We are who we are and each sees things differently. Happiness lies in acceptance of each other.
Jimmy Choos is not so much about how much you paid, but if you can walk in them. I have the Betty shoes, there is a date, the event, on the box of each time I wear them. The amount of times that I have worn them comes down to about $20 dollars per wear.
If you buy a well-made classic little black dress or LBD it will last for years. Mine is over 10 years old to date, I have worn it 47 times. It looks like the day I brought it home.
Plus my Jimmy Choos and my little black dress exceptionally well together. Sadly there will be a day when I will not be able to wear a tall heel, but I will have more than got my money out of them
