What a timing! I'm actually downsizing my shoes right now. Selling most of them online. Some are brand new, never worn! And I'm gonna get all of them out. All!!! And replacing them with barefoot type of shoes. Better for my health and they're so comfy. It seems that I'm healing from my shopping addiction and replacing it with a selling addiction. 😂 It's fun! I'm letting go of so many things. And truly letting go! Including the idea of fashion. I want to have a wardrobe where there's only stuff I like and feel good in, and use!
16 pair and probably one will “die” this summer. I never declutterred shoes, I wear them to death. Good quality shoes (but not luxury brands) are expensive (my budget is 200 EUR), so I keep them as long as repair is no longer possible. I buy only classic styles in black and brown.
Perhaps 20 pairs BUT I battle to find shoes etc that don’t hurt me, so I buy what fits well. Of those 20 pairs I wear about 8 of them regularly. Another 3 are winter stuff. Ok … I see what you’re saying. I have too many.
For me, the letting go of shoes is letting go of goals. I had the cute party shoes, fancy shoes, for the times I was going to go out, have fun, celebrate life. That doesn't happen. And letting go of the shoes seems like I am admitting it never will. I downsized, but kept 2 pairs. So if that day of celebration finally comes, I'm ready! 👡 😊
My dogs decluttered my so very beautiful and irreplaceable shoes. They ate one of each pair. I am traumatized. But, now that I have 7 pairs of my lesser favourite ones (my dogs have expensive taste) I don't know how many or which to take in my next move. Thinking of buying more is not guaranteed cos I don't know if it will be in budget. The main issue is, I am trying to travel carry on only for the first time in my life, but the shoes don't fit in the bag.
Exactly. I would have froze them and saved on gas and time having to purchase them again...granted I am Mexican so I would eat them sooner rather than later. LOL!
3 different types of farm work boots 2 tennis shoes 1hiking boots 1 cowboy boots 2 heeled boots-both could go after this spring- 1 pair is starting to hurt my feet and the other pair I don’t wear 2 slip ons 5 dressy heels 4 sandles Ha 20! I could let a few go…
I think it's about time the minimalists change their name to ''the maximizers", considering how meager life has become throughout the world. We really don't want to minimize more, we want richer more sustenance based lives. Peace out, Johannes
😂”I think I’m the best writer in the world but the world knows I’m not.” Sounds foolish. Maybe the answer isn’t being content with your delusions of grandeur but accepting that writing may not be your calling and finding contentment elsewhere.
