about shoes
every time i felt sad i would head to the nearest payless (5 mins away from home!) and get a lovely new pair of shoes. it wasn't like an addiction it was just nice like new shoes were a new start. to me, shoes were the new hope for a better day tomorrow. i now still have over 20 pairs of shoes at my mother's house... after donating a bunch before the wedding. i know atleast 5 of them i haven't worn yet...
i think greg is relieved i haven't had the chance to pack them into the car to take to our place... my mother conveniently has packed them in a box already for me to take away... she really wants the space. this week, i spent some energy putting together a shoe rack to house them.
do i feel bad that i waste so much cash on shoes? when i know my clients are starving every day and can only hope for a small meal? i don't. surprisingly i don't. and i won't be donating my shoes to them either. that's definitely impractical. i do feel bad that i haven't used some of them yet. i consider myself a conservative person who doesn't waste...
i think i just miss my shoes.
so i'm having a shoe homecoming next week. i know i won't be able to keep them all (boooohiss) - but before i decide to get rid of any of them, i am going to wear them atleast once this year. there are some very practical spring shoes for sure... but for example i have no idea when or where i will wear sequined shoes with sharp golden spikes for the heels or red strappy stripper platforms (highly inappropriate for work).
