Today is clean up day at Home and I started with my Closet.
I knew I had too many shoes, but you never really know exactly how much until you take a closer look. I have been so reluctant to go through them as they are neatly stored and “don’t seem” to take much space. I am so ashamed to admit that some of them are still brand new and have been that way for years. Working for a shoe company at some point really helped suppress my love for acquiring more and I am very thankful for that.
I stopped wearing high heels when I became a Mom and I’m not sure I could ever walk comfortably in them anymore. Well, a 4″ is still doable provided that it allows me to lean down, pick up my babies without straining a muscle. I am holding on to a few from my favorite brands Diesel®, Puma® and New Balance® (they make comfortable and breathable shoes). My current obsession are Flats, and they go well with pretty much any outfit.
The shoes above are those I am definitely keeping. I received them as gifts. Ravel’s Rarity was a gift from a cousin in London following my graduation. The others are from my dear husband. Two Lips Destiny was a gift following the birth of our Son and Bamboo Captivate was a gift following the birth of our Daughter. These shoes are super comfortable.
The Circus Cutout Suede Bootie by Christian Louboutin were my 2010 Christmas Gift from one of my junior brothers. I love them and they are one of the most expensive shoes I own to date.
Going through my shoes in shoe boxes, I found a few I am no longer in need of and others which simply don’t fit right. I will sell a few and donate others. I will hold on to this gorgeous Strappy Pumps by Simonelli, 100% made from Recycled Materials (as I was told seven years ago). I also listed some Vintage Dolls and Vintage Clothing.
