Major Shoe Score: Nine West "Chameleon"

My hands down favorite thing to shop for is shoes.  I must buy a pair a week these days.  I'm obsessed.  Very seriously obsessed.  I would buy more if I could but I'm running out of room to store them all.  Of course, I couldn't afford all these fabulous shoes if I was paying full price.  I almost never pay full price for a pair of shoes, or any fashion item for that matter.  Behold these insanely cute, leg-lengthening platforms from Nine West.  I first spotted these babies when they were released last spring.  Absolutely loved them and fantasized for a while about buying them.  But then I got caught up in the flow of life...I spent my whole summer abroad in the UK, where I shopped for tons of summer sale discounted goodness that couldn't be found in the US.  And yes I came home with three new pairs of shoes, among many other fantastic finds.  I've shopped a decent bit since my return from across the pond, but these shoes didn't re-appear on my radar until Friday night.  I was out at the Westside Pavillion mall, actually getting a pedicure...LA's weather is still in the triple digits so I'm still in open-toes.  As I passed by Nine West following my pedi, I spotted multiple shelves of clearance shoes, so I had to pop in.  Wasn't expecting to find these in my size, and in fact, the sales girl told me they were out.  But then moments later she returned with a fresh pair - the only pair in my size - and they were still brand new plastic wrapped and all inside the box.  It was serendipity!  They were in perfect condition, a perfect fit, and super comfortable.  The best part...when I first saw these shoes they were selling for $99.  Last Friday I scooped them up for $19.  Seriously.  Even I couldn't believe it.  Just in case anyone's interested, they're out of stock on Nine West's website, but you can still find them here for around $50.
