Shoes I want, shoes I can afford

And straight out of the gate, let’s go down the rabbit hole together….

My husband will tell you that when shown a group of similar shoes sans designer and price, I will invariably pick the most expensive pair.  I do love good shoes.  Sadly, my bank account could give a flying fig about style, conveniently providing a hard NO when faced with a powerful yearning for the pricey stuff.  When this happens, I go on a furious hunt for something akin to the high end stuff with a less hefty price tag.
