I think I need an intervention...
I was cleaning out my closet and realized I have 26 pairs of black shoes :crazy:

2. Oh what I could do with that closet!
of course since I am in fall cleaning mode, I also realized that I have 32 tubes of lipstick and 17 pairs of jeans, I am a victim of excessive consumerism!

4. Yeah....
I love shoes, but seem to have a particular weakness for black, especially heels...

they're kind of a deep but not pukey pink.

10. I was trying to find comfortable shoes to wear for work...
and I bought a cute pair of deep pink madras wedge heels, they remain in the box, but I know I can find a place to wear them someday.

11. the color actually matches the design on a pair of jeans i have, the exact same shade
of pink, it was like they were made to go together. Jeans, another problem.

14. black skirts...
I have way too many of those too. I think pink shoes are awesome! Oh man, now I'm going to end up shoe shopping on the computer all night. See, Intervention needed.

btw, jeans and heels, love it!

17. I have thirty of the same T-shirt in three colors.
Five plain white ones with sleeves, five no-sleeves
Five plain gray ones with sleeves, five no-sleeves.
Five plain black ones with sleeves, five no sleeves.

When the no-sleeves ones get old, I chuck 'em, cut the sleeves off the other ones, and buy five new ones.

Now that I've written it out, it seems kinda weird...lol.

13. Wow.
I don't even have that many pairs of shoes total.

More running shoes than anything, but the pairs are still in the single digits.

15. I have about 20 pairs; and about 30 black shirts.
At least 10 of those shirts are black tank tops with the bra built in. I must have a fetish for them.

20. I went through a shoe addiction for about a year.

It was terrifying. And most of them are still in their boxes. There are only so many places you can wear green suede boots or red calfskin bowling shoes.

:scared:
