one of those girls

I always knew I was a shoe whore. I mean nothing makes me giddier than a brand spanking new pair of ass kicking shoes. The kind of shoes where you can pretty much wear all black, or jeans and a t shirt and they take centre stage. I mean sure, i have the basics, white leather keds, black flats (with stylized cutouts), black pumps (very expensive italian patent ones), etc.. But I also regularily covet the ones that give other people reverse whiplash. Their head whips down super fast, and around as you strut away... where would my swagger be without these babies?

Shoes definitley aren't the key to my self esteem, but they definitley boost my confidence. i can't even imagine having that feeling in a pair of flip flops!

Today I have realized that I am one of those girls. You know the episode of Sex and the City where Carrie has no money for a down payment, but a closet full of shoes. I am now one of those girls. I haven't bought groceries in a week. I am seriously considering a cereal diet in order to facilitate future shoe buying (and crawling out of the shoe debt I am currently in). I have to say, my daddy raised me to be more financially responsible than this, and now look- i'm one of those girls. I may be bummed, but I'm not ashamed- I still have my swagger. Complete with a fierce pair of studded strappy heels.


N.B. I always find money for drinking. Food is really third on the list.
