i believe in retail therapy

im not going to lie or sugar coat anything.

i have an addiction...

and it is shoes.

i think it first started when i realized the shoe makes the outfit.

and the more i kept buying, the higher the heel

and the more pricier they got.
but most and foremost
i truly believe in retail therapy
(which my boyfriend obviously does not understand)
thus the reason for the start of this blog!
when the day is just not going your way,
when there is a break up,
or maybe a fight with a friend or family member,
retail therapy honestly gets my mind off of things
and just the action of purchasing
and then wearing your new purchases around the house when you get home...
theres just nothing like it
(yes, i know i have a problem, but dont we all?)

lets take a trip down memory lane, shall we?

but first let me explain -

i have to dress to the nines at my work.

so wearing 5 inch heels is kind of "expected" for the woman :/

luckily, im a survivor and conformed ;) hehe
