Blue, patent and lambskin, high heels, Chloe. Cost me a fortune (call me cheap or what you will) but made me happy.
Inflation, inflation, inflation ? Almost all of the shoes in the shop starts from a price tag of HK$4,000. Clothes are worse, HK$10,000 seems to be the average. I guess I won't go shopping for a while.
Normally I am not a big spender. I think HK$3,000 for shoes is quite a lot. And I am not into designer handbags. Well, can't afford, more like... But then sometimes it is like I am drawn into this vicious circle. What I want is simply to buy shoes that are pretty and of good quality that are good to go to work. That's when you notice some high street shops are selling mediocre shoes that will not last for a season (in terms of style and quality) at HK$800 - HK$1,000. So, buying brand name stuff seems to be a logical move. But then brand name goods don't start at HK$1,000. The thing is, when you start spending HK$2,500, then HK$3,000 for a "nicer" pair of shoes doesn't seem too extravagant.
So now the bar is raised one more time, HK$4,500 ! I blame it on my recent super stressed work situation... Yes, I was weak.
And hopeless.
