I did some research. I'm well under the impression that the Lita Fab Tapestry shoes were released last November, after reading it twice on two seperate sites (though I wish I had the links to double-check), and the last time any site restocked them, it was between May and June on a website that no longer has the black in stock. I downloaded a .pdf of Jeffrey Campbell's fall lookbook, suggesting there won't be more of the black tapestry in the future.
I found one site, ShopAKIRA, that had two pairs of the black tapestry in size seven. It's taken me since June 6th to save up about $80 in my tip money, which is how I was hoping to pay for a pair of Litas, if you recall. However, that is well over a month of time, and that was when I was working more than two days a week, so if I wanted to have any chance at buying a pair of these shoes, I was going to have to buy them soon, and probably not with the tip money that I won't have for a very long time.
So...I bought them!
I waited until Kathryn got home from work and when she read my ramble on Livejournal about me simply explaining these points and scrambling around for what to do, and asked her what she thought.
"Well, it's your money... I mean, so long as you're okay with me spending $130 on a new fish tank?"
"Psh, of course!"
With that, I jumped for the computer and went through checkout as fast as my fingers' relationship with the keyboard could allow. By just nine dollars and ninety cents, even qualified for free shipping.
Here's hoping ShopAKIRA is a good, trusty site (they look like it) and I'll let you guys know the moment they arrive in the mail. (Hey, do you suppose they'll look any good with the black American Apparel double U-neck dress? I just bought one recently and am eager to wear it with something amazing.)
