Is it "wrong" to buy the same shoe is 3 different colors?

[Veronica]

I'd buy them in three colors if I thought I would wear all three and could afford it.

It's your money. You decide what you'll really wear.

Of course I don't need all three pairs. I don't even need two of them. My my thread was intended to be a bit facetious.

But for the record, I'm hardly the poster child for consumerism. I live in a TINY house in a not so great neighborhood, drive a not-so-luxury car that's eight years old, don't own anything "electronic" other than my TV, DVD player and radio (meaning, I do not have iPod, a PDA, a computer, digital camera or the like), wear the same clothes and shoes to work almost every week, have no debt other than my mortgage and have a nice little nest egg saved up. My one and only vacation this year will be a biking/camping trip to TN. Oh, and I give thousands of dollars to charity every year. My biggest and only real indulgence is cycling, but I imagine that's the case for most of us. So, while I don't intend to get another two pairs of those shoes, I wouldn't feel all that guilty if I did.

Awww... those poor sad and lonely shoes that thought they were going to have a lovely home.

How 'bout you buy one pair and I buy the other and we can live vicariously through one another? We could send each other photos of our feet looking cute and comfortable in various locales. Kind of like the Travelocity Gnome.

See, this is why I only have brown and black shoes in my closet. I ALWAYS end up resisting the urge to buy shoes in a less-than-practical color. My inner child, however, is begging for a pair of red shoes!

IF you like them so much that you're going to wear them until they're worn out, you might as well buy all three now than one pair now and then another later If not, it's not "wrong", just unnecessary.

I try to apply this rule if I'm "in love" with similar items...

I have a pair of red keens. Makes me happy every time I wear them.

Me too! The first pair of red shoes I have ever owned i believe and I love them to death! I wear them with everything! Even when i play volley ball I wear them! Mine are the Newport sandles.
My dh thought red shoe's would be wierd but since has changed his mind.

[Smurfette]

Not if you wear them all.

[BethHarpring]

As long as you don't wear them alternately everyday, you should be fine.

Maybe every 2 months? hehe. . .

[ElizabethWaland]

I think so... Buying two sets is fine, but buying three is a little overboard...

I wore uniforms in grade school and uniforms again from age 20 to age 34, since I never really had to pick out clothes much I have fallen into the "uniform school of shopping". I find something that works and is comfortable and I buy one in every color offered...for example I'm wearing a black v-neck LL Bean shirt today, I have this same shirt in six different colors and I wear one to work each day. I do the same thing with shoes, pants, shorts, underwear, bathing suits, bras, and socks. This means I only have to shop for new stuff every couple of years!

I love red shoes, despite my mom indoctrinating me when I was young that "only hussies wear red shoes."

Heck, I love red everything...
