what would you do?

i want these opening ceremony shoes. bad. but they're $500. and here's how i'm slowly rationalizing the purchase in my head: 

• they're fashion forward but still classic
• they'd go with everything from jeans to shorts to dresses
• they're great quality and will last 
• they'd be a cute alternative to my every day chucks (cost per wear would be pennies after this summer)
• no one else has them; they're unique
• i can't stop thinking about them

so my question is- how much would you all spend for good shoes that you could wear almost every day that you know you'd love to death?
