I honestly am not wearing most of my shoes from a couple of years ago because they are better suited for dresses than pants -- and I haven't bought enough shoes to go with the pants.

I do it little by little and give it a lot of thought and then give myself reasons why to toss, this so later on I won´t regret it.<br />77 pairs of shoes sounds like enough, I have a little over a 100 and i strive to go below 100.
