I finally made it to the Army & Navy shoe sale today. Remembering last year’s insanity, I opted to forgo Day 1 of the sale but maybe that wasn’t such a good idea.

Supposedly they’re replenishing the stock all day long every day of the sale, but all the stuff I saw those poor A&N employees pulling out of boxes was more of the same, which is to say, more boringness.

I went in high hopes of finding some shoes of the purple persuasion but came up with nilch… except for this pair of cute flats for $24.99. Good for schlepping to and from the office (I keep my heels under my desk to eliminate stinky-feet-smell away from my precious bag) but not exactly the most exciting pair of shoes you’ve ever seen.

And, come to think of it, the madness wasn’t quite as ‘mad’ as I remember it being last year.

All in all, it was pretty meh. Kind of like expecting chocolate chip kalua flavored ice cream with crazy sprinkles and whipped cream and cherries… and getting vanilla. And not even cool Madagascar Vanilla Bean vanilla, just plain ole’ 4 litre tub vanilla.

Oh well. Now I know.
