I dropped some things by Goodwill today and happened to see these shoes. For $2.50. Two dollars and fifty cents! And they look new! And they're my size!

So I started to buy them, but then I had a crisis of conscience, because is it wrong to buy something from Goodwill? I mean, the whole point is that it's a place for people less fortunate to shop. But then I decided that, frankly, poor people would not properly appreciate that these are Steve Maddens - - would not, perhaps, have even heard of them - and so, really, it was fortunate that I came along when I did. So I snagged them from the shelf, rescuing them to the register.

And can I just say? Nothing evokes goodwill like paying for a pair of Steve Maddens with a $5 bill and getting change back.
