in the process of downsizing and leaning towards getting rid of all my shoes except flip flops and sneakers but realistically I should have at least one pair of cute shoes for: a wedding (currently no invitations except one in mexico on the beach), interior design meetings. that's about it. so what shoes do I NEED for my potential meetings with clients? and will I continue doing traditional interior design or will I focus solely on tiny house design? in the event I do traditional interior design I should keep a couple appropriate outfits. I'll keep my knee-high cute boots b/c I can't return them and also my architect loafers. should I get rid of all my other sandals and shoes? I want to return my dansko sandals and lands end cute linen w/ red trim sandals but am afraid I might want/need them.
Instead of the linen/red sandals (which I can return for $50) I could wear my dr. scholls sandals (which are not returnable). i'm feeling resistant to getting rid of the linen/red sandals but can't think of a great reason I need to keep them and I hardly wear them as it is. will have less reason to wear them moving forward. so I need to return those.
And instead of the dansko sandals what could I wear...flip flops, dr. scholls sandals or arch loafers I guess.
so I'm looking at keeping:
flip flops (2 pairs--1 beach (white hemp), 1 non-beach (grey leather)
brown knee-high boots (for when i want to look cute going out, or a professional-ish meeting)
dr. scholls sandals...I currently have 3 pairs: white, black, pink. I like them all but rarely wear them, prefering flip flops. for prof-mtgs I could wear: hipster sundress with white dr. scholls. lands end pretty dress with white dr scholls. Do I need to wear the black or pink for anything? I'm really not interested in going out at all right now but maybe that will change in the future.
do I need to keep my cute ugg boots? they, too, could be worn for professionalish meetings but not much else. they're not practical for wearing in the snow or mud. they're really just for show and I don't see much show in my future. also I honestly don't like that they are sheepskin and I try to just not think about it. so I think I need to return those too. I don't think I will need them anymore.
sneakers: Brooks for every day, walking, etc., one other pair for getting dirty (walking on beach, working, walking on muddy ground, gardening)...that should be enough.
hiking boots: love these and will probably wear them every time I leave the house from october to april.
dress shoes (1 pair...do I go with the black high heels which hurt and the strap which gets caught on long dresses or silver slightly less-high heels which are a little more comfy but silver not black)
navy espadrilles: good for casual but cute--summery
red silk wedges: good for less casual but still cute--summery
this list is getting long. 9 must-keeps so far, not including any high heels.
