Have I given in?

OK...so in general I'm not a big shoe person, nor do I salivate over brand names. I'll see a cute pair of shoes and think "oh, I like those." Very quickly, however, I realize
a] that I will never wear them
b] that they cost the equivalent of my take home pay for a week.

Then I'm content to look at their beauty and keep my wallet somewhat intact. I really don't make non-useful purchases that often and when I do I try to think about it and budget for it prior to actually laying out the dough.

All that being said - I saw these Coach shoes in an ad and I really, really want them.

Oh, they are lovely.
