The other day, I went window shopping . I saw a beautiful sandals, which fitted my feet well. The color was my favorite for a sandal , beige.
However, I didn’t buy it. I was thinking that in a few days, it would be SALE in the mall, hence I could get a discount for it.
Though, I was also thinking, what if it’s bought already. Seldom do I find a sandals that fits me, because my size is one that gets sold easily.
I am thinking of buying it today, after our dismissal. I just hope it’s still there.

yes buy it because the mere fact that you solicited suggestions from people here it means that you have not resolved to the idea that you can wait until it will be included in the sale. Yes buy it if you have the money why not.. and why wait until such when your heart and you are salivating to have one. You know what you want just make sure that you wont regret after, when you found the sandals not comfortable to wear. Check the comfortability, check your budget and check your priorities. Do you really need to buy that pair of sandals? What are you priorities?

Well, my friend after checking my priorities, i realized there's really no need to buy it that moment.
Thus, i eventually ended not buying it, but instead on Christmas season when there are parties, where you sometimes have to buy new clothes because of the color scheme, thus a need for a shoes or sandals that will compliment the color.

Actually Jaiho, i didn't buy it.
I decided to just buy a new one when the Corporate Christmas party of ours will be finalized as to what is the color scheme. I will choose a new formal sandal that can compliment the color scheme.
So far, there isn't any news about it yet, although it was said that it will be in Manila.

We have the same thoughts about buying stuff before the store/mall is on sale. I usually do not wait for the sale coz sometimes the style itself is not longer available as some malls would be replacing their display with older stocks.

Actually here in our province, when there is a sale in a few days, i usually reserve the one i like to the sales lady who readily will reserve it for me during the sale.
But this sandals, i eventually did not but it anymore. I changed my mind because i realized it's not my priority.
I din't regret my final decision.

It happens to me loads of times, I normally go window shopping with hubby whenever we brought our seventeen months old girl to a toy place at a nearby mall. While she plays inside that play place and is being look after by her aunt, hubby and I would visits shops.
I would fit clothes and shoes as well but won't buy it, but I would promise myself that ?I'm coming back to get it, but it usually don't happen. Then when times comes that I needed such clothes or shoes I will think of that particular stuff that fitted and then regrets that I did not get it.
Hope you get the sandals you like :)

Actually i finally decided not to buy it. I realized i don't need a new one yet.
I plan to buy a new one this Christmas season to partner it with a new blouse for our Christmas party.
I never regretted not buying it. I am happy i have a strong control of my buying streaks.

Hi SimplyD
The most common foot size here is 6 or 7 (that is how they go for the shoe or sandal sizes here). And they always have many units at the shops here. But unfortunately, last time when my wife wanted to buy her sandals, she coundnt find the one she wanted in her size. And hence she didnt make any other purchase.
Going by that experience, I feel I can understand your concern, but I do hope that you would find the one still at the shop. I would suggest to buy it out ASAP as during the SALE - normally the better ones go out fast and quick

The day after that , i decided not to but it anymore, sids.
I realized, i need to buy a new one comes December for our Corporate Christmas party, which will be attended by officers and big bosses only of the different affiliates. Hence, i decided to just buy before that date , when the color scheme of the clothes we are to wear there will finally be out.
I already have some pairs of semi-casual sandals like that , so that's it i finally decided against it. I didn't regret it .

Actually rose, i have been giving myself "treats".
That's why the other day, i decided not to buy it anymore, because i have just bough myself a new blouse.
However again today, my office mate came from Manila and she has a new sandals, which she said is a treat to herself.
So again today, i decided to go back to the mall and hope that it's still there so i can try walking on it and buy it if it's really nice to walk.
Women can really change their minds in seconds!

Actually, i eventually didn't buy it anymore, prashu.
I decided to buy a nice sandals comes our Corporate Christmas party which has a color scheme for our clothes. I will pattern the color to it.

We can only hope for the best and wish that that sandals would still be there. Had I been in your shoes, I would definitely buy it, provided that i have the money. If it fits my feet perfectly, then im already sold!

Actually the other day i decided to buy it.
However on the last minute i decided against it, because i have been buying "new treats" for myself and i think i am just going overboard for myself.
Then today, when my officemate came from Manila and saw her new sandals, i thought to myself again , "oh i must buy the sandals".

It is really frustrating if we want something and then we were not be able to get it. If I get the chance like you I would grab the opportunity at that moment I see my favorite sandals as long as I have enough money. It is only once in a blue moon that I can have the opportunity to see my super like sandals.

Actually after thinking about it thoroughly, i realized i don't need to buy a new sandals anymore. Thus, i didn't buy it.
I reserve my desire to buy a sandals for our Corporate Christmas party where i will be buying an outfit for the party.

I feel that you don't need to worry about it too much. If you couldn't buy them in the mall, you can also but them online. So you mustn't miss them if you really want to possess them.
In my opinion, you should buy them when you see them firstly. Though they may be expensive to you ,you need to possess the stuff which you like so much. In the world, there is much stuff that we want to possess. Due to the lack of money or other things, we couldn't get them. So we should not hesitate to get the favorite stuff which we can afford

Actually, i was feeling guilty of buying it, because i have just previously gifted myself with new blouses. I also have already many pairs of sandals of the same category - semi casual.
Thus, i decided to just buy a nice sandals on our Christmas party - the Corporate one, where only the officers and big bosses of the affiliates attend. I bet we have to buy a new dress to conform with the color scheme - thus, the sandals too.

Actually my friend after evaluating the need for it, i finally decided not to buy it.
I realized i have 3 pairs of sandals of the same category ; semi-casual. Thus, i will just buy one when the color scheme for our Corporate Christmas party will be revealed.

Hi! Maybe by this time you already bought the sandals that you liked.
You mentioned that you thought twice the other day when you saw the sandals that maybe you would buy it during the sale. But if you ask me, chances are, the sandals would be out soon enough before the actual sale or probably they wont include it in the sale.
So I do hope you get to buy the pair today :)

On the contrary my friend, i didn't buy it.
I realized it's not a priority. But this Christmas season i am going to buy one, that will match the dress or outfit i will be wearing for our Corporate Christmas party which will be in a hotel.

If it is not very expensive and its quality is good. Then why not buy it? It is not easy to find something we really like. And if you don't buy it, I am afraid you will keep this in mind and it is not worth to feel disappointing in this way. Sometimes we need to treat ourselves better.

I realized i don't need another sandals at the moment yet, because if already have pairs of them.
I have for the past weeks been buying and treating myself for a new blouse and a sandal also so i thought of letting this pass by now.
I am sure by December i will need another sandal that will match the color theme of our Christmas party, so i might as well postpone buying this sandal.
I am now at peace with such decision.

For your sake I hope they stil have them..It seems that they
were really right for you..so if I were you I would head right
back to the mall and purchase them..if they happen to go on
sale next week, you can take your receipt to the store and they
should adjust the price for you...
I hope they are still there...

Actually yesterday, upon dismissal i was having second thoughts of buying the sandals.
Thus, i didn't pass by the mall to buy it. Instead, i headed straight home.
It's because i thought that i still have some nice pair of sandals. It's not in my budget to buy it now. Although, i can always buy it through my credit card, i decided against it.
Now, i am determined not to buy it, but instead when i have the cash and budget for it.
If it's still there, it's for me. But if it is not there already, then it's not for me.

You know what, i finally decided not to buy it anymore.
I realized that at the moment i don't need it, because i have been treating myself to new blouses and a sandal. I think i have been over treating myself, so i leave the treat to December.
By that time, there is a need to buy for a sandal that will match the theme color of our Christmas party, which isn't being discussed yet.

I eventually and finally decided not to buy it. Instead, i will wait for the color scheme of the dresses we will wear for the Corporate Christmas party in Manila.
It's a semi-casual sandals and i have some pairs already.
