Pour Aujord'hui (okay, yes, technically yesterday)

I started cleaning out my Shoe Closet already.

Unfortunately, I seem to have some sort of attachment to every single pair, especially the one I'm wearing here.

I used these shoes for the first (and up until today, the last) time way back in 2004, for my sophomore Homecoming Dance.

I rescued them from the donation basket by wearing them today and swearing to not ignore them again ... we'll see how that goes.

Traducción:

Ya empezé a limpiar mi clóset de zapatos.

Desafortunadamente, parece ser que tengo algún estilo de cariño con cada par, especialmente el que estoy usando en estas fotos.

La primera --y última vez-- que usé estos zapatos fue en el 2004, para mi baile de Homecoming cuando estaba en mi primer año de prepa.

Así que decidí que para "salvarlos" de la caja de donaciones, los usaría hoy y que no los volveré a ignorar ... ya veremos que pasa.

No Pain, No Gain ... ?

I've always been an ardent follower of the quotes
"No Pain, No Gain" and "Beauty Hurts".

Lately though, I've noticed that my feet are yelling "Please call Social Services, this girl abuses us!!!"
Due to this, I am going to clean out my closet ... my shoe closet, that is.
This is something that I have never done. Literally. The only shoes I've ever thrown out are the ones that I've outgrown or shred to pieces because of overwear.
I am a pack rat, I'll openly admit to that.

I will donate all the shoes that are half a size (or more) too big on me (unless they have straps around the ankle) and the shoes that I've never worn/only worn once.
If I have the original box --which is very likely-- I'll give them the box, too.

Have you ever had to do anything of the sort?
I feel like I'm going to suffer while picking out the shoes and even more when placing them in another person's hands.
But hey, at least it'll be like a Fashion Reachout Program, in which you make fashion available to everyone...
(Yes, I'm just trying to make myself feel better).

I'll post up pictures after I've decided which pairs to donate.
