Dr. Feel-Good and the Need for Brown Shoes

Savin' makes me feel good...the Doc Martens site (the Official Dr. Martens USA Store to you) is offering a whopping 35 percent off of all (nonclearance) shoes with coupon code DMFF3507 (valid till December 14). And I bought two pairs of shoes! I'm pretty psyched about them. I needed a pair of relatively basic brown pumps. I think. I mean, this is something a professional woman should have, yes? Please weigh in if you have strong opinions on the subject. Of course, I fell in love with the two-tone number and had to get those too. After the discount, the damage was only $107. Free shipping, too!



Dr. Martens "Jenna" mary-jane pump, $95 (minus 35 percent is...cheaper). It also comes in basic black, dramatic red, and shiny navy, which I considered but rejected. I mean really, when do you ever wear navy shoes?



Jenna T-bar pump, on sale for $70, plus you get the 35 percent discount. Oh hell...I'll whip out the calculator...$45.50! I think these are quite Camper-esque, and just the kind of sensible-yet-funky footwear I crave. Score!

I also pondered, but did not purchase, these:



Dr. Martens wedge zip calf boot, $100 but only $65 with the discount. (That math's easy.) I have a pair of boots the exact same color, but had they been a darker brown, I may have. I also find myself with the need for dark brown boots sometimes. Oh, the misery...
