Buying a pair of shoes

Two months ago, I wanted to buy myself a new pair of shoes for work, the kind that I can use anywhere anytime. I have seen pairs of shoes which made my heart skipped, like my feet and those shoes belonged together... nice, comfortable, but a little higher than affordable.

Because of financial constraints, I decided to wait until the 3-day sale.
When it arrived, I only have a thousand to spare for a pair of shoes and I planned to buy two pairs.

Because I want to play smart, act like I'm a wise consumer, I did a little hopping and fitting comparing the shoes from one store to another.

I noticed that those shoes sold below 500 pesos do not look good, too ordinary, and in big sizes. 600 pesos to 800 pesos shoes are those which you cannot wear in a daily basis. And those shoes priced at 900 pesos to a thousand are not perfect, good enough, but buying it is like not shopping on a sale day.

For someone like me who only has a thousand to spare, buying a 50 percent off Charles and Keith sold at 999 pesos is already splurging.

I had no choice, I told myself that I can't leave the mall empty-handed. I spent four hours in looking for my feet's "soulmates," I can't just go home and report back to work the following day in slippers or in those old, dirty, dying shoes.

So, I bought it... with a justifiction that I never really bought any pair of shoes for myself that pricey.
