How many pair of shoes do you have? Out of those pairs, how many do you wear more than a few times a year?

Hmm...

• Blue open toe wedges w bows x2: I have 2 pairs of these because I wore the first pair to death, but they were such good shoes that I went and bought another pair. They were on $15 from Target, so I figure that is totally justifiable.
• Watermelon open toed wedges: wore these a lot out in The City and even to work there, but the G-Town office is more casual, so I haven't worn them much since moving.
• Yellow canvas closed toe wedges: haven't worn these once. It is too hot for these. Although I bought them in summer, I've decided that they are a winter shoe. Or at least a G-town winter shoe.
• Red suedish closed toe wedges: wore these quite a lot last winter. I like to wear these with my leopard print pencil skirt. I've also been known to wear these to work, even though they aren't very comfortable because like all my shoes they are slight too small.
• Black suedish closed toe wedges: as above. Yes, I bought the shoes in 2 different colours. But again, they were $25 a pair from Target, so totally justifiable. I have massive clodhoppers for feet, so when I find something I can actually squeeze the bastards into, I will buy more than one pair if they are cheeeep.

[I'm aware I have a lot of wedges... but Target was really into wedges that season, and they are the source of a huge number of my shoes because they do an Aus 11, which most shoe makers don't. Bastards.]

• Black peep toe heels: love these in theory, but am shit at wearing heels so they only come out occasionally. Also, wearing them makes me at least 6ft, which makes me tower over my teensy friends.
• Brown sandals: Target again. Not hugely comfy, but I wear to meetings with clients in the middle of summer because they are slightly nicer than thongs. I would ultimately like to replace them with new Birkenstocks.
• Gladiator-y sandals: wore these heaps, especially to work, but they are starting to tear at the elastic and I am now a bit reluctant to wear them in case I come unstuck in the middle of walking.
• Polka dot closed toe slingback heels: got these in London 3 years ago. Worn them quite a lot, although they now give me blisters on my little toe after about 5 minutes. A bit dated, but I'm hanging on to them because in fashion what goes around comes around... eventually.
• Closed toe daisy flats: Another London pair. Never really worn. Too painful to actually break in. Dammit.
• Grey tweedy pointy flats: a recent purchase, for work meetings in The City, so have only worn around the house trying to break them in. Will wear in a few weeks though.
• Black satiny pointy flats w bow: a recent purchase, only worn around house trying to break them in, too fancy for G-town I would think. Got these mostly because I didn't have a single pair of shoes I could wear with a dress I bought or anything to wear out for nice dinners w parents and so on. These will be highly useful, albeit rarely worn.
• Purple closed toe ballet slippery flats: wear these to work several times a week.
• Brown slouchy cowgirl boots with a small wood heel: my latest, and most beloved, purchase. These were $35 from Target but are FABULOUS. The weather just will not get cold enough to wear em though. I feel I would look ridiculous wearing them to work when it is seriously sunny out.   

Well that was more information than anyone ever wanted to know about my shoes... I'm totally avoiding doing any work.
