Spent my money

Slowly walking on the shining floors of a shopping complex, peering at the displays through the windows, wondering how come they always look so good on the models but never on me...

Stepping into a boutique, browsing through the clothes neatly hanging on the hangers, secretly wishing I had more money... Actually I do not even know why I am taking the risk of spending money when I obviously do not have much. *Sigh* Anyway, I went into this boutique and I spotted nice shoes below the hanging clothes. (Yes, I found shoes in a boutique.) I stared at them for ages. They were the shoes I like, the shoes I long to have, the shoes I have been looking for...

I love to buy Japanese fashion magazines. I love the style it carries. And there right before my eyes were the kind of shoes that appeared in those magazines. I have to have them! (Obviously at that time, my sense of not wanting to spend anymore has long gone.)

I saw a lovely pair of green striped shoes. I tried them on but they were too tight. They were however beautiful and so cute! At least to me, they were cute and I liked them. I asked the salesgirl to get me a bigger size but she said there are no more of those. I was so sad. Well, I can't blame them. It was a boutique. They focus on selling clothes. So they probably only have one of each size for shoes.

I saw another pair of shoes that were of the size I wanted. They were of the exact design as the green one, except that they were in red. I tried them on. They were the perfect fit! I hesitated for a very long time in that shop. I wanted these shoes but they were not the colour I wanted. The green ones were so much better. Oh why must my feet be so big!

I bought the red ones in the end. I was happy for a very short time before feeling a little bit stupid. The shoes were the last pair left and the inside of the right shoe was coming off a bit. Still, I bought them. When I reached home, I tried to remove the sticker indicating the size that was sticked inside the shoes. I quickly left them as they were because as I pulled the sticker off, the surface of the shoes were also being pulled off. So now, the stickers are still there, spoiling the perfect look of the shoes.

I feel so unwise as a consumer. They should have cost lower. I should not have bought them as they were not in perfect condition. But then, my love towards the shoes blinded me. I bought them anyway. I love them. That's the most important, right? Hope they really do look good on me. My sense of style sometimes is a bit dissappointing...

I love my shoes! Although that may make me a silly consumer, I still love them. For now at least...
