    We were just having a conversation at work about SHOES!
    We were talking about a co-worker's wife's FB photo post of all her shoes.

    I digress. :)

    At my current head count...I have 25 pairs. I'm sure most of you will put me to shame.

    Here's the list:
    4 Pairs of Pumas ( I LOVE Pumas)
    2 Pairs of Sneakers
    2 Pairs of Gold sandal/flip flops
    1 Green thong flip flops
    1 White strappy sandal
    1 brown thong flip flops
    1 purple pumps
    1 brown pumps
    1 black peep toe pumps
    1 timberlands
    3 winter boots
    1 purple BCBG strappy sanadals
    1 silver peep toe/strappy sandals
    2 flats
    1 red pumps (my wedding shoes!)
    1 b&w lacey peep toe pump
    1 yellow peep toes cork pumps

    So, how many pairs do you have? Care to list them?

    I'm not home to count now but DH and I did a count semi-recently and I think I had 24 or 26 pairs or something like that.

    We were trying to figure out how many more pairs I had than he did.  He thought I had 3x as many, I figured more like 2x (it was about 2.5x).

    WOW!!  I used to have alot... now I only have 3!  Moving around alot(!) over the last 3 years has made me put into perspective what I need and what I don't need.

    - 1 pair of running shoes

    - 1 pair of orange crocs

    - 1 pair of purple flats

    Two of which are not helpful in NY winter weather... ugh. lol.

    Lets just say I have over 20 pairs that are kept in my file drawers and under my desk at work.  And 3 pairs that stay in my car all the time.  I don't want to discuss the house/closet situation :)

    Hmm... well I have 10 pairs at work.

    3 pairs in the car (2 pairs of short riding boots & 1 pair tall)

    Then at home I have NO idea.

    These photos were from 3 years ago. Some have been replaced, but I still have most of these plus more. There are 37 in that picture and that doesn't include my knee high boots or ugs (4 pairs there) or my sneakers (2pairs). *sheepish grin*

    @pinkshoes: Mr. Sunrise DID freak! hahaha. I had strategically placed a few pairs of shoes here and there all over the apartment so that he would never see them all together and never know just how shoe-obsessed I was. He knew I had a lot of shoes, but just didn't know how many pairs. And then one day, he decided to be sweet and build me a shoe closet. He went around and gathered all my shoes to put away and all I heard from the closet was, "HOLY CRAP! What the.. are you effin' SERIOUS??!!!" Let's just say the closet wasn't big enough... hehe.

    I have easily 75+ pairs of shoes! I have atleast 50 pairs of heels, about 10 flats, multiple pairs of boots, and slip ons, and I don't even count my sneakers because that just makes the number seem even more outrageous! I have totes of shoes at my parents house, two shoe closets full, baskets on the floor of my closet, and on my porch. Now when ever I come home with a new pair of shoes DH shakes his head at me, and makes me get rid of a pair! Little does he know I now just sneak them into the house when he's not home! hehe And imo he can't say much because he has quite the shoe and hat collection himself! Not to mention all of his dirtbike/4 wheeler/motorcycle gear he has for all of his toys!

    I only have about 10 pairs now... when I moved in with my fiance, he made me throw out a lot of the ones I never wore. I'm glad he did though, because they would have just sat in our closet collecting dust!

    I've never been much of a shoe person, anyway. I do like buying shoes every once and awhile, but I'd much rather spend money on clothes.
