Oh Clarks, Why Do Torment Me So?

It starts out so innocently.  Research for Clarks metallic toe flatties -  are mine still available so that I can link them to posts?

I had to scroll through every single women's shoe and boot page to ascertain that.  Oh dear what a shame.  But sadly no, the metallic flatties sadly are no longer available.

But these are

Well, I was then quickly distracted from my original task and was now on a full-blown shoe hunt, so I reined myself in a bit.  I drafted up a post so that I could show you my selection and what I'd whittled down to.  And what I'd bought. 

Show you my sensible process which I apply to purchases.  Show you my rationale. 

 

And in this case in hand (or foot), what I really need are grey boots.  Or shoes.  Grey, any footwear provided its grey.  Yes,  that's my whittling down and that's the brief!

So I started thinking about the grey boots and the grey heels.  

Fantastic price.  Available in my size, not even " low stock".

Moving on through several weeks of research.  observation.  stalking, and finally, last night, I decided that I had stalked sufficiently to determine that I really needed  wanted my targeted footwear.

So I went to the website.  They are sold out.  Both.

And so endeth today's lesson on how to save your pensioner pennies.  Hold back on making purchases; eventually you will see the savers' revered message,  "no longer available"!
