Why sample sales can break your heart.
Heaven knows I am no evil stepsister, but this
evening I was sorely tempted to lop off a heel (or several
toes).
Sample sales usually feature just one of each style; the distributor's sent the samples for free by the manufacturer, then the distributor gets to order for their retail outlets based on the samples. It's just my luck that I am NOT shoe sample size-friendly.
Pimp those sneaks, why don't ya?
I drooled over many pairs of sneakers one size too small for me, feeling afterwards like the poor little matchgirl. My sister (who is neither a step nor evil) said there was a lesson in there somewhere. I'm sure the lesson will be something like "history teaches you nothing" and the differential of x over why me, multiplied by an imaginary number whose roots lie somewhere in China.
