Tuesday - Friday
Shoes and socks!
Tuesday: a quick visit to the sock drawer, and a quick toss of some sad-looking socks. As the weather begins to cool, so do my tootsies, and I know my sandal days are coming to a close. It's going to be serious shoe time any chilly day now. . . so it's a good time to take inventory.
Wednesday: I pull out all my spring and summer footwear. . . it's a riot of sandals, slip-ons, mules, slingbacks, and flip-flops! First to go, anything that's used up; it's easy to see what's looking ratty, but it's not quite as easy to toss these beat-up pairs: they're so well-loved. . . sigh, farewell!
Thursday: Goodby to spring and summer, part two: today I try on all the shoes that are left behind. Away go formerly-stylish fashion finds, away go pinchy-toe never-worns, away go a couple pair that just don't make me happy. Maybe they'll be perfect for someone else? I hope so! The ones that make the cut are adorable, sexy, playful, wonderful, and comfortable. . . I layer them in a plastic tote, toss in a lavender sachet, and bid them au revoir 'til the next warm winds whisper!
Friday: Hello, fall and winter! I haul out and examine the leathery contents of my cold-weather-shoe tote with a critical eye, and discover that some of the shoes are just so past season to me; they don't croon that siren song that marvelous shoes sing (a pitch heard only by women, I'm told), so. . . away they go! The amazing, unexpected result and big bonus! - the ones that I love all fit on my closet shoe rack, exactly!
