How many pairs of shoes do you think is too much? If your wardrobe is overflowing with shoes you rarely wear, it's time to consider which ones to get rid of. So if your shoe collection is giving Carrie Bradshaw competition, it's time to take a good hard look at things (we mean your shoe closet) and make some changes, asap. Here is some wisdom. The number of shoes you require is determined by your lifestyle—duh. Ideally, everyone needs shoes for every occasion, so if we were to look at things in a more generic sense you probably only need six pairs of shoes, which are: - Trainers, black pumps, sandals, boots, flats, and flip-flops.
#1 You Barely Wear Them All
One of the reasons you don't need so many shoes is that you don't wear most of them. If you live in a cold area, you don't need hundreds of pairs of sandals, and those boots, no matter how adorable they are, won't be of much use in California. Only spend on shoes that you are sure you will wear and do so more than once!
#2 Spend Wisely
Shoes aren't cheap, good ones at least, and if you have a generous shoe-buying habit, you may be blowing up a lot of money. Quit buying so many shoes, and you'll have a lot more money to play with. Even one pair every month might quickly add up. So, when you buy shoes, consider whether you need them, whether you can afford them, and whether you actually plan to wear them.
#3 Ummm…Monotony
Do you often buy another pair of black pants even if you already have a few? The same may be said for shoes. You find a stunning pair of heels in a store and buy them, only to realize when you get home that you already own a half-dozen similar ones. Buying the same type of shoe that you already own is usually a waste of money.
#4 Space Hoggers
Shoes can occupy a lot of storage space. They cannot be folded or stored in vacuum bags! An integral part of maintaining them is storing them well, usually in individual boxes. It is very important not to stuff or stack them! There are a few shoe storage alternatives, but why waste valuable space on something you rarely use? So here are the kinds of shoes a woman needs and also why we don’t actually need too many shoes. How many shoes do you have in your closet?
