Remodelling the wardrobes and DH thinks so!

Are you the 40 jeans poster? 40 of any clothing seems excessive, there must be some you very rarely wear.

There are many I rarely wear.

How rich and beautiful you must be

They’re not expensive shoes! Just bought for various occasions in the many decades it’s been since my feet stopped growing 😂

I have:

Wellies
Hiking boots
Gardening Crocs
Wetsuit shoes
Snowboots
Running shoes

Fashion trainers x 3
Chelsea boots x 2
Kneehigh boots x 2
Sandals x 5
Brogue type shoes x 2
Birkenstocks

Work flats x 3 (black and brown loafers, black ballerinas)
Work heels x 4 (beige, black, brown)

Occasion heels bought for weddings or events in various colours x about 10

Then I’m sure about 5-10 others. I have been accused of being a hoarder. Do people throw away shoes that fit and aren’t broken?

I suppose it depends on your lifestyle but I can't imagine ever having that many. I have about ten.
