So, long overdue and much needed, I spent a good part of Saturday tidying and re-organising my shoe shelves and cupboard. What I also (barely) managed to do was throw out a few pairs of shoes!! Winter shoes, that is. I had to be pretty strict with myself, and when it comes to my shoes, its really difficult.
I have both shelving and a cupboard / chest of drawers for my shoes besides the slide out drawer and the 4 basket-type drawers (just for shoes) I have in my main closet. For my shelves, I bought these fantastic boxes in different sizes and designs, they’re really strong and sturdy and of course, very pretty. I had looked into going the clear-box route, but I think these are lovelier. I’ve photographed most of my shoes, just haven’t got round to printing them to go on the relevant boxes, but a lot are there already. Take a look:
The idea for the hats hanging on the side, I got from the clever SheBee a long time ago when I was lamenting what to do with my hats.
In my shoe drawers, I managed to do some re-organising too, it now contains most of my winter shoes and boots. Check it out:
I did actually manage to throw a few pairs of shoes and boots out!!! 3 pairs of boots, a pair of ankle boots and a few pairs of pumps, I’m so proud of me!!
Picked up of another shoe-loving-blog:
Number of empty shoe boxes you cleared out while counting up the tally: 5- shoes are in pretty boxes instead.
Most expensive pair of shoes: ooohhhh a pair of Gucci ankle boots – they cost a few hundred Swiss Francs (on sale).
Cheapest pair of shoes: A pair of black ballerina flats that cost about Sfr30, they’re okay for work when I do lots of walking around.
Brands of shoes represented in your collection:
Gucci, Boss Orange, Boss Black, Salvatore Ferrangamo, Nine West, Zoom, Colin Stuart, S. Oliver, Bata and a good few more, including local, cheaper brands.
So I’m quite proud of me, I think I accomplished a lot by actually getting rid of some shoes and in spite of the traumatic Sunday I’d had, I’m still just FINE – getting by, just gonna have to deal with it and move on, nothing else one can do.
