Brogue-Mance

I normally try convincing myself out of too-trendy shoes based on practicality, longevity of said trend, and the change of seasons, but when I saw these brogue/oxford shoes by Joan and David, I was sold ... on the deal. 

Originally, priced at $180. These pewter, leather, Joan and David jazz oxfords were marked down to $99 on Shoewoo.com. But that is not where the sale ended. The site-wide clearance had them marked down another 70% off, plus 30% off because I was buying three (well, actually, more than three) pairs of shoes. With all those markdowns, I bought these for only $21.

Perfectly priced, and the metallic finish is loud enough to make a statement, but refined enough to still be worn as a basic. And they will instantly add an exclamation point to any lackluster outfit.
