I've reorganized the storage of (some of) my shoes. It's quite clear that there's not enough room left to keep it all neat. Should I take the hint and stop buying more footwear? If only that lack of space could discourage me... Not going to happen anytime soon. I love shoes way too much!
J'ai réorganisé le rangement de (quelques unes de) mes chaussures. A l'évidence, il n'y a plus de place. Serait-ce une indication que je ne devrais plus acheter davantage de chaussures ? Si seulement, ce manque d'espace pouvait me décourager... Ça ne risque pas d'arriver de si tôt, j'aime trop les chaussures!
so funny, i did the same this weekend with my shoe 'closet'. i just stored away my summer/spring-y sandals! though i always toss away shoeboxes - they take up too much space!
RépondreSupprimerI have a thing with shoe boxes: It's really really hard for me to toss them away even if I know rationally that I'd have more space without them! It's almost as if the box was part of the "charm" of the shoes. Go figure...
SupprimerThat does depend on how lovely the box is and how much the shoe is worth too.
SupprimerExactly! But even the "regular" or straight ugly ones I tend to keep!
SupprimerSome boxes go hand in hand with the shoes and are too pretty to throw - I can't imagine you would want to get rid of the Lanvin or Dries Van Noten ones you have. Some which I'm not too bothered about, I do get round to throwing away as I really don't have enough room. I do keep a few really big boxes (Zara mail order boxes are ideal) though and I store a batch of shoes in those sometimes. Like lumping all my flip flops and casual sandals together so it takes up less room and lulls you in to thinking that you have less than you have).
RépondreSupprimerYeah, cheap summer sandals I don't really bother with keeping the boxes. I used to but not anymore, space is scarce. In a way, boxes help me track down and keep in mind what I have. As you point out stacking them up can make you "forget" altogether about some shoes...
SupprimerI packed my collection of shoes in boxes too. Sometimes two pairs into one box for saving space. Before this, I have taken the picks of shoes and labeled all the boxes with photos. Now it is easy to find the right pair in a few seconds:) I highly recomend to stick the photos of shoes on your boxes as well! Love this blog! Regards, Dorota
RépondreSupprimerThat's a great storage tip Dorota! It would be so useful and practical to have a view of what's in the boxes!
SupprimerAnd thanks a lot for the kind words!
J'ai la même galère dans mon appart' ! J'entasse j'entasse sans arrêter d'acheter :p
