When I had a. job I was more prone to buy different shoes to go with different outfits and then there were "dress" shoes for fancy occasions. Those mostly stayed in the boxes they came in. I was highly influenced by a co-worker when I was in my late 30's. I'd never known someone with so many shoes & she freely admitted she could go months without repeating. Another co-worker at that same job arrived one day with colorful shoes the same hue as her dress. It seemed such an indulgence to buy shoes that could only be worn with one outfit. but that was the permission I needed to buy a pair of lavender shoes to go with a lavendar dress. It felt so decadent! Of course in those younger days there were high heels, so many shoes with high heels whether comfortable or not. The older I got the lower the heel I could tolerate until now I rarely wear anything but a flat or very low wedge. I too probably have shoes I should let go but whenever I open the boxes I too am regaled with memories and then the thought I might find a good reason to wear them again. I store most of my shoes in their original box these days, those worn most often stacked on the closet floor, those rarely worn stacked on the closet shelf so high I need a stepstool to reach them.The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20432226.post-9212744837726672852017-06-30T13:57:28.676+01:002017-06-30T13:57:28.676+01:00When I do a big cleanup I review my shoes - what t...When I do a big cleanup I review my shoes - what to keep, what to get rid of. My old almost worn out athletic shoes are moved to the garage for yard work shoes. Over the last couple of years I have had to get rid of shoes because my feet keep getting bigger! I have a shoe caddy by the outside door with slots for shoes. That is where I keep my shoes except for the pair I wear all the time. I don't buy shoes unless I have to. If I were to guess I have 10 pair including Nike slip-ons I wear around the house. When I got rid of my sons shoes that I had saved since he was little, I took a picture of them to keep that memory. The only pair that was missing was the pair that got thrown away when he was not quite two and had a bad case of diarrhea. You get the picture - LOL!!! patty a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01861433552460661701noreply@blogger.com
