slow addiction

as a teen, i could never understand my big sister's addiction to shoes. it was unfathomable to me how she can spend huge sums of money on shoes when all you need is one pair of sandals, a pair of closed shoes, rubber shoes for playing sports and slippers. there was a point in my life where i would wear slippers everywhere when i was off work. i just needed to be comfortable. oh, i was so damn wrong!

i thought about writing this because last week, while i was working and typing away at my computer, i suddenly thought about shoes and it made me feel better. i come in an hour earlier than everyone else at work (no, i'm not a goody two-shoes girl -- my shift calls me to do so..haha!) and i suddenly thought about the vintage rose heels i saw at CMG and i wanted to abandon work and cross the street to ayala mall and just buy a pair. i am saving for our bangkok trip so of course i couldn't buy it but just the thought of doing so made me smile. 

so now, i don't just need 4 pairs of footwear...i need 2 pairs of each classic color (tan, brown, white, black and grey -- one for casual outfits (like cut-out heels or gladiator heels) and a closed-one (maybe a peep-toe one) for when i like to dress-up. i also need several pairs of colored ballet flats (probably with rhinestones or studs or in animal print) and studded, beaded or fringed sandals. i still kept all my havaianas slippers as i still do adore them.

what apparel are you finding yourself addicted to these days?

white embroidered boho top - thrifted (my mom's)

boyfriend jeans - abercrombie vintage (my mom's too!)

black platform heels - forever 21

gun-metal silver cuffs - props

sea shell chandelier earrings - random

brown sunnies - thrifted at carbon
