I’m baaaaack… the mad hatter!
I got a lot of wild responses to my wall of hats, but I really think you’ll like this:
My newly organized shoe closet, or, as my husband calls it, ‘the shoe-y decimal system.’ Har har har… dad jokes.
Anyhoo, I decided I would ‘file’ the majority of my shoes by color or print in large clear open bins. There are a few enclosed shoe boxes that hold nicer shoes. I’m not preserving or curating my shoes. I wear them on the regular in rotation. I’ve gradually added them over the past 20 years, which was close to the last time my feet changed size after my last pregnancy. I’ve got a nice representation of leather Vans, an assortment of ankle boots, flats like loafers or oxfords or ballet flats, and sandals in lots of colors and styles. I also love clogs and I have several pairs of those as well. For boots I have a mix of new & vintage Fryes and Dan Posts. I’ve thrifted probably 30% thus keeping them out of landfills. So please, no snark. People are allowed to have more than three pairs of shoes. Tomayto, tomahto.
