Apricot Mood Kid Shoes

I finally was able to buy my Marc Jacobs Apricot Mood kids shoes. (Previous blog: http://poogies-shtab.blogspot.com/2008/08/sigh-im-in-love.html)
I've been checking eBay often after losing an auction for a pair of shoes for my good friend/coworker Ann. It was a totally stupid reason (I put in my big about 40 seconds before the auction closed and I received a stupid message saying that seller required that my eBay account and Paypal account are linked...which I thought they were). The shoes sold for $27 and Ann was willing to pay $40.
So I keep checking every day or so to see if they've posted those same shoes again...and still nothing. But one day, the Wednesday before our last payday, I was on there and those Apricot Marc Jacobs shoes were for sale. In my size, on a Buy it Now. I knew that was a sign that I needed those shoes. I've been waiting since January or so and there was no way I was going to pay $294ish. I got them for MUCH cheaper and they're just so damn cute. I get compliments from random women on all 3 pairs of my Marc Jacobs.
I had bought 2 pairs of Steve Madden shoes and those things HURT. I gave both pairs away within the past two days because they hurt so badly. This wasn't the "I need to break these shoes in" kind of pain, it was the "I'm never going to be able to wear them because there's something about the way they fit" kind of pain.

I'm trying to purge the shoes I don't wear. Some that I'm keeping, like my Victoria's Secret shoes, are not that comfortable (in fact, I think the only 2 pairs of really uncomfortable shoes are the Victoria's Secret ones and my really high leather-like boots)...but I think Victoria's Secret shoes are just meant to be worn for a short amount of time... ;)
Eventually I'll post pics of all the shoes. I think I've gotten a good number of them posted. My coworkers and friends are making fun of my new found Marc Jacobs obsession. These shoes are pretty comfortable for as tall as they are (just like other heels basically and I'm comparing them to flats) and they look GOOD. How often do random women come up to another woman and compliment her? I do it when I see a woman wearing something beautiful. I realize that I like it and it makes me feel good and I hope the other women feel as good when I tell them that they've got something on that's really beautiful. =)
