Yesterday morning I was getting dressed for work and noticed that my penny loafers are on their last leg, no pun intended. That means that sooner than later I will have to go shopping for another pair, and I hate shopping for shoes. I am not hard on shoes so they last forever, I'm talking years here, which is probably the reason I hate shopping for them.
I have friends who own, at any given time, more shoes than I have had in my entire lifetime. I just don't understand the sense in owning so many pair of shoes. I mean, you can only wear one pair at a time. It seems like a waste of money to me.
In my opinion a person only needs about 5 pair of shoes at any given time: a pair of loafers to wear with slacks; a pair of heels for suits and dresses; tennis shoes for whatever, a pair of sandals for summer, and last but most important a good pair of house slippers.
To be fair I must admit that I have a lot more than 5 pair of shoes. I bought them over the years and for one reason or another they didn't fall into my favorite category, so was discarded to the back of the closet where they remain today. Some are brand new and never worn - still in the box! What sense is there in that? I am a hypocrite in my own philosophy, for God's sake!
I guess it's always easier to give advice than take it - even if it is your own.
