Aldo Goes Green/Another Reason to Buy Shoes

We all love Aldo shoes (although maybe not Aldo Ventures Software Analysts which I bet gets a lot of mistaken 18 - 35 female visitors) Now there's more reason to love - and shop! I splurged today (probably ill-advised) and bought two new pairs of shoes (I'll wear them to work, I swear!). At the register, I was interested to see Aldo's new way of "bagging" my purchase. Well, in fact, there aren't really bags. Just boxes. A box-bag, if you will.

Very cool, Aldo. Maybe a little cumbersome and I bet you're annoying the eyeballs out of all your employees each time they have screw on a little shoe-string handle and tape the boxes together, but, hey, we've got a planet to save.

Oh, what did I buy? Well since you asked...

I love the first pair - really sparkly but just the right amount since it's a simple flat. Jury's still out on the black ones, though. I can't decide if I'm being edgy or if it looks like I'm a wounded ballerina. Or a high-school goth kid. Or someone who likes making her legs look short. Or if it was an impulse buy to make myself feel better after realizing none of Aldo's boots will fit my fat calves.
