Dresses, Shoes, An Utter Lack Of Cash

Leah Adds Some Glam To La Push

I spent a good part of my day yesterday looking at shoes online, and since I am female you can guess what happened to me: I fell in love. I need to go out and do some serious shopping, I think.
Like I could ever afford those Louboutins anyway. Like I could walk in them.
But they're so pretty ... decidedly unfair.
Also, dresses. You know, dresses were never my thing all that much, but OH MY GOD SO PRETTY. I even went so far to create one of those Polyvore sets with it. There it is, in all its glory. Ignore the crap it says on the top - I had to justify its existence somehow and I decided making it for a fanfic was the way to go.
But! I will have you know that I have included an outfit for everybody. On the upper left, the white dress you see? Only $48 (mango.com). Yeah. Exactly. And the shoes that go with it? A mere $65, they're Steve Madden. Now, that makes for a stunning outfit at the delightful price of $113, which is almost something I'd be able to pay.
For the richer amongst us, the turquoise lace dress on the upper right goes for $2675 (matthewwilliamson.com). This is what's in the dress description:
"This beautiful, thigh grazing mini features a hand embroidered satin applique and cording detail and is finished with a scalloped edged hem. The youthful, Rainbow Lace dress offers a slim fitting silhouette, with invisible zip fastenings to the centre back and to the sleeves. This luxurious mini also features a detachable, tonal, silk slip with adjustable straps."
 Boom. The shoes are Louboutins, and therefore not cheap either. On the bottom right, we have a Herve Leger dress that goes away for $1160, and Giuseppe Zanotti shoes that will cost you $1040. Yes, friends. Those shoes cost one thousand dollars. You will never own them. (I'm sorry)
The pick for the half-wealthy would be one of the remaining three: The top middle outfit would cost a total of $480, the lower left one $520 and the lower middle one $859. It's worth noting that the shoes aren't the problem here, the dresses are the pricey babies.
Still. I want it all - everything. If only I were rich.
