• It’s a rare woman who doesn’t stop and look-- when designer bags are on sale.

• Probably should not have gone shopping having just lost 5 pounds from the flu. Clothes fit great—but tight by the following day.

• Buying spurs buying.

• If shoes hurt in the store—they will hurt at home.

• If shoes are comfortable in the store—there is a 50/50 shot that they’ll be comfortable at home.

• I'm much more likely to buy a marginal item, if I'm already buying something else.

• Trust sales people who tell you something is not flattering.
