The usual price is about $90 and NEVER on sale or at thrift stores. This is a good challenge for me. I WILL not give up. I shall send photos or post on my blog when I find those $ 11.90 or less shoes.hannahdrewdashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07015987833900798790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35612423.post-24298965016033702792009-06-16T15:22:16.161-04:002009-06-16T15:22:16.161-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.webmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13131564680398167898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35612423.post-11458178461023869222009-06-02T00:12:58.107-04:002009-06-02T00:12:58.107-04:00I'm a real frugal shopper so most of my outfits ar...I'm a real frugal shopper so most of my outfits are in that range or just a tad bit higher(average is about 30 including accessories, unless I'm wearing a charm bracelet or long necklace heh).
