Jimmy Day- January 2nd, 2008

The highly anticipated day finally arrived! My dad came down to Nordstrom today and we did some settling of our bet. As many of you know back in June, I blogged about my successes so far in keeping my own resolution for the year of not buying any shoes. I was doing this for myself and not for anyone else. However on July 3rd, my dad said this...

I just noticed your silly posting. How can one be "in love with shoes" and not purchase any. I would be willing to bet a pair of Jimmy Choo's you'll be off the wagon by Christmas!

This definitely upped the ante. Although there were some temptations to buy shoes those last six months, there was no way I was going to miss the opportunity for my dad to buy me another pair of Jimmy's.
I survived the whole year of not buying any shoes! I did it! As my dad came into the store, it was as though everyone in the store knew why he was there... as you may have guessed, I have not kept this a secret. We had a great time picking out the shoes... well, at least everyone, but my dad. These are the beauties...
