Confession: I’m Addicted to Shoes
May 12th, 2010 | Categories: Style | 7 CommentsI did a good amount of downsizing my wardrobe when moving out of my dorm last week. Currently I am in the process of downsizing my wardrobe at home so that my closet will contain items that I actually wear on a regular basis. Amidst all of this reorganizing and donating, I have come to one grand conclusion:
I am never allowed to buy shoes ever again. Period.
I always thought my weakness was scarves, and while I do have a lot of them, the amount of scarves I own has nothing on the amount of shoes in my closet. I can’t even bring myself to share the number of pairs I own. The number is too astronomically large even for my own comprehension, especially considering that I’ve only got two feet to wear them on!
Someone please comfort me and say that you have an addiction to a particular wardrobe item or staple, too?

Hi, I'm Manda. I'm a college student studying communications and languages. I like to read, shop, bake, and travel. I have a tendency to listen to my favorite songs on repeat for hours on end. Sometimes I catch myself thinking in a language other than English. 
Navy blue items. I mean I own navy blue shirts, sweaters, tank tops, camis, even converse. It’s a little bit ridiculous since 75% of my wardrobe is the same EXACT COLOR.
Shoes for me, too. I have a built-in shoe rack in my closet that is currently holding. . .approximately 20 pairs of shoes, I think, an over-the-back-of-the-door thing for sneakers that I think has. . .like 10 pairs? on it, various flip flops. . .and then I unpacked my summer clothes to find 8 more pairs of shoes for the summer months (wedge heels and the like.)
So the basics of what I’m saying is. . .I understand. :)
But shoes are yummy! Surprisingly, as much as I love shoes, I don’t actually own that many pairs. I wouldn’t really say I own an abundance of any one thing, really. Maybe grey things? I like grey, so I have more grey clothes than any other colour. Or socks. I have a lot of socks. But socks are fun and necessary, so I feel having a lot of them is validated. :P
shoes….and bags.. i may have around 50… and use 5 of them….
You’re not alone! There’s no such thing as “to many shoes” ;P I never get enough shoes, my closets are overflowing with them and I just keep buying more!
Another obsession of mine is earrings. Especially big, dangly ones. I don’t even want to know how many pairs I have….
Socks and necklaces. Granted, a good chunk of my necklaces I’ve made myself, so that’s all well and good – but I have a serious sock problem!
I went through a phase where I was addicted to designer denim and spent thousands of dollars on them… now all but one pair don’t even fit me anywhere since I lost weight so it was the biggest waste of money ever. I think it’s the only thing I regret right now! I got rid of most of them but still have a couple pairs to sell.
