The day I discovered I had a SHOE addiction

I always knew I was attracted to shoes like a magnet. When I was still 7 or 8 years old, I remember I used to take a small rope and play with it on my feet…tangling and untangling it in so many different ways pretending it was some sort of sandals. Growing older, I would buy shoes whenever I’d go out on a tour to a mall ..impulsively without thinking. 

But the day I called a friend over to fix my shoe cabinet …I just realized SHIT I’m really addicted! I never knew I had that many ..in my mind I had a maximum of 10 while I found I had 4 times this! 

I never knew I had that many because I always liked to keep them in their boxes. Ok there is no way I could throw a designer shoe box never ever on my dead body! There is just a luxurious feel about unwrapping each time these lovelies out of their box and their dust bags…Please people help me here, how can you throw a box embossed with a Prada or a Gucci ??!!!the other uglies or non-designer I just kept in their boxes because I got used to see boxes and that’s it …box equal shoe equal looooooove !

So when my friend first came, she started removing the boxes and throwing them and I felt a part of me dying …but my brief was no F…way you touch at the designer boxes ..throw all you want of the rest BUT JUST NOT THE DESIGNERS !!! We came to good terms at the end as she is a “neat freak” borderline OCD ( Friend when you read this don't kill me :) and I’m the miss disorder by excellence. Well, I can tell you now my shoe cabinet looks like a mall display! Thank you, friend!

But she gave me another challenge: You are not allowed to buy a new shoe until you throw one…Which is so mission impossible because I cannot depart with any of my babies ...Even if in my mind I know I really have to stop else my hubby is soon going to throw me out with them or god forbids without them (he’d probably be better off selling them at an auction). 

But the problem is I can't stop because I need to have every style ever created in all sorts of colors !! each outfit I wear has a type of shoe that goes with it, and if I don't own this type of shoe I just change the outfit. And in mind I'm already making the priority list of the ones I need ...hmmm Valentino rockstuds, Adidas originals, Alexander Wang booties..shit this risks to be damn expensive!

Last time I bought this new men’s oxfords style and I came home hugging the wall for my hubby not to see my new purchase, only to hear my little son saying MAMAAAAA WHY ARE YOU WEARING PAPA’s SHOOOOOEESSSS ?????? shit shit shit !!!

And speaking of this little devil, I think he will be just like his mama a SHOE ADDICT !!!!! because whenever he detects a new shoe purchase …he needs a pair of shoes as well !!
