Celine’s Collection Rocked

I could see myself wearing a lot in her collection

I was looking at random Youtube videos when I stumbled upon some porn. Ok, it was shoe porn and I loved every minute of it. But, as a recovering excess shopper (wasn’t a shopaholic…) this video pulled me and I couldn’t take my eyes of of it. I watched more than one video, but, Celine’s shoe collection was the most interesting. At the end of my video time I had to step back and look at this from a personal finance perspective. Look at ALL of those shoes! How much do you think she spent? She said that she wore some pairs only once. What if she invested that money, how much would she have now? But, who am I to judge. She is in the shoe design business and collaborates with some well known people so I am going to assume that her compensation is fairly high.

1.) How big is your shoe collection? How much do you think it cost?

I have gotten rid of a lot of shoes and think I’m around 40 pairs right now. Including several pairs from Goodwill. I think that most pairs averaged around $50-$85 so, $2,000-$4000. Oh my God. That’s hard to believe. Thinking about how many hours I worked to buy those shoes put a lot in perspective. I love fashion and I won’t stop shopping however, I will make sure that I am in LOVE with whatever I purchase and that it leaves me feeling beautiful and fashionable whenever I wear it

YES! Don’t laugh, but I tend to change a couple of times a day depending on the day. For example: once I get home from work I change, if I exercise I wear exercise clothes, if I go out I have to wear going out clothes.

Yes, but, I could go to the cobbler more.

Pre-financial awareness, a trip overseas. Post-financial awareness: debt repayment, savings, and a small trip after looking online for awhile and staying at a hostel or with a friend LOL!

I purchased my riding boots at the end of October and I have been wearing them religiously! But, it’s a little too hot right now in Colorado so, I am hoping it will cool off so my calves stop sweating.

Share your answers to these questions! Am interested in finding out if I’m normal or have a problem. Looking forward to your input.

Loved her “shoe shelter”

Loathed her shoe style

Loved her personal fashion and makeup

Am appalled by what she values her collection at

What do you think?
