A random sharing of what a friend replied when I texted her about me being such a brave girl - by walking away from a shoe sale. "You are not a caterpillar. You don't need so many shoes,"
She is one of a kind. Probably the only female homo sapien I know who has no interest, whatsoever, in shoes or fashion. If we have been distant from each other, it's likely because I hated her for saying that.
If you have seen other girls' shoe cabinets, I'm only a mild case of a shoe lover. My caffeine addiction is a much bigger issue but we'll discuss that another day. But hey, we walk so much everyday, shouldn't our feet deserve something better than crappy uncomfortable rubber soles which doesn't even go with the pretty clothes we hang on our shoulders? What I don't understand is why some girls (i.e. the ones I observe every morning at the bus stop in my neighbourhood) would take that much effort in putting on a matching outfit and handbag, only to completely destroy it with a pair of heels with stiletto so worn out and slanted... How the hell do they even walk in that shite? Worse, a pair of red Crocs.
That holy thing that wraps itself around our feet should not be shoddy. The price tag is up to anybody's discretion. It needn't to be sky-high or studded with diamonds or crystals. For moi, it needs to go with my clothes and comfortable. Imma clothes person. Shoes come second, but not the least of priorities. And no, not every piece of outfit goes with slinky black heels. NO.
Attempting to continue wearing a nearly worn-out flats recently has proven how much I cannot tolerate bad shoe wear. Surprisingly, a good flat shoe wear is harder to obtain than high-heels. Strange but true. At least in my case, I own five pairs of Mary Jane flats but only one proved itself worthy for more frequent use. And that pair needs to be retired soon. The rest were purchased as back-ups but so far none of them worked. I curse and swear most of the time while in them.

Having only one pair of shoe is like owning only one bra. Girls, if you need to learn anything about womanhood - not one bra fits all clothes. 99 types of ways to wear ONE bra is BULLSHIT; that bra will be dead in three months. Same with shoes. How could you work that one pair of shoe to death? Things work in a funny strange way. When you don't need it, the stuff appears in front of you every where. When it breaks down and needs to be replaced, you just can't seemed to find it anymore. I have had that experience. So I say it's never too extravagant to get yourself another pair of shoe. Unless, you own a museum of shoes...
Then again, it's just me talking. Actually there is no rational for getting shoes. If I had asked that same friend why she prefers to spend her dough on watching movies in the cinemas instead of the comfort of her own home with a DVD set, I guess she'd argue it's the whole atmosphere - Dolby surround sound, large screen, couple seats and maybe, popcorn. I could further argue that she is not a bat/rhino/hamster and large screen image and deafening sound waves are therefore, not necessary.
