My time would have been wasted if it wasn’t for stumbling across these really cool brands/vendors.

I thought this was a VERY cool concept for a shoe website.

1)You take a style quiz and discover your fashion bio

2)A selection of 6 pairs of shoes show up based on your fashion quiz

3)You choose from these 6 shoes that you like

I took the quiz thought it was fun.  I did like a couple pairs of shoes that were brought up on my fashion bio.  Also, all shoes are Marco Santi and only $49.  What a deal!!!!  I bought a pair to try them out, REVIEW TO FOLLOW!

The one thing I didn’t like was you couldn’t shop ALL shoes, you could only choose from the 6 pairs Sole Society thought you would like.  (The idea is to  have your own personal stylist)  You could request a new selection but it takes a while (a buisness day) When you click on a shoe Sole Society picks for you it also shows you outfits that could go with the shoe! VERY COOL!

EXCESS BAGGAGE

I found a vendor that buys designer clothing and sells on the Internet for a discounted price.  I bought a Factory by Eric Hart dress that was originally $130 for $50.  SCORE!  The open back with crisscross netting and the 80’s style shoulder pads were too hard to let this piece go.

So, was this a sample sale filled with Gucci, YSL, McQueen pieces?  NOOOOO, but if you knew what you were looking for, this event was worth your while!
