To Keep, Or Not To Keep...

I have a 2-part question.

1. Why is it that when you're looking for something specific, you can never find what you're looking for? 

This is often the question I ask myself when I'm shopping. Take my experience the other day, when I went to Buffalo to do a bit of cross-border shopping. 

I decided that I would be on the lookout for a new pair of jeans, but I really wanted to find a pair of Hunter Rain Boots, and/or flat gladiator sandals to replace my pair that's falling apart. My plan was to wear a pair of old $3.00 flip flops and toss them before I came home. 

Even though I had good intentions, I was highly unsuccessful in finding the boots or sandals. It's tough to be a Size 5 shoe. Most stores have minimal options to chose from, if any. It's a good thing I found a couple of tops, because I was extremely frustrated. Oh and the jeans? No luck there either. Naturally, the ones I wanted were sold out in my size. Typical.

I was however, very successful in my trip to Wegman's. I was able to stock up on my favourite yogurt, Chobani. Since these aren't available in Canada anymore, I have to bring a cooler in order to bring back enough to stock the fridge for a couple of weeks.

2. Why is it that when you're not looking for something, that's when you find it?

While I have trouble finding shoes on a regular basis, sometimes I can find a gem or two without even trying.

Today, the Bay (Canadian department store, for those who may not know) was having a one day sale, where almost all sandals were half price. SCORE! They didn't have a ton of selection for me, but they did have these really cute wedge peep toes...in more than one colour. DOUBLE SCORE!

Now I'm torn. I don't need both pairs, but I can't decide which ones to keep.

Thoughts??

Do I keep these? Just one? Both?!?!

Also, am I the only one who finds themselves asking these questions?
