If you know me at all there are two things you probably figured out pretty quickly. One, I have an addiction to shoes. Two, I have a tendency to be both stubborn and hopeful at the same time. Now, lets combine these random traits with a trip to Nordstroms where I found a fabulous pair of red patent leather pumps named “Girlie” from my favorite designer Stuart Weisman. On sale for 75% off.

Why do I love this particular pair of shoes?  Maybe it’s because I didn’t pay full price or the style, the color, the smart sharp heel.  It could be because they are so unique. I...
