Nek, what you doing, I hear on the other end of the line. Is this who I think it is I say to myself, ahhh darn I should not have answered. She only calls when she wants to borrow some shoes or a bag....

| A few of my faves BAGS&SHOES |
Anyone who knows me, know I love with a capital LOVE shoes and bags. I still have my very 1st coach bag and my mom purchased it about 18years ago( hmmm maybe I should pull it out and carry it just because, Thanx Mom). My 1st passion was sneakers. Up until about 9/10th grade, all I purchased was sneakers and I had all kinds. I even remember having the clear "bubble shoes" as we called them back in the day. I've watched styles disappear and re-appear. I wish I had of kept somethings I had growing up because many of them are back in style( although my size has changed... another post on a different day, LOL).
I own high end designers down to bags I've found at consignment shops. I'll buy a bag just about anywhere as long as I like it and can match it up with something. How funny is this? I'll stand in the mirror with the bag on and imagine me carrying it with one of the many outfits I already have in my closet. I know, EXTRA.. LOL
Now, when buying shoes, the approach is totally different. I think of the bags I own to make sure I have something to carry when I wear the shoes. I know, sounds weird but it works for me!! Clothes, I'm constantly picking something up here and there but shoes and bags, those purchases are followed with strategic planning. It's almost like a job for me given by me. I can't let myself down and whatever I purchase must be eye popping and "ohhh & ahhhhh " worthy. don't front, you have those vain moments too!! LOL
Its funny because my mom will come to my house and always try and leave with something when in actuality we DO NOT wear the same size shoe and she has a closet full of bags( some she has gotten from me and never used, like that Prada I spent an arm and leg on, Hmmmmm I feel an Indian given rising up in me..LOL)
I have been judged because some ppl think I spend to much on bags BUT if bills are paid, home is happy and I won't consider returning it when I'm broke( yes, bum chicks do that) then let me live!! What's the use in never enjoying the fruits of your hard earned dollars. Some take trips, I buy bags... Some go out to dinner, I buy shoes. Some ppl like Payless, I like Just Fab, nine West, Aldo and DSW just to name a few!!! Too each his own.
My Godsister/BFF (back home) Tara and I used to shop more than the 7 days in a week. That was before life and children( for me anyway). My bag purchases are now planned out and saved for. I buy expensive ones 3 times a year now, where as before, if I had it to spend it came home with me..
with Life comes Living and Lessons and today's lesson is, I LOVE sharing and giving things away but PLEASE do NOT fix your lips to form the words,,, " Can I borrow a pair of shoes or a bag" bc 9 times out of 10 I'm going to stare at you with the blank stare and respond NO....
Signed,
Ask Wisely!
