I was blessed enough to get the anthropologie Bouquet of Roses heels when my size came back in stock. I literally stalked anthro website like a madwoman until they came back in stock. I paid full price for them so with tax, that was almost $150 UGGGGGHH!! I have never spent that much on a pair of shoes before. They are really pretty, but now I am thinking maybe I should return them for a refund. That is $150 that could go toward Spring clothing. However, I worry if I return them, I will regret it. I have gone as far as filling out the return information, but when I pick up the shoes to put them in a box to mail, I just can't. I am in such a dilemma. Any ideas on what I should do?

NO KEEP THEM!!!! OMG, you would so regret it! They are gorg, and they will take you through spring. I'd love to see them with tights in fall too. Oh they are lovely *sigh*....
They are not my style, but that's not the point. They are obviously your style! That's whats really important.
I've made a point to only buy clothes that I really love. Sometimes the price is a bit more than I wish it was, but I ask myself "Would you rather have this item that you love or 3 items that you only kind of like?" Luckily for me, this philosophy works just as well on lower price points too.
I have never regretted buying the "I love it" item over the "It's OK" item.
If you love the shoes (and it seems to me like this is the case) you will get your money's worth out of them.
It sounds like you've been wanting them a long time, so if you think you'll still love them years down the line, I'd probably keep them. If you have bills coming out your ears, then I understand if you'd feel guilty keeping them - but you can save up $150 by packing your lunch for a month and skipping coffee.
