Staysfit, a shoe sale at Nordie's is one of the toughest temptations known to man! There are some really good prices. Maybe if you feel weak you could call your DD and have her look online with you so that she can tell you why you don't need shoe X—or maybe she would say, "Actually, I think this would be good for you!" Free shipping, free returns... Sorry, I'm probably not helping. It's just really annoying when shopping fasts occur during really good sales.
Laurie, I love cognac too! I did a mood board for fall, and cognac came up a lot. I wore them to church today and did well. They are very easy to walk in. I did have to go a half size smaller than my usual; I think the shoes run a bit big.
Kiwigal, thanks! I thought they would be versatile too. I wore them with a skirt today and plan to try them with jeans soon. I want to get as much wear out of them as possible before the cold weather sets in.
Joy, thank you! Since I'm only 5'2", I'm excited to have a pair of superhigh heels that doesn't kill my feet.
