Designer Shoes, Up To 80% Off At Amazon
Times are tough here in advicegoddessland (a little less so thanks to all of you who buy through my Amy's Mall links, which I completely appreciate), but if times aren't so tough for you, perhaps you'll want to take advantage of a big sale at Amazon -- designer shoes, 80% off.

FYI, these are winter shoes on sale now -- and if times weren't so tough, now is when I'd be buying. I typically buy everything off-season, because I have my own style and don't follow trends.
Also, I go to the shoemaker on Main and Pico, Alex Shoes, and wear my shoes and boots for years and years. My favorite pair of high-heeled cowboy boots, I've had since 1992. He's been resoling them ever since. My backpack I lug my computer around in, I also bought that year, from The Original Leather Store in New York. It was expensive back then, $99, but I prefer to buy wonderful things that last. And, so far, it's cost me only $150, total, after having Alex put on a new leather tie and fix it up twice. Think of how much you've spent on backpacks alone, over the years, and maybe rethink how you shop.







I bought a Brenthaven computer case about 6 years ago. Paid $160 for it. My friends thought I was nuts.
That thing's been all over the world, and looks every bit as good as it did the day I got it.
American made, at least back then. You get what you pay for.

I agree with the philosophy, especially when it comes to tech. I bought the very best desktop I could afford in '01, and it's still what I use today (with a few tweaks along the way).

I'm with you on the boots! I've been wearing the same boots since 1983, I had no idea when I bought them that they'd last this long! I use my handbags for years and years too.
You can buy shoes and clothes off season so much cheaper, it's worth it to wait.
