As a first post, I figured I should stick to the name of the blog so my options were either make up or mark downs. Naturally I went shopping today (similar to most other days) and happened to find a great mark down so it was an easy decision for me. Mark down it is.

I decided to venture into DSW because I remembered that I had a gift card from literally YEARS ago that I was curious about. Something you'll learn about me quickly is that I don't generally mess with the 'full price' items, so like basically every other time, I walked straight to the clearance section. I had no idea what I was looking for (other than a great deal) until these jumped right out of the box at me. Steve Madden is one of my favorite shoe designers so when I saw that name etched on the box, I knew I had struck gold. Now is where it gets good. DSW was having extra percentage off of the clearance items based upon the color of the price tag. Red was an extra 70% off....the already clearance price. These shoes were originally $99.00, on sale for $59.94 and with the additional percentage off they rang up $17.99! Such a great deal! I tried them on in the store and then walked around my house when I got home to test them out and to my surprise, they are super comfortable. They zip up the back so they're easy to get on and off and have the perfect amount of heel on them. Not to mention, my gift card had $20 on it. My day couldn't have gotten any better.

So go get yourself some new shoes!
