I love shoes. I love wedges. I love heels. If you like them the way I do, you've got to try Parisian. I fell in love with the brand back in college. Every time I visit SM Department Store, I always go to Parisian to check out their sales and new arrivals.
I love everything about the brand- the quality, accessibility, style and price. I was not used to wearing heels but when I bought my first pair of Parisian heels I was able to survive wearing it the whole day. The shoes were very comfortable yet stylish and chic. That being said, every pair of Parisian shoes I bought was worth the penny.
Last Sunday, our family went to SM Cubao to do some Christmas shopping. On a side note, I DID NOT BUY ANY MAKEUP!!! WOOHOO! Going back, I was watching out for a sale in SM especially in the shoe section. My first and last stop was Parisian. They almost always have items on sale so I was very excited to check out a few pairs. I tried a number of shoes and I had a hard time choosing which one to pick. I ended up buying something that was not on sale but it was still very affordable and cheaper than the other pair I was supposed to buy. I've been looking for a great pair of wedges that I can comfortably travel with since I only commute from and to school. And despite the haste of getting this pair (we went to SM around 9 pm so I only had 1 hour to shop), I wasn't disappointed.

I bought this by accident and here's a story behind this pair of shoes.
I was about to buy nude Parisian wedges that had a 20% off price tag. It was originally priced at Php 999 and then it dropped to Php 800. I thought it was a steal and, at the same time, I liked the peep toe style and the bright print designs on the side. I approached the SA to tell her I was going to buy the shoes but I was surprised when she told me that the it would be 50% off the next day. I was just looking at her for a few minutes because I didn't know how to react to the information she gave me. I mean why would you tell a customer that the price of the item she was planning to buy was going to drop the next day? Did she expect me to go back the following day? Was she trying to discourage me from paying more? She might have had a good intention for telling me that I could get the item at a lower price if I waited the next day. However, I didn't have the luxury of time. Some of us would probably feel bad and discouraged. If you can't go back or wait for the sale date, why would you buy an item that you know would depreciate greatly in value the following day? Practically, you would wait for the price to drop. Otherwise, you would not buy it at all. And I must reiterate the word PRACTICAL. If you have the cash to burn and time to spend, then it wouldn't really be a big deal.
I think it is okay to disclose such information but sometimes SAs should be sensitive as to when to inform the customer about it. I was about to pay for it for goodness sake. If you're trying to sell something and the customer is willing to pay, I think there is no need to disclose the information right before the customer pays for it. It's a sealed deal. Nakapili na ako ng sapatos, babayaran ko na lang. Para mo na ring sinabi, wag mo munang bilhin ngayon. Bukas na lang. Di ko muna tatanggapin yung pera. Ano yon? Wag agad-agad??? Kalurkeyyy! Unless you can offer the customer a better transaction at that moment, just don't say anything about it. Kasi sa totoo lang hindi niya rin naman ako maaaccomodate kung gusto ko yung 50% discount diba? So kung hindi ako makakabalik, I need to pay Php 800 tapos the next day Php500 na lang siya. Hindi ba nakapanghihinayang? Php 300 din yon! Pangsine na sa MMFF!
I politely returned the shoes on the rack and looked for something else. Hindi ko na lang pinaramdam sa kanya na sobrang nawala yung enthusiasm ko na bilhin yung sapatos. Wahahaha. :P
Then, my love for Parisian turned me to this pair of wedges!
Super comfy and light!!!

I love the style of this pair of shoes. It looks great on my feet and it can match my casual and smart casual outfits. The wedges are available in brown and black. This is one of the new arrivals and Parisian offers a variety of style of wedges. Check them out and I would love to know what Parisian shoes you picked.
This pair was cheaper and it was fresh out of its box when I asked another SA for a new stock. I was still happy with my purchase and, although I felt bad at first, I was grateful that I didn't buy the previous pair. :P TEEHEE!
How about you ladies? What are your thoughts about the "SA incident"?
