Downsizing
For the majority of people, downsizing is a dreadful word.
It means that there is a change that is about to happen, and at some point,
make you uncomfortable. I have decided to downsize. My downsizing is voluntary
and much needed…….. I am getting rid of some of my shoes. Now if you know me,
you know I love shoes. Heck, everything I talk about here is about shoes. However, my focus is no longer on quantity.
Currently, I have close to 150 pairs of shoes. That number has gone up and down
as I have moved a few times in the past 5 years.
Recently, I made a purchase
that has inspired the downsize. It was a pair of All Stars. Or Chuck Taylors.
Whatever you want to call them. I got laughed at for calling them All Stars.
Whatevs. I digress.
My Chucks, they’re classic. All white, red stripe. So
simple and clean. By far one of my favorite pairs of shoes to throw on this
summer. They got me thinking how easy and simple a good pair of shoes are. Well,….here
was my exact though process…
Wow I love these shoes
Damn I have a lot of shoes, and who would have thought I
have worn these 3 days in a row.
Well you do have to put APB’s on shoes in your closet E
I have too many shoes
I only want 50 pairs of shoes
10 flats, 10 sneakers/sneaker wedges, 30 pairs of heels
Do I own 10 pairs of flats?
Wait, what about sandals? I have a few pairs of those, are
those flats?
I’ll work out the numbers later, but 50 sounds good, maybe
60 and flat sandals get their own category
Oh, I should blog about this.
So there it is. The shoes that it all. So this weekend, I will be downsizing. I’ll
let you know what the final verdicts are, which shoes made the cut and why, and
rearranging them for the upcoming season change.
