I really think I should take photos in advance of outfits I think I might want to wear rather than a week late. Looking at this combo in this light, I’m not too sure about the purples going together.
Oh, well, what’s done is done.
I’m wearing a purple cardigan with crystal buttons from New York & Co. over a black camisole and a purple tweed skirt from Target. The heels are the same Target peep-toes from earlier in the week (lazy me!) and elbow-length gloves pushed down to tea length.
Hell-o!
Happy Friday!



I'm going to MOVE just so I can vote for you!

shoe daydreamer, i wanted to ask you – how many shoes do you own in total ?

Anon – Hmmm… not sure. It's probably somewhere around 200. I have a set amount of space and will often sell off or get rid of shoes that I'm not as passionate about to make room for newer pieces.ThanksPoochie

thanks for the answer. i also own about 200 pairs and i have a space problem too (basically despite the fact that i ve got lots of wardbores i cant actually place my shoes there) and i keep them in boxes too, so i was interested in knowing how many you've got in total.where and how do you sell/or get rid of the ones you are not feeling anymore ?i also liked your posts about various colours and would like to ask you to do the rest :)) like blue green gold etc
