Once I realized I had enough money for school this year, I bought a pair of shoes (of course).  You will be very impressed with my restraint. I didn’t buy these even though I’ve been drooling over them since March.

I didn’t spend $360 on these beautiful, beautiful, beautiful shoes because 1) I really shouldn’t spend that much and 2) I don’t think I’d be able to bike in them.

Instead, I responsibly settled for this pair of Keens.  They aren’t too expensive and I can ride my bike and walk across campus in them.  They might not get me quite as excited as the two above, but at least they’re still red…
