Those Shoes Cost How Much??

Pinterest is a wonderful website to use for shopping ideas. There are so many different wardrobe suggestions, methods to use for accessorizing, and yes.. shoe choices galore.

I love the idea of having many different shoes pinned. I have a couple different boards I've created just dedicated to the idea of shoes. One of my boards is entitled Fun Shoes. The board is full of shoes that I think are the cutest, or fun shoes. They may not be practical, but they don't have to be.

I'm going to tell a short story related to shoes, but you may find this story relevant to other products you find on Pinterest.

One day I found someone pinned a pair of shoes that I absolutely loved. I knew right at the moment I saw them, that I had to have them. I knew it was the perfect pair that I was looking for, and I was ready to buy. I clicked on the shoe pin so that I could navigate to the source of the original pin. The website pulled up for the shoes, and blam.. something hit me right in the face. The price tag!!

These innocent shoes that I HAD to have were $375! Now that may not seem like a lot to some people, but this mother of 3 knows that this price is way out of her budget. I was so disappointed. I fell in love with the shoes, but they were not even a possibility for me.

Although I showed this example with a pair of shoes, this happens to me a lot. I find a purse that ends up being almost $2,000. I love to dream as much as the next girl, but there may be some items not worth pinning unless you want to use them as an idea for a lesser expensive pair you can afford in your budget.
