Today, a good friend and I ventured Day 2 of the Army&Navy Shoe Sale. Even though the sale officially started at 8:00 am on April 22, 2009, the store was still jam packed with ladies (and the occasional poor boyfriend who got dragged along into the mess) trying on shoes, yelling shoe sizes at eachother and screaming in joy (or horror, depending on who you are).
gThere were definitely a lot of shoes and selection to try from, and I also noticed that one must be a good shopper with a keen eye for style to be able to find something great. One also must be prepared to look high and low, because the treasure can be anywhere in the store. Backless sandals, flipflops and squaretoed flats went from $9.99 CAD to $14.99 CAD. Fringed boots, pumps, wedges and moccassins ranged from $29.99-$49.99. Surprisingly, I didn't see any Michael Kors or BCBG Max Azria that they advertised. Maybe they were all gone by Day One? Actually, there weren't any familiar brands except for maybe RocketDog. Bummer.
They call it the "Legendary" Shoe Sale (Don't mind the image, it's from a couple years ago). But I've been to better shoe sales, and I've seen better quality shoes. But all in all it's a ladies event worth going to, because I find that if you do end up finding something you could definitely consider yourself lucky. Every year women line up errr-lay in the morning to get a glimpse of a shoe of their liking. But for me? One Fashionista says...maybe next time. I don't give up easily, so you'll see me there again next year. For real, though. The bargains are decent, the variety...ditto. After all, a girl can never have enough shoes, and an excuse to shop and go out? Who could say no?
