I ask myself this question all of the time. For instance this morning I spotted the JW Anderson chain embellished loafers on Selfridges.com in cream. I have a black pair which I love but I bought them last summer and now I am think the new pair would be good. To add further weight to the argument I have convinced myself that a size smaller would be better as they do give.
I did exactly the same yesterday with Balenciaga tripleS I spotted a silver pair and almost stopped breathing (I can be very dramatic when it comes to shoes) I already have a pair which I love and certainly don’t need changing but I love silver shoes (I have few pairs).
My argument for another pair is quite good (or so I think) the original pair where a birthday pressie last year and it’s nearly my birthday again (two months is nearly)
It’s not just shoes that I love to double up. If I love something then I always want it in a different colour but sadly I never love the second buy as much. (But I never learn) My Ganni leather shorts are a great example. I bought the black pair about seven months ago and I wore them a lot and will continue to wear them. When I saw the green pair in new season I was so excited. Then I started thinking about the pros and cons of green shorts. On the one hand they are prominent and can’t be missed which means I would wear them less but on the other hand they would look amazing with tanned legs. (It’s so hard)
Only this week I bought a little green summer skirt from Zara in Lima and I already want it in another colour. I suppose it means I love what I buy!
