I hate heels. But I admit I love a good bag. I can't afford a good one, but I love them anyway!

I don't really care much about either! I like shoes and bags that I can wear with anything, so I can make one purchase and be done until it wears out.

Latest Review: "The Sins of His Grandmother" by Jeremy Francis

Post by Moe4522 »

I actually hate heels as well. They are quite uncomfortable. I do wear them for fancy occasions and that's about it. The only reason i like them is because they make me a bit taller, but other than that, i can't even wear them for too long without them killing my feet. I'm more of a comfy person. I'd trade high heels for flip flops any day.

I am a big purse person though. Not so much lately since I've been trying to save money and so on... But i do have a TON of purses... Big ones, small ones, medium ones, clutches...

I definitely get more satisfaction from buying purses than shoes.

I collect sneakers not shoes and have two handbags and two book bags, on the other hand my eldest pulled me aside one day and said "What's the deal with purses?!!!", apparently my daughter in law has multi shoes and bags for every outfit...I can't explain it myself...

I never wear high heels.
I have a few low-mid heeled shoes which I wear now and then.
Most of the time I wear flats.

I own 2 handbags - one for everyday, one for night time.
I cannot imagine owning 40 of them.

What I can't fathom is the amount of money people pay for those shoes and bags :shock:

I agree I mean even if money was no object I can't see spending a few hundred, a few thousand on some shoes or bag just because it has a designer name. My daughter in law shops those sites with sale alerts and all that stuff...But really, if I had more disposable income it would go into a pile of books, not a purse.

I agree. I own one genuine beautiful Coach bag, but after a good discount, sale & coupons it was practically a steal (I worked at Macy's at the time) but I wouldn't get another.

My daughters grandmother on the other hand, has bought several pairs of red-soled shoes, costing more than a grand, each. It's all about the name.

My indulgence is perfume, even that I wouldn't go much over $100. My daily uniform is shirt, jeans and sneakers but it makes ya feel nice when people take the time to say "Mmmm what are you wearing? You smell soooo good!".
