So it turns out that I did tell a little fib: I wasn’t quite done with my F/W 09 shopping just yet.    The problem is that I love wedge heels in the Fall and my Seychelles wedges are basically falling apart.  After almost 3 years of wear and tear in bars, on the muddled streets of Chicago and beyond, it was time to find a new pair.  The problem was, I just couldn’t find a pair I liked.  Well, I found a pair and they were the Acne Atacoma wedges shown below:

Love em.  But for $480 USD, I couldn’t see these appearing in my closet anytime soon.

Then, as I was perusing the web for nothing special this morning, I stumbled upon these Jeffery Campbell wedges:

They are at a more manageable height (3.5″ wedge with a 1″ platform), from a shoe brand that I like and I have found great success with their shoes and…$99!  That’s a bit more like it for my budget.    No, they are not quite the Acne Atacoma wedges, but they will do for the days when I want to wear a comfortable heel to give myself a little more height.

And so yes, I did broach my “I’m done with Fall shopping” pact that I made, and yes, it did happen quite easily.  I’m hopeful that I won’t falter again.
