Anyway, on a positive note, remember this post? Well, I have fulfilled my dream:

For only $34! I love this seller, there's a lot of other beautiful stuff here. But just in case you think I am gloating, I found some things for ya'll. Please, I beg you, somebody, snatch these up. They are vintage, but so NOW:

$45! Perfect detail. Size 6, buy them here.

And these remind me a lot of what Fashion Toast has been doing lately. $85, size 8. That's not super cheap, but you'll be the only person wearing them (= priceless). See them here.
