On Returning Taryn Rose Shoes…

If you know me, you know that I love shoes.

When I was in Las Vegas a few weeks ago at Blogworld, I decided to go shopping and found a Taryn Rose shoe store in Ceasar’s Palace. I was excited.  I had one pair of Taryn Rose shoes in my closet and they were extremely comfortable.

That night in Vegas, I bought two more at full price. (But don’t tell anyone because you know what they say about Vegas…)

One pair was black suede with heals and a cute little puffy pom pom on top with a sparkly jewel in the pom pom.  The other pair was short leather boots.

I was so excited to wear the little black shoes that I wanted to wear them all the time.  After the third time wearing them, though, the little jewel fell out.

I called the store where I purchased the shoes. “One of the jewels in the pom pom fell out of my shoes,” I told the store manager in Las Vegas.

“Well, we no longer have those shoes in stock,” she told me. “We’re actually closing this location.”

“Really?” I asked, ” I was just there a couple of weeks ago.”

She told me to hold on and when she came back on line, she told me that there is a store in Manhattan (it figures, I go to Vegas buy shoes only to find the store is a few blocks away from my Manhattan office!).  She said that they were holding the shoes for me there.

So the next time I was in Manhattan, I returned the shoes and got another pair with no hasle.  That was nice!

The next day I was on line and got a message from Ruelala.com (an online discount shopping site) that Taryn Rose was having a sale.

My heart raced. I clicked on the site and what was the first thing I saw?

The black suede shoes with the pom pom!  And get this, they were 1/4 of the price I paid for them in Vegas!

Of course, I had to order two more to level out the price to bring down the purchase price of four shoes!
