Last week I dropped off nine pairs of shoes at Pasquale Shoe Repair. I am extremely hard on my shoes and I tend to wear new shoes as soon as I purchase them. So after myriad times of sinking Louboutins into mud, gravel and whatever I encounter when I have fun - they needed a face lift holiday. 

During their absence I realized that it is necessary that I purchase some "middle of the road" shoes. Ones that I wont tear up over... tearing up.

The question is what can match the same feeling I get when I put a new heel on with a bright red sole? A feeling that makes me delusional; where my toe cleavage turns into smiles. I sit before my computer on Cyber Monday and am finding it hard to evoke a gasp of excitement while I browse "middle of the road" shoes. Am I doomed? Do I need to get a second job so I can buy two pairs of everything - one for the rave weekends and another for dinners? Who am I kidding? Dinner is never just dinner. 

What does a girl like me do? 

I rather wear black pants and a blouse for the rest of my life if I could continue my red sole obsession and a classic handbag to match... there might be an experiment in all of this or maybe I am just delirious from the massive consumption of stuffing over the long weekend. 

Which would you choose? Shoes/Handbag/accessories or clothes?
