Plaid Madness!

Last weekend we went out shopping and I bought these red plaid shoes from Payless. I absolutely loved them and knew they must be mine. When I bought them, I told the cashier that I was going to have a hard time finding a purse to match them that wasn't just plain red or plain black.

LUCKILY...Torrid just happened to send me an email for their new products just a couple of days after I bought the shoes, and what did I see?

THEY HAD A PURSE THAT MATCHED PERFECTLY!

Little did I know HOW perfectly they matched :)

So I looked at it for a couple days online and then yesterday I called the closest Torrid and asked if they had this purse in stock. They did! But they only had 1 left, it's been flying off the shelves. I'm sure the gal I was talking to could hear the desperation in my voice and so she offered to hold it for me :) yay! As soon as I got off work I dashed over to Torrid and ran straight for the counter. And the purse was mine :)

When I got home I compared the shoes to the purse and they are the most perfect match! It's really hard to believe that two completely separate companies in two completely separate stores could match patterns that closely. It's not the same exact fabric because the pattern on the shoes is slightly smaller than the pattern on the purse, but they're so close! I absolutely adore my new shoes and purse :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

For our family pictures this year, we're doing black and red, so naturally my shoes and purse (or at least the shoes) will be making their debut around Christmas. That's if I can hold off until then. I may not be able to since they're just so stinking cute!
