I can just see myself sitting down at some sceney seaside restaurant this summer and spotting these never-been-seen-before sandals on a woman at the table next to me--and coveting them! Wanting to ask if the sandals are current or past season and not having the guts to do so. So I am going to save myself from this future triggering situation and splurge on them for myself. My inner peace has already thanked me. ;)
