I am not normally a super pricey shoe person. Mostly because I pretty much end up taking my dogs with me everywhere (and outside) in every outfit I own (why I find cookies &amp; poo bags in every pocket of every jacket, coat or pair of pants that I own!) Plus I feel I am going tospend a lot of money on a single item, it should be something I will wear a LOT (I really should have crazily expensive hiking shoes &amp; dog-walking gear!)<\/p>\n<p>But these shoes&#8230;I have to admit I have been wanting a pair of Louboutins more than any other brand. There are just so many cute ones!  And I LOVE pink. I know &#8211; so stereotypically girlie &#8211; but I do love pink. Looks on my skintone in pretty much any shade.<\/p>\n<p>I even told husband about these shoes earlier in the day (a sign!) because I was so in love with them. Of course, when I told him they were probably $800-$900 he was very happy that I added &#8220;but I wouldn&#8217;t spend so much on a pair of shoes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Husband &amp; I were walking through the Palazzo Shops after dinner and we walked by Barney&#8217;s and their shoe section is right up front&#8230;and I saw them&#8230;and walked right in and picked them up and I loved them!<\/p>\n<p>The price tag was on the bottom&#8230;I had been dead-on in my guess earlier. They were $865. There was simply no way I could justify that..ever. But I wanted to try them on anyway!! We were here and the salesman was more than happy to help us :)<\/p>\n<p>As soon as I put them on I knew I was in trouble&#8230;helped that I was in a dress and had just spent the day in the sun so was tan. The pink just worked so well. Plus a fresh pedi! :)<\/p>\n<p>Then the salesman said the magic words&#8230;&#8221;they are going on sale on Tuesday and I can give you that price now&#8230;&#8221;. Wha??????<\/p>\n<p>Husband loves a deal. Husband loves when I wear high heels. Husband was in a strangely good mood (proof he might need to relax a bit more as we did today.) But again&#8230;husband loves a good deal and these were now 40% off!!<\/p>\n<p>He asked me if I loved them. I said I did. Salesman agreed they were hot on me (hey &#8211; I&#8217;ll take the compliment even if it was in his best interests!) Husband gave up his American Express card &#8211; whoa!!!<\/p>\n<p>I can definitely say they are the single most expensive item in my closet. But I absolutely love them!!! And now I need to buy a couple dresses to go with them!! (preferably on a really good sale!)<\/p>\n<p>This pic was taken last night. The pink is a more vibrant pink IRL I think but you can see them in their awesomeness :)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/a99kitten.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/05\/l_1600_1200_4aba1858-3e04-41e4-b376-4c27c877b99d.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/a99kitten.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/05\/l_1600_1200_4aba1858-3e04-41e4-b376-4c27c877b99d.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-364\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I saw an ad for these shoes weeks ago.
