My February has been so boring. I’ve mainly been driving from outlet to outlet trying to find the perfect shoes which I’m fairly certain don’t exist, but that’s really it. I guess I had enough fun in January to last me two months, which is good as it means things aren’t so spendy. I’ve probably spent … More We never check the price tag
