Gladiators! Indeed such a definite ‘it’ thing and undoubtedly one of the best shoe trends of the Spring/Summer 2008 season collection. I know that S/S08 fashion is already outdated but whatevs! I just think that this platform piece is as timeless as it had been back in the Roman ages, which for me means can be slipped on whenever you feel like being a Roman goddess.. Heavy noh! Personally, I don’t really consider following season trends. It’s way too expensive and just vanishes in time. So what’s the big point, right?! Joke! Well, it is for the high-profile hardcore fashionistas but not for me.. You know I’m not a trendsetter bibo.. Just a fab fag at its cheapness! Hihihi..
Going back to the glads, I’ve been haunted on the idea of having one for myself. Really! It’s a must-have for me! So there, off I search to footwear boutiques and department stores to sneak any gladiator sandals available but sadly didn’t find one. Not even its shadows. I checked online and found bunch of them (super nice gladiators – cheap, affordable, mega expensive!) but online shopping is not a comfy option for me. Ya’know, hassle in shipping and all and to be honest, I’m a boondok with those online transactions ek-ek. So I thought, that maybe god doesn’t really allow me to have glads because he knows how ugly my feet are. But the thing is, I wanna have one.. That’s it! And brat as I’m becoming a voice somewhere told me to enter PROMOD boutique. Off I went there and voila v! I can’t believe what I’m seeing. A beautiful pair of gladiator sandals waiting for me. My prayer had been answered! Thank goodness! I rushed to try it and it looks beautiful on my freakin-looking feet.. But! But! But! It’s 2,295 pesoses and beyond the budget I set for it.. Damnit! It’s the end! It just popped my bubbles! That’s it! I’ll never have one for the entirety of my life..
But miracle does happen people so you gotta believe in it. Two months went by and I got myself back to PROMOD! Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! My baby is on sale!!! From 2,295 down to 1,495! Winner!!! So, I did not waste any single minute and immediately asked the very accommodating saleslady to bring me the last pair of my size (39) and there I have it!
I’m back to being pretty again! LOL! Happy to have gladiators on my feet.. Simply love it!! vi-a-v everyone!
