I've always picked on my mum for having a MAJOR shoe fetish. She has over 100 pairs and still finds gaps that she needs to fill. I've never got the obsession, and my brother inherited the shoe thing, not me.
But lately, I've realised that I can be as obsessed about PJ's as mum is for shoes!!!! I rarely buy them, being somewhat broke, but when I get a voucher or anything, it's always pj's that I buy! I find myself wandering through Kmart or Target and always end up walking past that section. Hehe.
I'm definitely a shoe girl, I've had to start storing them in the spare room because my wardrobe is full and they're not even fitting under my bed any more!
They're quite exxy though as I usually buy from overseas (shoe stores here either don't have what I like, or they're FAR too expensive for the quality, I buy cheap ones from the US but the shipping's a killer so I usually wait till I can afford to buy three or four pairs at once and get combined shipping discounts), so in the meantime I treat myself to... STOCKINGS! I hate footless tights (although I did just buy a pair in leopard-print that I could not pass up), but I don't mind whether it's brief or needs a garter belt, I'm game. I have so many different kinds I don't even know where to start - from basic opaque (in several different colours) to patterned tights in all manner of beautiful, fancy patterns, to about six different kinds of fishnets (and my recommendation to everyone is the Target-brand ones, they're the best I've ever had and I keep going back to them!), to sheer, backseamed/Cuban heel, vertical striped (think Moulin Rouge/burlesque)... *sigh* they're all so pretty, and so cheap! I can't resist buying a pair if I see some unusual ones.
I love nail polish but don't buy that much, I always have nail polish on my toe nails though and rarely am seen without it on my finger nails but I tend to buy one or 2 colours at a time and wear them until the nail polish gets thick and yucky or runs out then get a new shade. I also love lip sticks, I'd have a 100 different shades if I let myself go but hows this for self control... I only have about 4 different ones! hardly sounds like a fetish does it!
I could buy shoes every day! I used to buy 2 or 3 pairs a month when I was young and single, but DH has this funny idea about getting a decent amount of wear out of my shoes?! I dunno, men!
So, I'm still a shoe fetishist, but I no longer buy shoes just coz they're pretty, I hafta make sure they're going to be (fairly) comfortable, or I'll never hear the end of it from DH...
Have to admit to shoes here as well. I've even noticed that my DD shoe collection is crazily large as well. We went camping a few weeks ago and I laughed to my husband that even though we were only away for a week I'd packed 6 pairs of shoes for our lil Princess.....
Fetish!
