DSW's Semi-Annual Shoe Sale Is FINALLY Here
Hand on the bible my perfectly curated TikTok FYP, I don't shop every sale that comes across my desk. A girl's gotta have some self control when her entire job is tracking down celebrity styles and serving the tea on Amazon's hottest deals—at least while we're maybe, probably, definitely heading towards a recession.
But (you knew it was coming) that doesn't mean I'm perfect. Sometimes I slip up...and check off my entire summer shoe wishlist in one sitting! I'm calling it efficiency, not impulsivity. After all, my latest haul will carry me straight through to Labor Day sales—so, if you really think about it, this actually means I just saved money. Girl math! ICYMI, DSW's Semi-Annual Sale just dropped and it's packed with hidden gems—if the digital receipt in my inbox has anything to say about it. Now through July 9, you (and me!)(clearly!) can save up to 65% on the entireeeee clearance section. Promo code LASTCHANCE will even get ya an extra 10% off select styles.
Now, let's unpack a few of my fave finds because, besties, I've got a lot! Since I, tragically, never got my hands on the coveted Adidas x Wales Bonner collab, I snapped up this lookalike style from Steve Madden in a heartbeat. Are you impressed? I'm impressed. They're a dead ringer, and "comfy right out of the box," per shoppers.
I also stocked up on wedding guest shoes for the one billion (I swear that number is accurate) nuptials I've already got on the books for this year. I just know these platforms will let me comfortably electric slide and Dolce Vita's heeled sandal def has enough traction so I can successfully catch the bouquet. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride??? Not for long, suckers!
Plus, these slides—that look a lot like a designer style that starts with an H and ends with ermès—will undoubtedly be my go-to until it's no longer seasonally acceptable to show toes.
I mean, hey, if anything I'm just helping the economy! My DSW haul was a public service! Send all thanks and gratitude to my Venmo, xoxo.
