"How many euros? asked my mother, after falling for my oh-so-persuasive emails which detailed the aspects of attaining gold, Golden Goose sneakers emblazoned with my initials. After careful explanation that these sneakers were indeed meant for me, as why would an Italian brand broadcast the abbreviations of Canada or California? (Please disregard the related 'NY' style) These were meant for me, meant for me. So suddenly, the prospect of owning these geese became so real that a flock of thoughts overwhelmed me. Hear me out: these sneakers are a commitment, and I'm not sure if I'm there yet. Mostly though, would I hate myself a year from now for investing in pre-distressed gold sneakers with the glittery letters that I was born with, smacked on the sides of them? But then I told myself, inevitably you will get sick of everything eventually, which is really a more formal version of YOLO.
Essentially Price Per Wear or Price Per Other Options, pick your poison.
Why buy flowers per bouquet, when you can get a Marni flower of printed leather and silk crepe, that will never wilt or whine for water? Would your friends mock you for investing in sneakers? If you invest in this Jennifer Fisher gorilla ring, he will be judging your every move, all the time - just look at those eyes. Or maybe investing in dangling Dannijo gems are more practical? However if you're really about practicality, look no further than this vintage Jean Paul Gaultier unicorn printed silk vest and wear them with those actually extremely practical Rachel Comey loafers. While examining that unicorn print, it dawned on me that the price per goose vs. 3.1 Phillip Lim faux shirt tie skirt, that I lusted for since its' birth, is approximately the same. That's like choosing your favorite unborn child. Or you could bet all your cards and store them with your cash in Balenciaga or Proenza. Or if your less into walking and more into twisting your rhinestone encrusted ankles, then these Tibi mules are for you. All suitable options with a considerable amount of desire, but they really don't come close in terms of comparability.
So what will it be? Geese? No Geese?
