Oh No! I've Lost Count!

The stunning Vintage Vixen asked me a few posts ago how many pairs if shoes I have, as most of you know I have a shoe obsession and am meant to be on a shoe ban!

Well If I'm honest I had been putting off counting them as I knew it would lead to me having to sort them and be honest as to if I needed them or not.

Unfortunately my arm was twisted to sort the spare room as my nephew will be coming to stay with us indefinitely.

The mess looked like this;

And after a count of all my shoes (yes, I did loose count a few times) I had to admit to owning 97 pairs!



































Ridiculous I know.

Not only did I sort my shoes but also the suitcases out ready for our holiday which were full of my clothes too!

Summer clothes that I put away last year and has never really surfaced this summer.

More on this another time.

So my question to every one would be;

What is your excess?

  1. 97 pairs! How do you even begin to decide what stays and what goes? Although I can say that it is a cathartic experience having a good sort out!

  4. Loving all of your shoes. Not sure how many I have now, I had a HUGE cull when we last moved.
    When I moved out of my mother's home for uni (aged all of 19) I had, bordering on 400 pairs of shoes most of which are still there, sitting in my dressing room doing nada. That makes me sad but I have no room for them here.

  7. Impressive!! I haven't counted mine for a while as I had a bit of a cull of pairs that were getting tatty or never really got worn.

    People would say I have excessive amounts of books. I beg to differ!
