Getting a Degree Has Not Improved My Judgement
After finishing the last of my classes, I started collaborating with a fellow Rollins College graduate on a “Graduation Celebration” outing. We decided on reserving two tables at the very swanky Samba Room (an establishment that is irritatingly stubborn about their group seating policies).
Of course, a special occasion calls for a special outfit. This meant that I needed a samba dress and a samba dress I found. At Bloomingdale’s I bought a red Nicole Miller dress that is so sultry, so sexy, so…samba. Don’t be fooled by the malnutrioned model posing, or rather wilting, in front of a colorless sculpture. The dress is positively stunning when filled out in all the right places.
After my purchase, I faced another dilemma: Where in the world would I find matching samba shoes. I headed to Nordstrom and took two steps into the store before I saw a pair of Betsey Johnson shoes that nearly set my panties on fire. They are, for lack of a better word, divine.
You’re probably shocked that I can afford “designer” clothing but that’s where you’d be wrong. Because I so totally can’t. There’s a reason why my credit card always has a balance. It’s called stupidity.

$85 on a dress?! AND SHOES!
*dies*
Granted that IS cheap for designer clothing, but still…
I’m going to go faint now.

Oh no, honey…ahem. Eh, I meant that I pretty much paid $85 for the right shoe and, uh, $85 for the left. Gosh, is it hot in here or just me?

Betsey Johnson is one of my favorite designers, those shoes are darling.
You better watch it, though. Four words: English majors and peanuts.

Peanuts O.o
Oooookay.
I don’t even keep track of designers. I’m poor, it’ best not to tempt myself.

I remember telling myself the same thing, Vanessa but it turns out I’m a total tool.
Anna, Betsey Johnson is amazing and she makes me wish I had the income to support my fetish for her clothing, accessories and shoes.

Sounds like good judgment to me, then again I’m always broke too!

And to think, Croaker, that I expected you to someday support a gold digger like me. Tsk, tsk.

Whoa, I love the dress. And the shoes are just too cute.

Definitely a samba dress! I have to try my best to avoid Betsy Johnson shoes!!! They pull me in like some sort of magnetic force.

It’s impossible to avoid. She is a black hole of fabulousness.

haha, I saw the first comment, and I was like “Wow! $85 is a great price for shoes.”
Your dress (and shoes) are very cute. I always walk by the Betsey Johnson boutique at the mall and think about buying a dress, but I’d have nowhere to wear it.
