I bought two pairs of footwear last month; one high end pair for formal occasions and one cheaper pair for daily use. I actually went to a lot of shoe stores online and offline to look at the current fashion and compare prices. After two pairs, I still feel as if there are so many more beautiful pairs of shoes that I would like to buy. The only thing that’s stopping me is that I know I will never get to wear them as often as I would like!

This morning, I went online to look for discount footwear and by chance came upon a clearance sale at Kohl’s. Some of you may be aware that Vera Wang, the fashion designer best known for her wedding gowns, has a partnership with Kohl’s where some of her designer items, with a lower-end price are sold exclusively by Kohl’s online and offline.

Simply Vera, as this line is known, received quite a bit of negative comments by people expecting Vera Wang quality at these low prices. Whatever the case, different people have different expectations.

Anyway, Kohl’s is running a clearance sale at their online store and one of the items sold at a discount is Vera Wang’s Simply Vera Urbane Peep-Toe Heels. The original price was $59.99 and it is now sold at $11.99 only. It’s an amazing savings of $40!

Shopping for deals and bargains online is not as easy as it sounds. You know why? Because the stocks go off so fast by the time I write up a post, I would get the “out of stock” notice and I don’t want to publish my post on my blog anymore. Yes, it happened to me a couple of times.

This past week, I bought two pairs of sandals. I bought them from local retailers and not online because I have odd size feet (Size 6.5) making it difficult to shop online. I need to try them out at the store before buying them of they would end up in my closet, unworn.

Anyway, after buying the sandals, I went online to check if I got a bargain. They were already on sale, but you never know. During my web surfing, I chanced upon Target’s clearance sale and I saw this very sweet pair of wedge sandals. You know wedge sandals are really popular nowadays. And the best part is that it is only sold at US$3.74, a discount of 75%. Normal retail price was US$14.99. Tell me this is not a tremendous bargain?
