Okay, let me be honest with you. I enjoy purchasing clothes and shoes (especially when it is an amazing deal!). Just like some people invest in video games, books, and so on, I choose to invest in amazing clothes and shoes every once in a while. But I would never say that I am a shopaholic.
In light of Tom and I simplifying our worldly items, I went through all of my clothes and shoes and filtered out the items I never wear. I was going to take them to Buffalo exchange (a shop that buys used clothes and re-sells them) and goodwill. So I went through all my clothes and purged the unnecessary items but was too tired to go through my shoes. I don't have that many pairs of shoes anyways so I didn't think twice about holding on to them for a little longer. Well, one day I receive a text message from Tom....
When I got home that day I immediately went through my shoes (it was a lot easier than I had expected because I already knew in my head which shoes I did not want any longer. Tom said that I had to get rid of at least 5 pairs. Well, guess what?! I got rid of 25 pairs of shoes!!!!!!! It was an amazing feeling when all my shoes fit nicely in the closet instead of piled on top of each other.
Do you know how many pairs of shoes you own? I didn't think I had very many until Tom laid them all out of the floor. I encourage you to try this, whether it be with shoes, belts, pillows, whatever it is. Give it a shot and let me know how it goes.
