I'm probably overthinking this, but I think I need new shoes...

I kind of know the CEO of the new place that I'm going to from other things. I know that she loves designer shoes. I, also, love designer shoes. She knows how much designer shoes costs.

Should I not wear my designer shoes because I know that she'll be able to spot them and she knows how much they cost? I don't want her to think they're paying me too much (which they aren't) or that I'm squandering my money on shoes and should not be trusted with company money.

I think I'll have contact with her a few times a week. 

See? I told you I was probably over thinking this.

  • i wouldn't worry about it. :) she will probably appreciate your sense of style, especially if she appreciates those things herself and it may end up being a conversation topic. :)

  • I think you are overthinking this. Don't worry about it. It's your love and passion, that's what you spend your money on! Other people love crafting and have the same amount of money invested in craft materials and supplies, or their boat, or their cars, or their gardening, etc.

  • I feel like, if she has a positive attitude towards designer shoes, you should wear them!  If you knew she would think badly of you then I guess I would think twice about it, but it sounds like she would more likely appreciate your taste.
  • I hate and love starting a new job. I always feel so awkward.

    Thanks! 

  • wear your designer shoes! you earned those shoes with all your hard earned money and anybody who meets you would get in two seconds that you are a classy chick you knows how to put an outfit together.

  • don't worry, you're totally overthinking this. if anything, it will be a bonding thing for the two of you! my old boss recognized designer pieces, and it was never an issue.  

  • If she can afford them, then they're over-paying her too much as well (if she thinks they're over-paying you!).  :)

    If she ever asks about your shoe collection (apart from to be envious), you can just always say, 'Oh, I've gotten a lot on sale' or 'Oh I have a friend that works at Nordy's who gets them for me.'  I've used both those lies because it is awkward when people ask you how much you paid for something!

    Plus, you can also always say, 'Oh, I have a really difficult time finding shoes that fit my feet well and these are the only type that do.' 

    I have lots of excuses to justify your shoe collection.  PM me any time you need a new one.  :)
