Shoes can make or break your look, so I'm usually willing to drop a lot of money on a decent-looking pair of kicks. However, the most durable, comfortable, versatile pair of shoes I've purchased in recent memory was an $18 pair of gray Jack Purcells from Urban Outfitters a couple years ago. I was proud of myself; it was quite the bargain.

Looks like Old Navy might be the next place I'll find my shoe deal of the century. These exceptionally cool, patterned slip-ons just went on sale on the company's website -- selling for a mere $20. I don't how they fit, as I've yet to try on a pair in person, but the flannel design is right in line with the Seattle grunge revival, plus it would be a nice way to give a nod to the crispy October temps.

I had all but given up on Old Navy ever again creating anything that didn't look like it was intended for a generic suburban high school sophomore, so this will be a good excuse for me to poke my head in to see if times have changed.
