I must admit that I love shoes!  I know that’s not an earth shattering admission, but it goes against the minimalist ideals that I am trying to maintain in my closet.  A few months ago, while reading some blogs about minimizing, I decided that I would tear apart my wardrobe and only keep essentials that I can wear with multiple items.  It’s not a bad idea and definitely opened up storage space.  The problem is not purchasing new items.  I’ve done really well until I met these babies today.

I can’t be too angry with myself because they can be used with almost everything in my wardrobe. Except for my black clothes. I don’t care what people tell me, I am old school and will not wear black with brown shoes.

The most difficult part of having a minimalist closet is that it feels so good to buy new things!  After purchasing my new pretties I was in such a good mood.  The daily chores I tire of were suddenly not so boring and tedious.  At the end of the day I am still happy with my purchase and stayed close to my rules for the wardrobe.  I may lose the new shoe high when it’s time to make my car payment, but that’s not today. Haha!
