Yes Ladies you read it right! I am now the proud owner of these babies!
I am only the owner of these because of this beautiful lady! Dee and I have been BFFs since I was 9!
I bet you are wondering what happened? Here is the story:
My girl Dee that lives in the Chicago suburbs (pictured above) called me on weekday afternoon.
Dee: So happy I caught you!
Me: Whats wrong?
Dee: I think I found you some Christian Louboutins!
Me: Huh?
Dee: I'm at a thrift store! And there are some here! I am going to send you a picture.
I get the picture, OMG could it be? I call her back.
Dee: I think they are legit! I can't fit them, you want me to get em?
Me: Umm Yeah!
Guess who much she paid for them????? $7!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am thinking, get out there with those shoes as fast as you can! How could there be REAL Loubs at a thrift store? I forward the pictures to my other BF that owns a few pair to check them out. She says they look good! I'm like YES! So I patiently wait for Dee to ship them to me. Here they are! My second child!
Once I got them I knew they were real. The soles are leather. Who puts a leather sole on a fake shoe? The inside of the shoe is a butter soft leather as well. But how did they end up in a thrift store. So I start to do my research. I google "How to Spot a Fake". Everything checks out. I still want it to be confirmed so I take them to the fabulous designer consignment shop for them to check out. They don't see any flaws. We have a winner! Can you believe it? I am just so happy they are classic shoes
Mister has been laughing at me shinning and cleaning these shoes. I am still in disbelief! I have the most amazing girlfriends in the world that think of me when they find something so amazing. Love you Dee! Too small or big, I would have chopped off a toe or something to wear these.
So ATL, when you see me out with my $7 Louboutins don't hate : ) Just kidding, but really don't! LOL. What is you most unbelievable thrift store find?
I found a Christian Dior sweater for $5 in pristine condition.

ReplyDeleteThats not a steal thats a miracle. Dang. You lucked up girl.

ReplyDeleteI found a Prada bag for cheap (can't remember the exact price, but less than $10) and Rachel Ray's first cookbook from before she was famous for $1.00 and I turned around and sold it on ebay for well over $100! (Got both at Goodwill)
ReplyDeleteThrifting is SO FUN!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on such a fabulous find. I'm sure you will rock them well.
My only big designer find was a Nanette Leporr sweater for about $2.
You know that was a once in a lifetime steal? Lol congratulations!

ReplyDeleteOMG Trina! Wow, this is the most amazing thrift find thus far! I can't even believe how lucky!
ReplyDeleteThat's the BEST score ever!!!! WOW!
ReplyDeleteYou can get them authenticated on The Purse Forum, in the Louboutin subforum http://forum.purseblog.com/louboutin-shopping/authenticate-these-cls-read-first-page-before-posting-663800.html.
Those ladies are amazing and know their CL's. Just post pics of the insole, the bottom of the shoes where the logo and size are located, and any other close-up shots you can provide.
I'm so excited for you!!
O.M.G. I have to agree with Shakiyla, it's a miracle. A thanksgiving miracle,lol. So lucky, you owe your homegirl, big time!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! That is HUGE!!!! I am soooo excited for you!!! And also super jealous!!! Hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteMy best thrift find was a vintage Chanel bag. I love it so much. I was so stunned to find it there, and when i saw it from across the room I practically sprinted over to it. Then i had to chuckle at myself, cuz nobody was even looking at it. I was amazed to find that.
BUT that doesnt top a $7 pair of Louboutins. You lucky duck!! :-)
You lucky duck!!!! That is so awesome....shoes r very cute too. Ima start going in thrift stores! My mom always told me u can find cheap name brand items in "good" thrift stores. Your story is a perfect example...have fun with the CL's :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a steal and what a great best friend:) My bestie and I are the same way! Luckily we don't wear the same sizes either or we'd be in trouble! lol
