that's money honey

i. am. DUH-YYYYYING over proenza schouler's limited edition runway shoes available now at opening ceremony... i mean, shoegasm doesn't do this feeling justice... they are just so beyond... the curved stacked... the platform... the hardware details... i wonder what it would take to convince my roommate to cover my rent this month so that i could buy a pair (prices range from $750 or the hybrid saddle shoes to a cool grand for the leather booties)... perhaps the fact that only 6 pairs of each are available thus making them limited edition pieces of art that i (we?) could actually wear and not only enjoy by staring at a wall??! hmmm something tells me that argument will only work in theory in my sad little fashion obsessed mind....

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?
