$4 lanvin flats!

i have a story about these lanvin flats. two weeks ago, i was cleaning my closet and saw a shopping bag full of my old clothes i was supposed to drop off at the goodwill. i wasn't busy that day so i thought maybe i could sell the clothes at a resale store and make some lunch money. so i went to buffalo exchange ( i couldn't go to wasteland since the clothes were non vintage like urban and h&m and stuff,,). anyways, after they bought some of my stuff they told me i could get either $50 cash or $76 store credit. right after i said "cash please", i saw these beautiful lanvin flats in the glass shelf. --i've been wanting them since 2006! and i always wanted BLACK PATENT leather. of course i tried them on. they fit, the condition was almost NEW and they were $80. i had $76 store credit so i paid $4 out of my pocket and the lanvins were mine. i would call this a shoe miracle.

ps: also seeing this makes me very happy.

You really struck gold on these. Even at $76 they would have been a pretty good deal for Lanvin, but making more space in your closet AND getting some stylish shoes that look like they've never been worn before? That is truly a shoe miracle!
