<p>I bought two new pair of Michael Kors a couple of weeks ago, and I have been very pleased with them - so much so that I was certain they are worth what I paid, which was slightly more than, well, my mortage and new car payment combined. </p>
<p>Then, I happened into DSW last week, huge sale, and found three pair of Steve Maddens for $9.00 each. I’m not kidding. $90 shoes - leather high heels - marked down and down and down - like 50% off, then another 50% and then some other sort of discount - until they were $9.00 a pair. I haven’t paid $9.00/pair for business dress shoes in my life. I still cannot believe it. Surely the management at that particular store made some sort of major mistake. Now the Michael Kors doesn’t seem like such a wise decision…</p>
