impulsive me

i just love a good spontaneous purchase*. an unexpected moment where without any planning ahead, you're telling your bank account that you will be less today. what a thrill! with shoes, right before i go to the counter to hand over payment, i glance at my feet and day dream about this pair becoming my absolute favorite that i wear 5 days a week and couldn't imagine life without. that always helps validate the purchase and gets me into this 'must buy' state of mind. how could i deprive myself of shoes that were meant to be? i love gray shoes, i love hi-tops. so in this situation, a shoe that is both gray and hi-top? well, that's an automatic move to the head of the class!

*bad spontaneous purchase = replacing a flat tire or buying a plane ticket for a funeral
