Sometimes Bad Luck Is Good Luck

Today my beloved patent brogues (the ones I wear all the time) basically fall into pieces when I ran frantically to the bus I was about to miss.
When I got home I browsed lazily through a couple of web boutiqes to see if I could find something remotely similar.

As I did, I stumbled accross these:



They're by Opening Ceremony and reduced from €264.88 to €78.85.
I really didn't have to think twice!
And the best part is that those seriously good quality shoes are bound to last longer than the cheap Topshop ones I broke.

Good deal, really!! I have sth similar, but more crappy. Got them last summer in Heinola, on supersale in Seppälä for 13,75. Last pair, my size :D

Were the Top Shop ones made of manmade material/plastic? I have learnt that plastic shoes don't like it when the thermometer hits below 0. They usually crack and break in the cold. I'm sure these new gorgeous Opening Ceremony ones will last longer. :)

Those are really lovely brogues! I have a two tone pair that I would love to wear more, but I'd really love some in all black like that!

The same thing happened to me a few years back. My favourite thong sandals (with gorgeous blue roses at the toes) broke when I was running for the bus. I've not yet found a replacement, so I've been looking for good strong supper glue to fix them myself. Never give up! The shoes are fab.

Squid said...

Oh no!

Fantastic deal though. I love your style :D I wish I could be as bold as you!

Sal said...

Hurrah! Way to turn that luck around.

Loves, loves, loves! Looking for a pair for myself as well!
