Do I Buy Shoes or Do I Buy Groceries?

Just kidding.  I love shoes, but not enough to starve for them, haha!

About this time last year, I posted here and here about Kohls and Shoes.  I love Kohls for their trendy yet affordable spring and summer shoes.  I love Kohls for their customer service.  I love Kohls for their stinking coupons that I can't keep track of (but they will let you "use" even if you don't have them!)  In my shopping cart:

SONOMA life + style Espadrilles Sacred Heart Arven Espadrilles
Bucco Chassie Peep-Toe Platform Wedges ELLE Platform Wedges
Unionbay Powder Platform Wedge Sandals Dana Buchman Espadrilles
Mudd Platform Wedge Espadrilles Simply Vera Vera Wang Platform Wedge Sandals

Shoes Row 1: Sonoma, Sacred Heart. Row 2: Bucco Chassie, Elle. Row 3: Union Bay, Dana Buchman. Row 4: Mudd, Simple Vera Vera Wang. (shoes found here, then sort by brand!)

With the sales and coupon code SUNSHINE20 (for 20% off, expires May 3) my total is $253.47. 

While it's great that I'm getting 8 pairs of shoes for less than $300, I could also take that $250 and save it towards a pair of fabulous Christian Louboutins.

 

 Hmmmm....decisions, decisions.

What do you think?  Affordable, trendy shoes for one season, or save my money for a pair of shoes that will last me a lifetime (you better believe I will still be wearing those Louboutins when I'm 80!)?

  4. You are right. Hunger pains can be quite excruciating and seemingly last forever though ;)

  7. Love love love the first two pairs! Very summery, plus a neutral will go with everything.. And the stripey blu is instant outfit by itself. I'd get those 2, if I could! and I'd save the rest for - say - more dresses or skirts, or a new bag, maybe... :)
    I'd say no to the Loub. I will never ever spend that much on a single pair of shoes - but that's me :)
