$35 cutout sandals add a pop of color to any look

DSW. Just three letters, but so full of beauty. I was Initially turned off by the store set up when I first started shopping there two years ago. Aisles and aisles of shoes were just too much. I was used to going to shoe stores where a sample is set out and you request your size from the salesperson. But here, all of the sizes are laid out for you. What I once disdained, I now adore! And as I became a regular, I found out the true benefits of DSW Shoe Warehouse.

Selection
They truly have every style of shoe (pumps, flats, sneakers, boots) you can think of and despite the size of the store, everything’s so neatly organized. And the store isn’t just some “warehouse” with random, cheap shoes, they have designer brands as well (Marc Jacobs, Stuart Weitzman, Pucci, Miu Miu, and tons more). Even their clearance selection has some good stuff and even good(er!) prices. I snagged a pair of Guess platform pumps at 70% off.

Coupons, Promos and Free Stuff
If you sign up to be a Rewards member, the discounts never stop. Every time I shop (and I typically

never spend more than $60), they mail me a $10 off couponl. And recently, I’ve been receiving postcards to receive a free handbag. The one that arrived yesterday is for a gratis hobo bag (valued at $48) with the purchase of $49.95 or more. Psst! Be sure to read the fine print on their coupons for even more savings. There’s no minimum purchase amount and they can be combined with up to two certificates. You know how some retailers only let you use one promotion per purchase? DSW lets you combine them, so you could save up to $30 off a single pair of shoes! I plan on hitting the store up so I can utilize my $10 off and get the free bag!

(Literally) Thousands of shoes + a rotating inventory = Shoegasm!

No one ever assumes this bag costs $50. The faux croc pattern and gold details make it look more expensive than it really is.
