The Hunt
You know the feeling, you are searching for that perfect pair of shoes. The kind that will go with 99% of what you have in the closet.
It takes months, it takes research and then... there they are.
You aren't sure of the size (these things vary from brand to brand and style to style) so you try them on. And guess what? Neither of the two sizes you've requested fit properly you need a 1/2 size smaller. So you ask the girl, she checks the back.
THEY DO NOT HAVE YOUR SIZE
Disappointed you try the other stores in the mall, you're flexible something will work. You won't find the same shoe because it is a house brand but maybe you can get close. Which is silly because you've been looking for months but hey, the new fall stuff is in you could get lucky.
But Nooooooo... No one else even remotely has the right color let alone the right look.
Okay the store has a web site, you can shop online.
But Noooooo... that particular style isn't on the web site.
So after Googling all over for something similar you go back to the original store's web site and check for other stores in the area. You find one but it is an hour and a half away. What the heck, you call.
Thank God for the saleswoman named Vickie! They have the shoe, they have the size and they will hold it for you for 24 hours.
Thus concludes another successful hunt. Whew!
