I feel like a princess today - all because I found a pair of shoes online, which needed to be bought. So they got bought. Not that I need shoes. But they had my name on them.
Going back to work tomorrow, it seemed a good time to buy a par of shoes - not that I need them, but I wanted them. And good work shoes are hard to find at the moment.
These were listed on Facebook marketplace last night. Size 9 (well, that's me - I'm a standard size nine in all but runners), black and white brogues. Lace up. Hand made. Italian leather. Small heel. Wooden sole. R.F. Page brand. Retail, I think I'd be payng a couple of hundred dollars for them.
Bought them off a nice lady in Toorak second hand for $33. She was selling a lot of stuff - but these spoke to me.
Lunchtime saw me navigating the back streets of Toorak to collect these charmers, slowing for dodgy drivers (and there are a lot of them in Toorak) calling a number and changing $33 in cash for these beauties.
I would have paid a bit more.
They fit like a glove (now that I've wiped them out wtih dettol and sprayed a bit of anti-fungal stuff in them).
They're precious. And will go with all sorts of thigns. And they're really funky.
And now I am sorted with work shoes.
I'll be selling a heap of near new boots and shoes at the Camberwell Market in a few week's time.
But tonight I'll go to bed happy.
