As I filter out all of my belongings in order to create my 100 Things List, I'm starting to realize that it is a layered process. I've discovered that I can't just pick a category, give away, sell, recycle or repurpose everything and then be done with it.
I still have that tape running in my head: "Maybe I can still use this." Or, how about this one: "I haven't worn these at all this year, but I'd better hang on to them because I might need them."
Today, I'm focusing on shoes. I think this category is a little more difficult for women than men. We need different shoes for jeans, and pants and also for dresses, etc. I counted seventeen pair of shoes in my closet. Some are for summer and some for winter, including boots. I've got sandals, and sneakers, and flip-flops, and heels, and flats, and clogs.....
I think I'll approach this by choosing five pair that I absolutely wear now and will continue to wear, like sneakers. My husband and I are retired, and this winter we will be living on a little island off the coast of West Florida. So I really don't need boots, and winter shoes like my dansko clogs. Should I keep these? I'm not sure what to do.
Black heels...short, medium, tall.....pointy, not so pointy, and on and on.
OK, I have to make a decision here. I'm not sure what to keep. Any ideas?
Please leave a comment. I need some guidance.....

ReplyDeleteYour loving husband.
Thanks so much for the inspiration! Eliminated about 50% of my closet. Still on the fence regarding several items. We'll see.
