Women Spend Over $20,000 On Shoes In A Lifetime!

Women Spend Over $20,000 On Shoes In A Lifetime!

To be honest if you think of it like that it's not so bad.......they are saying approxiamtely 7 pairs a year. Erm, 7 pairs a week anyone?
I probably don't spend an average of whatever $43 is in £ but I definitely make up for it in quantity!!

When I got my first ever job that was it for me. I got bitten by the spending bug and couldn't stop. And I don't think there is a cure!! I lessened my 'junk' buying for a year but it looks like I've fallen off the wagon. NM.

Everyone likes to buy something. Some people might think having so many shoes (or nail varnish, or bags etc) is silly and a waste of money but I think everyone has their 'thing', even if they don't recognise it as such! Some people spend all their money on coffee. As a non coffee drinker i don't understand it - if you drank two cups of whatever from Starbucks a day you could buy a pair of cheap shoes from Primark! Likewise buying CD's or DVD's, computer games, gadgets in general.

Each to his/her own I say! If it makes you happy, do it! (Unless torturing kittens or little kids makes you happy - don't do that!)

Speaking of thing's I like to buy, when I was living at home I had a slight obsession buying bins and containers. I love bins!!! And I don't just use them for garbage, I keep my knickers, socks, tights, and magazines in them too. I think they're pretty. Now that I live in my shoe box I have tried to lay off the bins though......I only have 4 in my bedroom ;)

And ending with what we started on....if you are a shoe lover then how about this? This London boutique lets you design your own shoe. I would love to do this but it's not in my price range. Plus I get a weird satisfaction out of cheap stuff. Makes me feel clever. IDK.

Design Your Perfect Pair Of Heels!

[Edit - I just went onto the Upper Street site and design a couple of shoes - each would cost £202 - for a shoe I can't even say someone famous designed? I don't think so somehow. Even if I could afford it, I would prefer to spend my money on a luxury brand. Plus, it can't cost them that much to make the shoes, they probably only pay the chinese kids 25p per pair!]
