Somewhere along the line, my shoe collection became a little excessive.I'm not sure when it started, but I'd have to guess that it was at birth.
You see, I was born with a very rare disease called an obsession. I come by it naturally. My mother and my aunts (when together) are total footwear-fiends. Two weeks ago, all four of them bought the exact same pair of designer sandals for a quarter of the original price. How can you pass up a deal like that?
And how can I pass up a pair of unworn Spring espadrilles for ten dollars at Value Village? I'd be disowned if I didn't buy them! I rock at finding ten dollar deals and Wal-Mart specials.
The count:
11 pairs of flip flops
5 pairs of ballet flats
6 pairs of sneakers
4 pairs of high heels
3 pairs of espadrilles
2 pairs of boots
2 pairs of costume shoes
1 pair of clogs
The worst thing about this is not that I have so many pairs, but that I'm running out of room to put new ones! What was once limited to the confines of my closet is slowly creeping out towards my bedroom floor.
I've been keeping boxes lately, but even those are starting to stack higher and higher.
Obviously my family needs to move so that I can have a shoe room.
Edit September 11: New total! I bought a pair of steel-toed boots for work just a couple of days after I wrote this. 34 and couting!
