24 9 / 2011

Target’s been in the news lately for the Missoni collection fiasco, but I’m less interested in infamy than tried-and-true; I went into the store yesterday and made a beeline for a section that never disappoints:  the shoe aisle.  

I found a great pair of suede platform pumps that came in red, black, taupe, and gray for only $29.99:

Women's Mossimo® Paisley Platform Pumps - Red

(Mossimo’s paisley suede pumps are my new “Goldilocks” heels…not so high as to be unmanageable, and not so low as to read “dowdy.” Image and price from target.com.)  

My second find was in line with fashion’s fascination with all things fair and feminine:

Women's Xhilaration® Shannon Satin Platform Pumps - Black

(Xhilaration’s Shannon pump is available in silver, black, and red for only $19.99!  This heel is a dealImage and price from target.com.)

I’ve been looking for some footwear in the wine color that is all the rage now that also won’t require a bottle of Pinot Noir to forget the fact that walking around all day in them has caused your feet to turn into blistered meat slabs.  I found what I was looking for in these Merona wedges:

Women's Merona® Milena Suede Wedges - Red

(Merona Milena Suede Wedges available in black, gray, and red for $29.99.  I love items like this that can be adorably appropriate whether you’re stuck behind a desk all day or constantly on your feet!  Warning:  head into the store for the black and gray options, as they appear to be sold out online.  Image and price from target.com.)

To shoe cravings that end with savings,
