Espadrilles

When I was in Miami a few weeks ago, I went into J. Crew,  www.jcrew.com and fell in love with these espadrilles.  I couldn't justify buying them there for $118 and then dragging them back with me, so I figured if I still loved them when I got home I would visit my local store or go online to buy them.  I was thinking, as I was trying them on, that they were super cute but $118 for shoes made out of straw (I mean really, was each piece of glitter glued on one by one?) was probably not a smart purchase.  When I got home I visited the shoe again and still couldn't justify the price.  So, I continued with my life sans the sparkly espadrille....until one magic moment when I was in the Nine West outlet and there were these wannabe sparkly espadrilles in more of a sequin version for only $19.99, my kind of price for a trendy, fragile shoe.  Although I still prefer the ones from J.Crew these will have to do.  They are cute and not bad in the comfort department.  My daughter says they are blinding in the sunlight. Ok by me.
