Enter Tory Burch. Yes, TORY BURCH. At rock bottom prices. When I saw the little "T" emblem smiling up at me from the shoe racks... I may have audibly starting mumbling. Something to the effect of "T-tt-ttt-tory B-bb-bbb-burch?" I found three infuriatingly cute pairs. Wanna see? I tried them on and shamelessly took pictures right there in the store... if I can't have them in my closet, at least I can have pictures of me wearing them.
Cute magenta (they look orange in the pic... but weren't), basket-y, sling back flats. $85.00
Next up, Tory Burch Flats in black patent... $69.00
These I could just cry over... Tory Burch wedge/platform sandal again in black patent... $79.00 I had to take a top and a side shot... excuse the pedicure (or lack thereof, it is February in Michigan after all).
Would you even believe my strength that I put them right back on the shelf and marched right out of the store (stopping only to check out the handbags quick of course... this is research people - important stuff!) So tonight I am sad. But proud.
And there is hope, I will find amazing shoes there next time and likely the time after, etc. After all I have scored some seriously good shoes from that particular Nordstrom Rack in the past... Michael Kors, Donald Pliner, Steve by Steve Madden and plenty others.... pretty much every pair I own.
