Items 10 and 11: Nine West Mules and a Pretty Red Bag
Bags and shoes. Bags and shoes. Boats and hos. Ok, maybe not boats and hos.
I admit it - I love bags and shoes. Though I think at the moment I'm on a bag and shoe buying hiatus (thankfully!). A lot of my old bags are of very questionable quality. I mean hey, I am a teacher and one can only afford so much.
This challenge is teaching me a very important lesson. It's time to start saving for quality. I've spent a lot of my life buying things just because I liked them - even if they were made of plastic. I need to take a page from my stepmother's book and start buying quality. Saving up and buying something nice and durable rather than a million little pieces of, well, crap!
Hmmm...has a lot of parallels in life that little statement. How many times have I settled for a million pieces of crap instead of waiting for something of much more quality?
Cue the crickets...
I guess I need to be less instant gratification - more slow simmer. I need to remember that patience is important and that in this crazy world we live in, patience is becoming a dying art.
Sigh.
Goodbye shoes and bag. I'm sure there will be other shoes and bags following in your footsteps.
