Not such a bad problem to have...

So I have had this looming project of going through the many pairs of shoes I have had in boxes in my garage since moving into our house in 2007. Considering it is now well into 2010...it is a project that I have obviously been avoiding for a while. When I worked for the shoe company, part of my job was to try on shoes. So needless to say I was given a crazy, ridiculous amount of shoes. Not such a bad problem to have at all. In fact it was pretty amazing. I really loved that job. I think I have possibly only bought 2 or 3 pairs of shoes since I got that job in 03'. I have been hanging onto a lot of the shoes because I always think, well what if I go here I will need those shoes to wear with that outfit. When realistically I don't really have very many places to wear about 80% of the shoes I kept. This could all change one day however, so I will hang on to a few pairs for now :-)
I did good though I am now down to about 4 boxes instead of 9.



Pile of boots


I could not even get all of the pairs in a single shot. But I'm sure you get the idea. lol.
