What's in Store at Payless, summer accessories

I haven't been to Payless in what seems like forever. And why would I, I'm still going strong with Thrifty Threads 365. However, I was out with my cousin and she wanted to pop into the affordable shoe chain to find some sandals. While she was browsing, I was focused on the prices because in the past I remember being amazed at a $60 price tag for one of the designer collaboration shoes. I mean, it's Payless, is anyone really going to pay that much?!
Luckily on this visit, I wasn't dumbfounded by the prices and I saw a few cute shoes and accessories for summer.

I have a simple black maxi I scored years ago for less than $15 and it's always in heavy rotation throughout the spring and summer months every single year. Though I adore it, it's getting a bit boring.
