Retail Therapy

My Thai friend Pravat has a lot of faith in the restorative powers of retail therapy. Ah! The fun we had maxing our credit cards on Orchard Road! I have been controlling my shopping for the past 2 months. Yesterday, I hit the shops and emerged relatively unscathed with a pair of shoes and a lovely scarf/ stole. I now have my eyes on these uncomfortable, beautiful alligator skin shoes. One half of me says yes, yes, yes and the other half of me says, "No! No! No!" So, will anyone help me decide?
