Try on a pair of Jimmy Choo’s shoes! – DONE! Wo-hoo!
Okay, so I’m from Arkansas… And though I have traveled, watched movies, read magazines and shopped at many cool places – this bumpkin had never had on a pair of Jimmy Choo’s shoes. Say that 3 times fast – Jimmy Choo’s shoes – Jimmy Choo’s shoes – Jimmy Choo’s shoes.
It has been on my bucket list since I heard about them. Needless to say there aren’t many places in Arkansas that I have seen them. Okay, I have NEVER seen them in Arkansas – forgive me fellow Arkansans if you have seen them somewhere, I haven’t. Anyway, I went to Florida for my sister’s wedding in October and while we were shopping I found them. Actually, I spotted them – it was like a beacon across the store – we were in Saks Fifth Avenue – looking for my teenie weenie sister some jeans… And I saw them…. I will admit that initially it was a sale sign that caught my attention first. As I headed over there I saw the shoes, thought they looked different and interesting and then – AAAAhhhh – JIMMY CHOO!!!! What? Could it be? Yep, I found Jimmy Choo’s shoes! And I could have looked for some that were more, ummm… well…. More me, but these had found me!
These were the FIRST Jimmy Choo’s I could ever love on! I yelled for my Mom to come over. She was helping my twig sister, loser butt… Hello – she is a size NOTHING, get over here and help your child out who has nothing more awesome in this store to try on other than a pair of Jimmy Choo’s! Please understand, I love my Sisser. I really do love her… And it was her wedding weekend and all, but we had been to a hundred places where she had a thousand things to choose from… These were the only thing that would fit and didn’t make me feel frumpy… Well, other than the 2 Coach purses I bought… Anyway, I digress (and for my DH – both of the purses were on sale!) –
Back to the story - she finally got over there and I told her I wanted her to take my picture. (Keep in mind we are in Saks, so I’m trying to keep it on the down-low so that they wouldn’t make me take off the shoes.) She starts arguing with me over my choice of shoe and if this were on my bucket list, why would I want to have my picture made in those shoes since they weren’t even the most awesome shoe there…. UGH! THEY ARE THE ONES THAT FOUND ME! Finally, she takes the pictures… Then I take the shoes off. She sees how much they cost and all but made a scene again over how they could cost so much – more than our house payments… And people buy them. Not me of course – I took a few pictures to share with you and gently returned them to the box… Elated for my first meeting with Jimmy Choo. J
Dear Jimmy Choo – your shoes are really cool, thanks for the experience, however I don’t think I could justify spending more on a pair of shoes than I do on my house payment. In the event you would like to gift any shoes (preferably not that color and style) – the size is 8.5… Until then I’ll look at my pictures.

Thank you Saks Fifth Avenue for making my day!
P.S. I know the outfit wasn't fitting for the shoes, but it was what I had on. And secondly, the shoes were scuffed on the bottom before I wedged my foot in it.
