Shoe Queen

This subject just had to come up, and I must say I am very pleased with myself for waiting until my eighth blog to write about it. Shoes………

Now I like to think of myself as a rational and sensible human being, so why do I find it so hard to say “NO” to shoes. Off I go down the shops, probably with no intention to bye anything at all, and I walk past a shoe shop, my pace slowing as I do. The obvious question would be why go in? but something about the idea of being surrounded from floor to ceiling by gorgeous shoes just makes me gravitate inside.

So I am inside and I am well aware that there are countless shoes at home nestled under my bed, some of them waiting for there first outing, and still I find my self touching a pair of beautiful shoes that I just know I can’t live without. “I’ll just try them on” Lets face it I already know that I am going to be skipping out of the shop with the shoes in a bag and a smile on my face. And for the next ten minuets I try to justify buying them, “they will go perfectly with my red dress” or “it’s not that cold out there, I could wear sandals”.

Needless to say Lee finds my compulsion for new shoes ridicules, and even though I try to justify every new purchase, he just doesn’t get it. And can I really blame him. Now sitting at my computer not surrounded by temptation I can see that it is totally unnecessary for me to buy any new shoes for the next year, but you can bet I will!! xxx

P.s. you have no idea how long it took me to find just the right picture, so many shoes to choose from!
