling) single solitary present and say heartily and boys this is from ALL of us. I'm only thinking of him.
Gorgeous shoes. Can't see the brand properly though. Where are they from?
ReplyDeleteI completely support shoe shopping. Especially shoes in special colours. Gosh, while you're trudging around buying for all those other people in your life you NEED to reward yourself for your giving-ness.
ReplyDeleteOooh nice!! And very thoughtful of you to consider Fixit like that :)
ReplyDeleteFixit is sooo lucky to have such a thoughtful partner.
ReplyDeleteVery nice shoes, they would have called to me too.

Purple! It would have been criminal to leave them.
ReplyDeleteI think if you are the one doing the trudging around the shops you deserve a present and those shoes are so cute.
ReplyDeleteWe have an eerily similar present buying arrangement here too...
gorgeous shoes & how kind of you to help Fixit out by doing some of his xmas shopping for him.
ReplyDeleteYou know that they look black in the photo right?
ReplyDeleteCan't even think about Christmas yet as we still have two December birthdays to navigate.
I should write out your own list and leave it in a prominent position with all the websites marked for online purchasing [well I would if I had the time and the gall!]
Cheers
This is my calling card or link"Whittereronautism"until blogger comments get themselves sorted out.
You are *totally* doing him a favour. No doubt about it.
ReplyDeleteAnd love the shoes. Purple. Beautiful.

Aw. Fixit should be grateful to have such a thoughtful partner! (Didn't realize Tracey had said virtually the same thing until I had typed that.... but I'm sticking with it anyway)! Shoes are essential. A necessity. Particularly when shopping.
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs at least one pair of purple shoes...so....no guilt!
ReplyDeleteMy other motto along with "Housework makes you ugly" ...is.... " A woman can never have too many pairs of shoes"
ReplyDeleteI live by both!!!! And I am all the more happy for it!!!
Love the shoes
Wow; those are both pretty and comfortable-looking! Not that either of those issues entered into the sacrifice you're making for the good of Fixit, mind you.
ReplyDeleteYou really are tooo good to Fixit! haha.
ReplyDeleteThose shoes look lovely, & after all, you always think about shoes while trudging about shopping!
I think you are such a generous darling for thinking of Fixit like that.
ReplyDeleteTruly.
You do know that wearing purple shoes makes your feet more intelligent?
ReplyDeleteIts a fact.
Try dancing in your new shoes and see what happens.
Hope your inspection went well and your rent didn't go up ....
Never pass up an opportunity to buy the perfect pair of shoes.
ReplyDeleteIt's an act of kindness to Fixit to buy gifts to yourself from the boys. Think of all the guilt and embarrassment you are saving him from.
Oooh, lovely shoes!
ReplyDeleteFixit is a lucky man.
Shoe shopping is a life essential and those are really cute shoes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a girl! I hope he appreciates you, many women would expect HIM to do the gift shopping for her.
ReplyDeleteAnd I just bet he feels like the king of the world the first time you go out with him wearing those purple shoes. It will be a toss up to see what he looks at more, you, or the shoes. I just hope he remembers to look where he is going too.
