How to justify buying as many shoes as you want in five easy-to-follow steps

1. The economy is slowing down, so we've got to keep spending in order to avoid a recession.
2. As my mother always says, if you're doing a job, do it properly. If you've gone to the trouble of going out shopping, make it worth your while - never take the lazy way out by buying just one pair.
3. Your current ones might be stolen by a rabid inner-city fox, so it's vital to have a back-up pair. Several, actually.
4. Everyone needs a hobby.
5. You need to match your new bag. You can't go out in last season's ones. Honestly, do they want you to be a public laughing-stock?

As if you ever need a reason, here are the top five reasons to buy even more handbags
