Shoes, shoes

My friend Jessica has decided to buy all of her clothes secondhand this year, and has been posting great pictures of her Goodwill finds. I typically buy nearly all of my clothes secondhand (or off of clearance racks), so I've decided to start posting pictures of some recent finds. It might be a bit intermittent since even at Goodwill prices I try to be careful about what I buy, but I've still gotten some great deals. I tend to make a mental list of things I'm looking for, then stop in at secondhand shops when I have the time. Recently I've been looking for some flats to wear with jeans on work days. I generally wear tennis shoes with my jeans but realized that I feel more professional in nicer shoes, even though I'm down on the floor all day. I'm also on the lookout for shoes that will go well with capris since that's what I wear during the summer (I don't like wearing shorts).
Anyways, here are the shoes that I picked up the other day. I'm not usually one who cares about brand names (mostly because I don't know which ones are worth anything), but one of the things that Jessica does is figure out how much her purchases would have cost at retail price, compared to what she paid.
Black Enzo Angiolini shoes-  $5. I couldn't find this exact one online but this brand retails for $50 and up at Zappos. Kitty, free.
Brown Hunt Club shoes- $7. More than I'd usually pay but we had a coupon from bringing in a bag of things to donate. And these shoes are seriously comfy. I couldn't find anything similar online for a price comparison though.

All told our shopping trip that day cost us $17. For 2 pairs of shoes for me and a pair of jeans and a polo shirt for Chris. Probably less than we would have spent on any single item at the store.
