This weekend was crazy. Travis was in Dallas on business on Thursday and Friday. I actually realized on Wednesday that I had the next Monday off work. So, I decided to drive to Rockwall to see my family and then just drive back with Travis. I say "drive to Rockwall" like it takes 20 minutes...ha! It's actually 6 hours each way.
I got to spend time with my SIL and MIL working on wedding invitations for my SIL's wedding in May. I helped design the invite and coordinate the papers, etc. I helped with the maps, and I may have a tutorial on how those are done in the future. They turned out really cute!
She has a very creative eye and designed her own response cards, labels, and programs!
In other news: I'm always skeptical about new shoe styles. I've always been this way. Last summer when "top-siders" came back I could not fathom spending $75 on one pair of shoes. Especially since I wasn't sure if I'd actually wear them much.
The solution? "Ferrys"
The term "Ferrys" comes from a combination of the words "faux" and "Sperrys." Turns out...I loved them! Wore them just about to death.
Today, I decided it was time for some new ones. I made my way to Shoe Carnival (I'll explain this later). Browsing through the Ferrys it struck me. Why not just buy Sperrys? $75...that's why.
But wait! I'm at Shoe Carnival. Quick price check, and they actually sell for $59.99. Hold up. What's that I just heard over the loudspeaker? "Take $10 off any pair of shoes over $49.99 purchased in the next 10 minutes."
Yes, please, and thank you. I've never made a faster decision when purchasing shoes. Done and done. Final purchase with tax was $54.11. Ferrys would have cost me $43.28. So...for true-to-life name brand Sperrys, I paid $10.83 more. Worth it? Time will tell.
