Itse luonnollisesti katselin samalla kauppojen valikoimia ja DinSkossa törmäsin aivaan ihanaan kävelykenkätapaukseen. Tuote oli viimeinen laatuaan ja alennuksessa ja vieläpä oikean kokoinen! Tuntui aivan kuin kohtalo olisi johdattanut meidät toistemme luokse... eli ei sinänsä yllättävää että vakaa aikomukseni oli tuhlata vähiä rahojani erittäin vastuuttomasti tähän ihanaan kenkäpariin, onhan kyseessä kuitenkin vaihteeksi järkevä ja käytännöllinen malli, ja niitä ei hirveästi minun kaapistani löydy. MUTTA VOI KOHTALON IVAA! DinSkossahan yleensä näytillä on vain yksi kenkä ja sen pari pidetään laatikossa varastossa, eli en edes osannut epäillä mitään kenkää sovitellessani, mutta jostain kumman syystä kyseisen ihanuuden pari on eksynyt teille tietämättömille, enkä halunnut ostaa vain yhtä kenkää... jätin liikkeeseen kuitenkin nimeni ja puhelinnumeroni siltä varalta, että seikkailunhaluisempi kenkä palaa parinsa luo.
Söimme Picnicissä lounasta, ja lounaan jälkeen suuntasimme vielä keskustan Sokokselle, josta löysin vihdoin sopivan ja kivan bikinisetin. Sokoksellahan on nyt asiakasomistajapäivät meneillään, eli 15 % alennus rauhoitti vähän omaatuntoa. Vaikka minulla on nyt työpaikka, ei minun silti pitäisi tuhlata kaikkia rahoja nk. turhaan tavaraan... shoppailu on niin petollista, sitä kun jotenkin aina luo uudelle tavaralle tarpeen, vaikka sitä ei alunperin olisikaan ollut. Ah ja voi, onneksi en sentään sortunut tuhlaamaan enempää, on minulla näköjään jonkin verran itsekuria... (ja ihan(i)a ystäv(i)ä, joka ei petä silloin kun itsekuri pettää)
Nyt menen nukkumaan, huomenna on illalla töitä ja päivällä pitäisi vielä ehtiä käydä apteekissa hakemassa lisää allergialääkkeitä ja opiskellakin pitäisi... Kylläpäs elämäni vaikuttaa nyt niin kiireiseltä kun vielä pari kolme viikkoa sitten se koostui lähinnä löhöämisestä, satunnaisesta opiskelusta ja sosiaalisesta elämästä!

Today I and my friend Erica went shopping, although I was mostly there for company and style advice, and Erica was there looking for new Spring and Summer shoes, and she also was doing her very best keeping me from emptying the whole store and my bank account... We were walking around the Helsinki city center for nearly four hours and Erica found her shoes, and some additional, yet very useful things for her wardrobe.
While looking around I couldn't help looking for something for myself as well, and at DinSko (a shoe store chain) I met the most precious pair of brogues, or well, just one brogue but since they keep the other shoe in a box in the basement storage there's nothing strange about it. The pair was on sale, the last one left, and even my size! It was like the fate had brought us together... so it wasn't very surprising that despite of my firm decision to sway away from spending I was ready to take this pretty pair home even if it's completely irresponsible to spend money on such vain things! But this pair is sensible and comfortable, qualities that do not fit most of my shoe collection so I felt like the purchase was justified. BUT OH THE FICKLE FATE! Like I said, they usually keep the other shoe in the storage to prevent people from stealing shoes... well, they couldn't find the other shoe! Naturally I didn't want to purchase only one shoe so I simply gave them my name and contact information should the other, clearly more adventurous shoe return to its partner.
We had lunch (toast and latte for me) and after freshening up we were up to some more shopping, and at Sokos (a big Finnish department store chain) I finally found bikinis that fit and look nice. So now I have a bikini for summer, for all that I'm not a beach-y person. But hey, who can resist a 15% discount? However I shouldn't spend so much money on clothes and such, for all that I have a job now. I don't necessarily -need- any of it, I have more than enough clothes even though it's easy to create a need for anything while shopping... which is why I probably should stop shopping for good. Oh well, at least I didn't spend more than that, so I suppose I have some self-control... (and great friends who never fail me even when I fail myself!)
Now I'm off to bed, since I'm working tomorrow evening and I'm supposed to get some stuff done before work, such as buying more antihistamines and perhaps some studying could be useful too... Seems like I have got myself a real life, which didn't even seem possible a couple weeks ago!
all too perfect!! loving those shoes the most!!

The shoes are so lovely, I'm still waiting for a phone call from the store... the other shoes must be somewhere, right? :D
DeleteLove those shoes!!

They're lovely, too bad the other one is still MIA :(
DeleteI can never resist picking one or two things up while I'm out.. much to my bank account's chagrin. It's the curse of being a woman!
ReplyDeleteYou're so right! I try to keep it at nail polish and small stuff like that, but it definitely takes some proper self-discipline to leave all the nice things to the store!
DeleteOnpa kauniin näköiset kengät! Pidän tuosta pitsimäisestä kuviosta.
ReplyDeleteKauniit kengäthän ne ovat, ja ainakin se yksi kenkä oli todella mukava jalassa... nyt vaan täytyy toivoa, että se toinenkin kenkä löytyy :D
DeleteToivottavasti se löytyy. :) Minullekin on kerran käynyt niin, että kaupan piti soitella perään vasta toisen kengän löydyttyä. Siinä tapauksessa tosin kävi niin, että toinen oli jotenkin erituntuinen jalassa ja jäivät lopulta ostamatta.
DeleteVoi ei! Huonoa tuuria, toivottavasti tällä kenkätarinalla olisi onnellisempi loppu... :)
Deleteall too perfect!! love the shoes!!
ReplyDeleteThe shoes were indeed perfect!
Deleteyummy food!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to resist, when I'm out, I always take at least one piece. Lovely shoes!
ReplyDeletexx
Oh, it's always soooo hard to resist, which why I should never go "window shopping" :D
DeleteYUMMY♥
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Deleteooh looks great! love the last top you posted!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, the bikini top is indeed lovely... now I'm just waiting for the weather to be warm and sunny enough so I can go to the beach or picnic with my friends!
DeleteLove that shoes !!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable, aren't they? :)
DeleteAWW! Ihanat kengät!! Ja tosi herkun näköinen ravintola-annos! :)
ReplyDeleteKiitos, kengät ovat kyllä aivan upeat! Ja Picnicistä saa yleensä aika hyviä annoksia, ihan kohtuuhinnallakin :)
Deletetoo bad they didn't have the other shoe but I guess it's good that then you didn't have to spend more than what you wanted.
ReplyDeletexo erica
That's true :)
Deletei love those oxfords, i've been hunting for a black pair just like it. it sounds simple but no such luck yet :(
ReplyDeleteOh I totally feel your pain! I have been hunting for a pair like those for ages, and I can only imagine it's even harder to find ones in black!
Deletei am sorry that they just had one shoe? Hope they'll find the other one!
ReplyDeleteI was so shocked, who would've thought they'd lose one shoe?! :D
Deleteoh my god, I love this shoe(s)!! They look amzazing, hope they find the other one :)
ReplyDeleteThey are simply the perfect pair of brogues, I was heartbroken when they couldn't find the other one!
DeleteWow!!! I love it!!!

Bikinit näyttää ihanilta, samantyylisiä oon metsästellyt jo hetken :)
ReplyDeleteBikinit löytyivät tosiaan Sokokselta, olivat copella-mallistoa... Hintakaan ei ollut kovin paha, 19,90 liiveistä ja 14,95 alaosasta, jos en väärin muista :)
