I love shoes and handbags, I mean I really love them!! It’s almost called an obsession….well, that is what my husband calls it anyhow. I call it love.

This love started with my very first job, I was a shoe sales girl! Talk about the perfect job for a shoeaholic. I wasn’t even sixteen yet when I interviewed for the job, but I won over the manager with my charm and he hired me. The shoe store was actually two stores in one, they shared the stock room, but were two separate stores. One was a higher price store that carried name brand shoes and the other was more lower priced. I loved working the brand name store, because the commission was so much better! I was pretty good at selling shoes, but I spent most of my paycheck on guess what? Shoes and handbags! You name it, I had every color shoe - red ones, black ones, white ones, pink ones, spectators pumps, do I need to go on? Because I can you know. The higher the heel the better back then…nowadays, I wish I could wear those heels again! It’s tough getting older, but shoot I will always have a great handbag to make up for it!

My love for shoes and handbags has continued, though my taste has matured. So I may not be able to wear the 4 inch heels that I once wore, but now I can afford the designer bags. So things even out, don’t they? And now when I shop for shoes, I am very nice to the salesperson, because I have been there, done that. It’s was my first job and one that fed my addiction!

And always remember, if you are having a bad day go shoe shopping!
