I LOVE Shoes!

I LOVE shoes! Flip-flops, flats, running and walking shoes, sandals, pumps, wedges, killer heels and of course BOOTS! I adore booties that lace up and booties that don't, ankle boots and mid-calf boots, below the knee boots and over the knee boots, snow boots, ski boots (I don't ski!) and rain boots too. Everyone needs rain boots, right? I don't discriminate with boots, they are all quite wonderful and each have a purpose in my happy little world.

As you may have guessed, I have a closet full of the most fabulous shoes and boots. Some (gasp!) that have not yet hit the pavement. I love footwear. I find shoes at Target, Sole Society, Nordstrom, Amazon (Prime Membership), Zappos (VIP - Free Overnight Shipping, of course) and other retailers too. It is so easy to find great shoes that I can always make a case for purchasing them. I might want to wear these with (insert jacket here) or that (insert outfit here), or I might need them when I go to (insert location here). I can always find a reason to buy new shoes!

However, I am starting to feel like I may have a problem with shoes.
Here are some reasons why:

• My closet must be shrinking because I am running out of room for shoe & boot storage
• All of this shoe buying is having a financial impact on the family budget 
• God only gave me 2 feet
• Two of my SONS (yes, the boys) seem to have inherited this shoe obsession gene
• The idea of not buying shoes makes me a bit nauseous
• I feel a bit guilty when I bring another shoe box into my house
• I might have forgotten that I own certain pairs of shoes

Now that I have listed the above, I know what I have to do. And the truth is, it pains me to say it....which only confirms that I MUST. STOP. BUYING. SHOES. (AND BOOTS) for 1 full calendar year.

O, Wow! I've put it out there now....

I am NOT going to buy any shoes or boots in 2015!

Big deep breath. Okay. I can do this. I am stronger than this. But wouldn't it be easier to train for a marathon?  Swim the English Channel? Climb Mount Everest? Learn a foreign language? 

I invite you to follow my journey (without new shoes), it is sure to be an adventure.
