You're right. You call it "bitten by the high heel bug". I like to refer to it for what it really is, an addiction. Yep, I'm addicted. I have to wear high heels. I have to own many because of their uniqueness. I'm glad my drug is high heels rather than some insidious drug.
As for that particular pair of mules, they were yet another perfect pair. 130 mm heels, great cut, amazing color and for me closed toed. But even with that combination, a seller asking for more $'s is total b.s.
Did get these a few days ago.
