Chapter 2 Chapter 1 In the office at ten o'clock in the morning

Sofia and Christina Sophia: Good morning, Christina! Christina: Good morning... Sophia: What's the matter? Christina: I had a nightmare last night. I was so scared that I was sweating. When I woke up, my clothes were all soaked.Do you know what I dreamed about?I dreamed that my closet was on fire and all the shoes in the closet were burned! Sophia: Oh my God, that's scary!That could kill you! Christina: Won't it kill you? Sophia: Of course I will, but my loss will not be as heavy as yours... Christina: If this happened, I would cry at home for three days. Sophia: If it were me, I would withdraw all the money in the account immediately, and then start to buy new shoes in a big way.

Christina: That's for sure, and you have to wear slippers to buy it!Hey, what shoes will you buy first? Sophia: Of course the most durable casual shoes. Christina: Well, of course.But what if it happens to be winter? Sophia: Then buy a pair of black ankle boots.How about you? Christina: I don't know, what should I buy first?Well, I need a pair of... Sophia: I bet you that no matter what, you'll go and buy the pair you really wanted first. Christina: You mean those red and brown snakeskin sandals?Yep, so at least I still have a pair of sandals to wear. Sophia: That's right, thanks to the fact that you were still saying "What if it's winter?"

Christina: It doesn't matter whether it's winter or not, the important thing is to seize the opportunity.When you come across the shoes you like, you must be quick, accurate and ruthless.Otherwise, you will definitely not be able to buy your own size.Having said that, what if there happens to be a formal occasion that night that needs to be attended? Sophia: If that's the case, I'll hurry up and buy another pair of leather black stiletto shoes, which can be worn on almost any occasion. Christina: Oh please, you're now on your third pair of these shoes! Sophia: So what.What shoes will you buy next?

Christina: If it's winter, I'll buy a pair of alligator boots.If it's summer, buy a pair of black Prada flip flops. Sophia: In summer I probably wear sneakers or sandals, especially when I go on vacation, I usually buy a pair of transparent plastic slippers for 10 marks, the kind that you can walk on water directly in.You know, those shoes I grew up wearing. Christina: I think it's about time to buy a pair of loafers, because I'm going to go shopping all over the place, so it's easier to walk in loafers. Sophia: I've had enough, I don't need to buy any more for now.

Christina: what?Enough already?I can not.No matter what, I must have a pair of black, brown and dark blue leather shoes.Of course there are boots, both black and brown, and a pair of long and short.There are also ballet shoes with soft soles and straps, depending on what styles were popular at that time.After that, they are low-heeled baotoe shoes, which can be worn in general meetings. The material is preferably linen, and it is black.By the way, I also want to buy a bunch of those slippers without straps on the heel, silver, stunning, and beige, so I can wear them at night.As for the sandals, I want a pair of brown ones with small flowers on them, and the heels should not be too high.No, you need two pairs of this kind of sandals, and you must have a replacement pair.In addition, there is also a pair of high-heeled sandals in any color, so that they can match the clothes in my closet.You know what I'm actually most worried about not finding something?It's one of those platform sandals, that's my favorite look, some of them with cork soles in olive green and gold and pink and orange...

Sophia: Oh my god, how many pairs of shoes do you already have? Kristina: Seriously, if you only need four pairs of shoes, why is your shoe closet getting smaller and smaller?And we have to use the noon break every two weeks to go to the shoe store? Sophia: Because it is very difficult to find those four pairs of shoes that are satisfactory!Okay, don't say four pairs, let's count as three pairs, and the pair of plastic slippers can be ignored first.In theory, I really only need four pairs of shoes like these because they fit my personality and go with all my favorite clothes.The four pairs of shoes I was looking for had to be exactly what I wanted them to be, they had to be clean, simple and without any frills.There are no harsh colors on the sneakers; no laces, zippers, or high heels on the boots; no embellishments, buckles, or sequins on the leather shoes.Yes, that's the way it is. I always hope that I can be clean and simple like this.

Christina: Yeah, no frills, no embellishments, just a big mouth! Sophia: Ha, ha, ha!so funny! Kristina: Well, you're saying that because these shoes are hard to find, you keep buying shoes that you don't like, is that correct? Sophia: Yes.In fact, I always liked shoes, but it was difficult to find the right one.I also love shopping for shoes, so before I find my "ideal shoe", I can always buy some other shoes to wear first, right?So I have some blue shoes because the black I want is out of stock; I also bought a bunch of high heels even though I don't think I look good in them at all; I also bought quite a few size 38s and 40s size shoes because my size 39 is sold out!That's right, size is the key. My foot is the most common size 39. All the styles are sold out as soon as they come on the market.

Christina: That's right, you really have to fight to buy shoes. Sophia: I know exactly what kind of shoes I want, the problem is I just can't get them!But I can't give up the fun of buying shoes for this reason, can I? Christina: Oh, of course. Sophia: Finding a pair of shoes that perfectly matches your ideals is a matter of luck.Like didn't you call me the other day and say you saw the boots I wanted at that store in Eppendorf?I daresay, if I had been a little later, those shoes would have been bought! Christina: Those boots really suit you. Sophia: That's right, that's exactly what I want!

Christina: Well, it's not easy to find a good pair of shoes, not just 39, I tell you, 37 too. Sophia: Oh, why, I thought you would buy anything as long as it fits on your feet!Anyway, you want what no one else wants. Christina: Stop talking nonsense!And if it's what you said, it's a bit too much.When I buy shoes, I do my research first. Every "new shoe news" in a women's magazine, I do my research carefully to see which styles are must-buy this season.Then when the seasons change in January or September, as soon as the new ones hit the shelves, I rush to my "specialty stores" to snatch them up.If you buy everything that needs to be bought, the rest doesn't matter.In the days to come, you can just stroll around and look at whatever you like, and if you find something you like again, it doesn’t hurt to buy a few more pairs.Of course, at the end of the season-changing auction, go and see if there is anything else you can pick up.

Sophia: That's right, I'll just say, anyway, you want what others choose. Christina: All right, all right, whatever you want.When there is a big sale, I may buy a pair or two that are not the most desirable shoes, but they will always be the most popular styles of the season.I rarely buy those black boots.I already had those shoes anyway. Sophia: So I said, you can buy any kind of shoes. Christina: No way!When I buy shoes, I pay great attention to taste and texture. They must be well-crafted, made of good fabrics, and have a satisfactory style.For example, I can't stand those stiletto heels, they look stupid as hell.And just because I already have so many pairs of shoes, if I want to be able to buy them, I can't do without any special features!

Sophia: After talking for a long time, I think it would be nice if your shoe cabinet was burned!Because you'll be able to resume Operation "Shoe Hunting" in no time! Kristina: Yeah, and you can get rid of all the "undesirable" shoes in one go, which is not bad! Sophia: Well, to be honest, are your shoes insured?
