When I was a teenager I’ve done many different part-time jobs to buy some shoes and bags. But now I don’t spend money for them because I want to save money to do other things which is worth to doing. There is about two months since I bought the last shoe and bag. Because I was so tired that I went to home immediately when I finished my work. I think almost girls usually buy a bag which is famous brand like Gucci, Burberry and so on. But my shoes were not cost much money. I think comfortable shoes is more important than expensive. Sometimes I choose some cheaper bags or shoes not only their quality is good but also it is good looking. The more important point is some one suitable for child, some one suitable for adult. Choosing the best one what you need is a good decision.
