Help with Accessory Obsession

Shoes, handbags, jewellery, clothes, cuddly toys … I don’t think I know one woman who hasn’t got ‘a thing’ with one or other of the above. My personal ‘thing’ is shoes – particularly the impossibly high, strappy, impractical sandal which I might not be able to stand up in for more than an hour – but do they look gorgeous!! Unfortunately weather and swollen feet are conspiring against me so much these days that I’ve had to start avoiding shoe shops for fear of going into a serious depression.

But lately I’ve discovered light at the end of the tunnel. Wandering through Mothercare the other day I couldn’t help noticing these gorgeous baby outfits positioned enticingly right by the entrance. Soooo cute. I’m worried I’ve another ‘thing’ developing. It’s got to be genetic or maybe something that is ingrained from an early age by society through TV, magazines, fashion ads. I’m the most level-headed person I know and even I’m not immune.

Am I crazy to think this ?? Or has someone out there found a way to avoid being bitten by the bug?
