Anyone who has ever went shopping with me would know that it's like walking with a drunk person. I'm not able to walk in a straight line past the rows of shops. There are constant distractions as you talk to me while we walking to the restaurant for lunch. A stop at the shoe shop, a detour to look at the pretty summer dresses, pressing my face against the window to check out the bling bling like a kid outside a candy store...
Now I've been telling myself for months that I simply must stop shopping. Anyone who is reading this would know that I'm leaving the country in just under 2 months now (omg has time flew past at the speed of light or what), and I simply can't keep shopping the way you all know I do! But old habits die hard and there I was, finding myself in a situation again. I've been walking past this shop for months now, looking at this pair of shoes. The first time I saw these shoes I thought hmmm it looks pretty good. After a few more times, and finding myself walking past this shop more and more often, omg, I simply must have these shoes!
As pretty as it looks, we all know that not all shoes fit everyone. Me for example, I have wide feet. These shoes will probably give me blisters and tell me to stop wearing them. Deep down I know that I can't wear these shoes, but every time I walk past, and show my girls these shoes, they all think the shoes look great. And they do! So why not try them on? Well I had this fear that I might love them so much that I must simply have it I'll buy it anyways even if it hurts like hell and I will never want to take them off. A mistake I'm sure many of us have made once in a while, going home with purchases we later regret. Yet, I know that if I don't try it on I will always wonder, "Well, what if it was a perfect fit?"
Finally after much persuasion from my friends, I decided to try it on. Sadly, not only was it not the right fitting for me, they didn't even have my size. Such is life. At least now I can move on and back to my goal of not accumulating more STUFF in South Africa and leave with less baggage, um, I mean luggage.
Hahaha back to REAL shoes, I did find these babies the other day at Sandton. *love*
