So here are the stories....
MY FIRST.....pair of high heels.
I'm not sure why I bought them but it was during a time in my life where I was trying to stop buying clothes that suited the gangly teenager I was and start buying clothes for the twenty year old I wanted to be. I bought a lot of things that I wouldn't touch back then! So the shoes, I am presuming - were cheap because I didn't want to spend a fortune on something I wouldn't use. That turned out to be complete stupidity because I took to wearing heels very well and realised that if I had spent more money on them then they would be better quality and less likely to break on me! They were a metallic blue, had three straps around the foot and ankle and a spiky silver heel - which was the bit I liked the most. I am fairly sure they were modelled on (basically a knock off of) jimmy Choos which were around then. They eventually bit the dust when the heels wore out and I binned them.
MY FIRST......Expensive purchase that I didn't really need
Like buying a car or a laptop is expensive but there are those times in your life where you buy utter shit just because, you can. This happened about two years ago when I was on crazy money. I didn't plan it, nor had I fallen for the bag in any massive way but I walked into Harvey Nichols and I bought an Alexander McQueen dress and a Vivienne Westwood bag. In one go. I wont tell you how much it was but you can imagine. I walked out of the shop and sat having a borderline panic attack by the fountain. To my credit, I have kept and worn both but I need to have the bag dry cleaned! I've never spent such mental money on anything like that again. I really haven't. I don't know if I could - there are just too many practical things I need right now! Still, for those five minutes - it felt goooooood!
MY FIRST.....Lipstick
I remember this - I grew up in a house where cosmetics weren't really a thing. They were around but not really anything we were bothered by. When I discovered cosmetics I felt I really should buy something. I went for lipstick since it's easy to apply, I knew what to do with it and quite frankly - it was the easiest thing to hide from my mother! So I reached for red. Not just a mild red but the sort of red I wear now aged 27!
I just didn't realise that it wasn't age appropriate! I was about ten at the time. Needless to say, my mother found the lipstick and took it off me. But funny...when I look back, I suddenly realise - I've been wearing red lipstick since I was 21 - almost everyday and its my go to color. Hmmmm.....
Anyone got any stories for me about their firsts?
