A Splish-Splashy Love Story



Let me tell you a story about a girl with a rainy day dream.

This dream involved a pair of galoshes. With a bow and enough of a heel to make them feel a little more Madison Ave than fresh off the farm. Simple, black and rainproof; a flash of magenta on the inside. Love at first sight on Oak Street in the Kate Spade store. I could practically feel exactly how fabulously urban I was going to feel strolling to the red line in my incredible rainboots, very vintage sunglasses, femme fatale trench coat and umbrella.

But the boots were $150. So, they could not come home with me.

Fear not, dear reader, this story does NOT end there. This is no mere tragedy; it's a story of hope and unending promise.

A few months later, after relentless albeit erratic price monitoring on a few websites, I discovered the boots were marked down (Last night to be exact). And that I had a coupon only good for rainboots (Only at Piperlime, right?). And I had a $50 reward that was applicable.

Annnnnnnd the shipping was free! Seriously, the dream galoshes for only $14? Yes, please.

I guess good things really do come to those who wait. Now, I just need a puddle to do some serious splash testing once they arrive...



Kisses,

AJS
