Does it matter either way? Is it going to cloud anyone's view of you if you own 300 or 3 pair of shoes?

It can actually. The scene espcially can have a fairly harsh view on those it perceives as "Stand and Model" types.

We get judged on everything about ourselves, part of why I love clothes and costuming so much is because of how I can use it to project a particular view of myself.

Come visit California sometime. We have much more than one so called Mistress who has went out and spent a literal fortune on an outfit who then feels the need to attend on average 2 parties a week in the same outfit over and over.
Do they get judged? I don't know. I do know many notice..but I don't hear snickers or anything like that.

NOMC I so identify with being more comfortable butt ass naked than in clothing. I spend all day naked and I am as comfortable wandering about the house that way as people who're comfy wandering about in clothing. Sometimes I forget I am naked.

My husband can give me a run for my money in terms of how many clothes he has. Shoes, not so much, but all the shoes he owns cost at least four times what mine do, and he still has more than several sets. His tastes take quite a bit more money than we have, so he does not get to go buy clothes very often.

That mindset is so foreign to me. I can go to WalMart and Dots and bring together an entire and very attractive outfit with accessories and shoes for much less than he would need to buy one of his shoes. Just one. Then again, his shoes do last him forever.

Yes, you are an oddity. I am an oddity of the same kind. But we are in a minority. I just don't want to bother with owning a lot of stuff, and it's also against some of my fundamental beliefs. I find that as long as I don't talk about it and don't judge other people -- and I don't -- no one cares. Or, if they do, they don't say anything to me, which amounts to the same thing, practically speaking.

No. There's come a point when one can just say: I have enough stuff.

The fun for me isn't spending oodles of dollars, its the shopping and finding oodles of bargins. Like finding dkny sneakers for $8 dollars on ebay. Shoes and purses valued at $200. for under $15 dollars. What some spend on one pair of shoes, I'll aquire five to ten pair and possible a purse thrown in for the same price. And the shopping isn't necessarily for my personal use. Call it a hobby.

Ahh, I don't shop that often these days, just when I expand with old age and my jeans say no way Jose, move it up a size girlfriend your butt ain't sqeezing into me so either shop up a size or buy spandex and do the sausage look.
