I was speaking to a friend of mine today and she described herself as a jewelry whore (but personally, I think she is big shoe slut too! HAHA! ). I am definitely less of a jewelry whore and a much bigger shoe slut. What are these seemingly derogatory terms, you might ask? Well, it all has to do with your addictions...(and we're not talking about the kind that require an intervention, although the more you hit zappos.com the more that intervention might become a shopaholic reality for you...)
Tracey and I both share a love of interesting unique shoes. From dressy pumps to killer platforms to funky wedges, we both LOVE LOVE LOVE shoes. We covet them. She told me she used to save up as a young teacher and each month she would do her best to treat herself. As a female, you might begin your shoe-sluttiness by hitting Payless a lot but as you get older, you begin to uncover internet treasures and boutique shoes and, well, the next thing you know, you're credit card is screaming for mercy.
My friend would probably trade in jewelry for shoes but she is also very into the jewelry thing. In fact, she has actual earrings that match actual outfits. I am not talking about slight coordination. I am talking about apple green earrings that match the apple green threads in the patterns of a sundress (or something like that). Wow. I am totally NOT that person. I like silver, I like variety and I hate earrings. Bracelets are cool, necklaces are even cooler. Rings are my favorite. I feel constricted by jewelry in the summer and I love big bold pieces but only if I'm in the mood. I sound picky but nothing like a jewelry whore. Sorry, Tracey, you win on that front!
And now I am off to zappos.com....sssshhh, don't tell my other 80 pairs of shoes...they might get jealous...
