The Schuh sale also started this week. This has actually rather upset me because:
a) There are about a hundred pairs of shoes I’d like to buy from it (and I’m not exaggerating), but I’ve promised myself I won’t buy any more shoes now, at least until NEXT payday.
b) This happened:
Schuh ‘Garda’ wedges, £39.99
And I paid full price for them. Don’t you just HATE it when that happens?
Here are some more shoes I’d buy if it wasn’t for that pesky ban:
Green ‘Prince’ platforms, £39.99
Yes, I know they’re green. But they’re NOT SUEDE. I don’t have green shoes that aren’t suede. Enough said.
Schuh ‘Thelma’ courts, £39.99
Just adorable, especially with one of those 50s style skirts I’m currently obsessed with.
Schuh ‘Cleo’ heels, £34.99
These aren’t something I’d generally go for – they’re a little too clumpy at the front – but they’re available in two different fabrics, and something about the quirky prints and chunky shape reminds me of Miu Miu’s collection from last season.
Schuh ‘Pretty Tie’ court shoes, £39.99
Minnie Mouse shoes. But in a good way.
And now I’m going to go and take all my credit cards and throw them into a fire, so I can resist the temptation of these, and all of the other beautiful shoes in this sale. I’ll be weeping on my bed, if anyone needs me…
same thing happened to me 🙁
Sucks, doesn’t it? I suppose I should be grateful it didn’t happen the very next day or something – that happened to me last month, with New Look: so annoying!
The next day is definitely more annoying, but it really does suck at any time.
Ahh I used to work for New Look, and as long as the customer still had their receipt we would normally honour the sale price, return the shoes, re-sell them to you for sale price and refund the difference! Might be worth a try if this ever happens to you again! X
It wasn’t actually shoes, it was just a little jacket from the kids department, so it wasn’t very expensive, but I was still a bit miffed… I was off on holiday the next day, so I didn’t have time to go back, but I will bear it in mind!
Ooh, a little bit tempted by the ‘Cleo’ style as I was already interested in that one. I know what you mean about the clumpy fronts, but tbh I find that most Schuh shoes look that way on the website due to the way they angle the camera – Kurt Geiger do the same. I really don’t get it as they look SO much better in real life!
You’re right – I’d never actually thought of that before, but yes, the shoes DO almost always look better in person!
Those Thelma courts are calling to me. I can here them all the way down here.
