One of my best girlfriends just phoned me tonight to ask me my advice on a recent purchase she just made. I’ll keep her identity anonymous as I gave her my word that I would not tell her husband how much she’d just spent on a pair of shoes. Puh-lease, like I could EVER even think of doing such a thing! To snitch would be a violation of the rules of feminism! LOL!
Anyways, she told me that she’d just spent $600 on a pair of Manolo Blahniks and needed some reassurance that she’d made the right decision. I can’t say that I’ve ever had the opportunity to rock a pair of fabulous, high-end, designer stilettos- so I can’t comment on their quality, comfort, etc. But, what I did say is that I can totally relate to her decision to “invest” in the perfect pair of shoes. A great pair of shoes (or a great handbag) to a woman, is like a great suit for a guy. It’s an investment piece. It can help land you a job, or even a date! People notice them, and to a true fashionista the distinction between ordinary and designer is clear as day- and totally worth it! (Although, if it were me, I would totally splurge on a pair of Christian Louboutins or Jimmy Choos long before I’d buy a pair of Blahniks!) Perhaps the best piece of advice I can offer is that if you’re trying to justify spending way too much money on a pair of designer shoes, the perfect person to call is your gay, shop-a-holic, best friend!
