Ooo, summer wedges, you say?
Oink - I seem to remember someone coming away with two pairs of boots after a brief shopping trip with me...
I should probably qualify that I've had some of my shoes for over ten years so they aren't all recent purchases.
Maybe we should both take photographs of our collections laid out en masse like a sea of footwear. It would be impressive, like looking at pictures of the Grand Canyon.
People would weep to see our shoes in their full glory. So might I - I've still never braved adding up how much they all cost, although I suppose it was better than spending the money on fags and gin.
Olivia - get out there and buy yourself some magnificent interview shoes. They will give you POWER.
