I know, I know. Miss Webb said not to shop during sales because it is easy to succumb to cheap things that you don't need.
However, I did pretty well. I bought a total of 5 items for less than $50. And 2 of them are things I actually planned on getting. A pair of aviator sunnies for $13 (as opposed to RayBan's $139! It was on sale. Cheh..I just want the shape mah wtf) and a dress for less than $10. I bought a T-shirt and 2 tanktops because they were cheap :(
While waiting for the bus sometimes, I always see these ads for Ecco shoes. Supposedly the comfiest shoes ever wtf.
And now as I am planning on walking a lot more, I am thinking of investing in a good pair of walking shoes. So there I was, shopping around and comparing prices.
First I tried Birkenstock. Google it and found this outlet store selling discontinued Birkenstocks at a discount.
Found 2 pairs that I like but they do not take online order. Only phone orders wtf. So I sent in an email enquiry.
Anyways, back to today. I was walking past Pitt St Mall when I saw Ecco from the corner of my eyes.
Good walking shoes - comfy. Comfy- Ecco. Therefore Ecco = good walking shoes.
There I saw this pair of shoes.
Truth be told, it's obviously not the prettiest pair of shoes. Looks bland and totally BLAHHHHH. This is just a pic I took off the website. The store actually has them in really vibrant colours like orange, red, dark magenta, turquoise, black and white.But the minute I slip my feet in those babies, I was in heaven I swear.
The material was super soft, my feet was properly cushioned and I feel like I could walk a marathon in them. Super love!!!!!
I tried on red at first but it was too Ronald McDonald, orange was too bright, turquoise - nah..., black - blah, white - will get dirty easily so I settled on the dark magenta. It's bright but not garish.
Again I asked myself - do I really need a $200 pair of walking shoes?
I mean, I use the $25 black shoes from Kmart for work and it has served me very well. As opposed to the super high quality ones Jasmine and Julie bought from Myers which cost like $100+ yet they still have to replace it after like 6 months.
They didn't have the colour I wanted in my size :((
The SA said she could order one pair for me but it will take abt 2 weeks before I get it.
So I walked out the store, still thinking abt the shoes. 20 mins later, I went back and placed the order.
Oh well. No turning back now. Comfy shoes, I shall wait til you arrive in my arms *excited!!*
******
I got my payslip today and Westin forgot to pay me for my Thurs shift which is 10.5 hours.
Luckily I keep track of my hours otherwise $200+ will go into their pocket just like that. Hmph.

Oh yeah, my uncle is also coming to Sydney this week or next week I'm not sure. I think I will take them to Westin for breakfast/brunch. I never had breakfast there. Only WORKED there before. Should be good :)
