Shoes, glorious shoes...

The number of shoes I have is absurd. 

My shoe collection

I never even realized it until some of my co-workers commented on how it seems like I have a pair of shoes for every outfit. So, I went home and did a quick count... and I am embarrassed to say... I have over 50 pairs. Insane, right? Well, don’t be so quick to judge. I never buy shoes at retail. And, it’s a good thing, because lately, I buy the shoes first, and then create an outfit around it, like this one:


Sheer flower shirt: $3.99 (Goodwill)
Cami: $4.99 (Charlotte Russe)
Capris: $5.99 (Goodwill)
The shoe that inspired: $24.99 (TJ Maxx)
And, this one:
Sweater: $19.99 (Target) Graphic tee: $3.99 (Plato’s Closet) Capris: $5.99 (Goodwill)
The shoe that inspired: $4.99 (clearance at Aeropostale)
How many pairs of shoes do you own?

  1. Let's see: 2 pairs of black dress shoes (need replacing), 2 pairs of brown casual shoes (need replacing), 2 pairs of tennis shoes (one still good), 1 pair of black casual shoes (still good), 1 pair of winter boots, 1 pair of garden loafers, and 3 pairs of flip flops = 12.

    But as I think about them I realize I need to do some shoe shopping!

  2. Hmmm... I think you're right. You have some catching up to do. :-)
