Shoe-gar Daddies Wanted

A random trend report: Green is in!

Only in the environmentally conscious way, though, if the sale racks at Miss Selfridges and Topshop are anything to go by. Mint green is out. Lime is on its way. Bright candy combos are being filtered down to a lone etoilated pink. Stripes have been striked out and polka dots have been kicked off the top spot. I have a constant need to reinvent my wardrobe and there's more to this than wanting to keep up with trends.

I HAVE DISCOVERED A VOID I CANNOT FILL.

Months of sneakily employed guerilla retail tactics have only resulted in turning my room into a warehouse of shopping bags; filling a different kind of void altogether. Over the weekend, after a spree in Ikea (to buy storage for my shoes), I began a seemingly impossible task of cleaning my room. Again. I discovered, among countless other things I'd long forgotten about, the following:

A lone immigrant shopping bag from Singapore, containing some 'must have' lingerie which I promptly 'must have forgotten' about.

Another surviving shopping bag containing four (!) tops, quietly sitting under my bed before being found. And then it rustled in protest as I pulled it out from its hiding place.

A large paper shopping bag holding two shoe boxes, one of which was emptied and the other containing a pair of shoes I'd forgotten I'd bought..

.. now this is, of course, the last straw. Those who know me will know my love for shoes. A forgotten pair of brand new shoes is a bit too much, even for a self-confessed shopaholic like myself.

I have thus come to the conclusion that The Void is a result of a prolonged absence of Trust In Men. Just don't ask me how I made this conclusion.

Someone suggested that I may be trying to replace Men with Shoes. One is disposable and the other one could be.. in which case, I'd trade in all my Vincci shoes for Guccis.

Whatever the case may be, something obviously has to be done about it on my part.

I have yet to figure out what exactly (and I don't think I am meant to).

Until then, I should continue shopping. Ahahahahhaha!!!

(... only kidding!)

(... on second thoughts...)

Anyway. I ended up throwing out some shoes to make room for new ones.

Sole survivors. Ahahahaha.

I hope this isn't a metaphor for my love life.

That is all.
