Taxes and Shoes

[thehallway]

oi, i have dancing around buying shoes i've coveted for what seems like forever, so i just spent $525 on them. yes, they are italian handmade. yes, i got three pair. yes, they were on sale. yes, i did not pay shipping or tax. yes, i still need to get my taos trulie sandals, and yes, i still covet a pair of the iRi NYC shoes i've been looking at. no, thanks to the GOP tax modifications, i will probably not be seeing my usual refund which terrifies me no end. but, shoes! lordy, lordy, i have issues.
