One question: where do you keep your shoe care kit?
Until a couple of years ago I always kept mine right at the back of the cupboard under the sink. For me it was a case of out of sight out of mind. On the other hand, as an image consultant I know that a pair of beautiful shoes that are dirty, discoloured or in disrepair can ruin an outfit. Detail is everything.
One day I was buying a lovely pair of boots. They were leather and suede.
'Would you like to buy one of our protectors Madam?' the shop assistant enquired.
'I have one thank you'....'although I must confess it's a while since I used it' (Reminder to self: shake off this interminable affliction of needing to tell everyone I meet how hopeless I am)
'Have you thought about keeping your protector in the bottom of your wardrobe, next to your shoes and boots?' came the reply.
Genius. Absolute blooming genius.
So, now, every time I go out, and every time I come in, I give my suede shoes and boots a good old spray. Just because it's there. On show.
It was entirely logical really. Simplicity itself.
