The Shoe Gal in Me


Since last quarter of 2011, I've been pining for this pair.  I only acquired this a few weeks ago, from my hard-earned baking money.





Somewhere between saving up and acceptance (of not getting it), I realized that I was compensating for the "loss" with several other pairs of shoes. 



Oxfords from H&M

 
Jelly shoes from Melissa

Sparkly shoes from Payless


What's the lesson in this?  I could've just bought that first pair with all the money I spent on the others. 

But, where's the fun in that?  I'm close to broke but I'll live.

If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote.  You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki.  I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets.  I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will tu...
