HItting the Stores

This weekend my closest friend and most reliable shopping companion was in town. We had a super time exploring La Cumbre and Paseo Nuevo Malls. I showed great restraint by only purchasing one item: a black cardigan from J. Crew (I know! What a surprise).

My friend returned some items and purchased 3 pairs of shoes. She is a serial returner, so I know she will not keep all of them. A shoe epiphany she shared with me was simple yet profound: there is no shoe that will work with every kind of outfit, for every occasion. So, while you may not need 10 pairs of black shoes, you do need a different shoe for wearing with a pencil skirt and wearing with casual jeans. She has given up finding "the shoe" and I applaud her.
