New shoes.
Children can have all their problems solved with a lolly or treat, but it's not quite that simple for adults... or is it.
I have come to the realisation, that while many women are emotional eaters, I am an emotional shoe shopper. Buying other things just doesn't give me the same thrill and pleasure as a gorgeous pair of shoes, with the smell of new leather, or suede, or the feel of silk or satin. Mmmmm.
Of course, all these beautiful shoes require an equally stunning handbag or clutch to enable me to wear them with anything. I have the theory that as long as I have a bag that matches, then I can wear the shoes with anything... jeans and a black top can be made fantabulous with a stunning bright pair of heels and a bag to tie it in.
It's just lucky for me that my favourite shoe shops and designers have sales regularly and there's a couple of outlet stores nearby. Of course, going to the outlet stores is a danger in itself because I always get more than I went there for.
But at least I have something to show for my fits of emotional neediness, I guess. A gorgeous shoe collection, that will always fit me.
