December marks the holiday season and if you don't already have your party shoes, then you need a pair. Well, even if you're not going to any parties, a good pair of festive is are a must in every woman's closet. At least one pair. And I found the perfect pair at Payless. Oh, and they're currently on sale for less than 20 bucks!
