My sense of Style

I just bought a pair of Merrell Shoes (Milan style) for an exorbitant amount of money. The shoes are comfy and have this very unique look, but I still don't know why their shoes cost a lot of money. What is the deal? Yesterday I used my $50 gift card to splurge on a pair of Coach tennis shoes, you know those logo sneaker shoes, and they cost a bundle too. So much so I can't think of anywhere to wear them. I hate flashy stuff, or something that's so trendy that it's common, like Uggs. But I don't have a nice classy pair of tennis shoes apart from my Converse Sneakers, and they are wearing out on me. They are wearing down on my style, I am trying to look more like a lady, like I give a shit every now and then.

My sense of style is more bohemian casual and then very classic, like a classic suit, a classic dress with no trimmings, no frills just simple and chic. Like Katie Holmes style. Like the British Mod look, that's my style. And that style is not cheap, I don't have Katie Holmes money so my credit cards are taking a pinch trying to satisfy that style. I remember when I saw her in this nice wide leg plaid pants, they were so chic, I hunted down wide leg pants all through Fall, and they cost $60 a pop, and now come winter they are now on sale. My sister got her self and her husband 3 piece suits, you know with the waist coats. I should have done that, I love pant suits even though I don't have anywhere to wear them to. I love waist coats. But I may return the Coach shoes and get me some 3 piece suits. They are too fancy shmancy and that suede at the bottom is so not me. I don't have time to clean that suede after each wear. Really who does. We'll see, I'll sleep on it.

As you can tell, it's just been shopping, shopping, shopping. I got so many gifts and gave so little, and bought more for myself that I was consumed with guilt yesterday as I unpacked my gifts until I thought that lot of people probably did the same thing, or not. But it's just been a shopping frenzy, as if the world were to stop and I need to acquire all these things. It's too bad. It's too otherworldly.

But anyway, back to the Merrell shoes, are they any good?

Work has been slow, hopefully slow enough for me to do a proper update tomorrow on my humdrum shopping fueled life.
