So I go downtown today after work to see my friend's tattoo progress and say hey to my pal Dave at Bluetile skate shop. As I'm walking into the store, I hear this guy behind me calling "excuse me!" which means, of course, that he only wants money or sex, because what else do people on sidewalks downtown want? So, being the streetwise broad that I am, I saunter into the store and head to the back to shoot the breeze. A few minutes later, here comes the sales guy to say that the sidewalk man has followed me into the store because his girlfriend really wants to know where I got the shoes I was wearing. Wow!
- What a great dude. (I felt like a jerk for not stopping earlier. I'm sure he didn't want to have to shoe-stalk me into a store)
- What a great boost to my craptastic day at work
- What a great story since the answer is...
The clearance rack at K-Mart. That's right, Blue Light Special time. (Ok, they weren't true blue light specials, but close enough.) K-Mart is not my usual source for shoes (or really anything for that matter), but I happened to be in there and see said cute shoes for $19.99 . I'm always one for a bargain and I never like to pass a shoe aisle without stopping. Here's how I wore them today (clothes are approximate. I do not actually own $325 sunglasses):
