A weekly sharing of eco-shwag!
You know you want it — A free copy of Simply Green: Giving, reviewed here.
To get it: Tell me how much the most expensive pair of shoes you bought cost, what brand they were, where you bought them, and if you still think the purchase was worth the moolah you spent.
Your reward: Never buy wrapping paper again — AND always give prettily-wrapped presents :)
I spent a hundred bucks each plus tax on 2 pairs of boots. I got one pair in black, one in brown. I barely wore them and they’re still sitting in my closet because I’m not sure what to do with them. Anyone want some Via Spiga boots??

Okay…you guilted me off my butt. I’ve now put up them up for grabs on craigslist, thank you for the motivation.

howdy!
my most exp shoes were $150! They’re John Fluevog’s which i got @ his store on Melrose. For me spending that much on shoes (and that they were leather–oh my!) comes with a tremendous amount of guilt : )
*however* in my defense…its hard to find a gorgeous comfortable pair of turquoise shoe–plus they’re so well made they’ll last forever! The animal thing aside at least these weren’t made in a sweatshop : )

$140 for a pair of new black charles david open-toed heels. i was a in philly for a wedding and i desperately needed a new pair of black shoes: all i had with me was a pair of black heels that, over the course of the two years i had been wearing them, had stomped into a state of extreme bedragglement. they’re beautiful, but it was a desperation purchase. and i have to admit, i haven’t been able to throw away the embarrassingly distressed black heels because they’re more comfy…so i really don’t get the use out of the new ones that i should…

Either the serious shoe buyers aren’t confessing, or I’m just a big shoe spender, cuz I’ve spent a lil over $500, post-tax, on some Jimmy Choos –
