You have how many pairs of shoes?????

I was recently out to dinner with a few of my male friends and we started talking about the most ridiculous accessories we have ever worn that we believed were cool. I was forced to relive my "pooka shell necklace days"...which was nowhere near as embarrassing as my friend Trent's "highlight" (aka guy-lights) hair days. But, that's neither here nor there. Somehow this conversation segued into the accessories we love today. I ADORE my blue knit hat (even though it is huge and tends to fall down over my eyes on a regular basis), and then I began naming off pairs of shoes that I own and love.

Enter the realization that I own MANY pairs of shoes. I could not even count in my head every single pair that I own. So I went home and proceeded to count all of them. They are divided into categories in my closet...high heels on the shelves, boots on the floor, and sandals/flats/tennis shoes in a hanging apparatus inside my closet door. As I began counting I became very uncomfortable...when I realized that I have 22 pairs of HIGH HEELS ALONE, I broke out in a cold sweat (not really, but that would have been fitting)....brace yourself people, I HAVE 51 PAIRS OF SHOES. That's right. 5-1. Fifty-One. Cincuenta y uno. I don't know any other language in which to say this but....HOLY CRAP! I have a LOT of shoes.

Thus, I came up with the challenge to see if I can wear a different pair of shoes every day for 51 days. I have shoes that I wear every day, like my Gray and Pink "Nike Free Run" running shoes. But I tend to wear at least one other pair at some point throughout the day. I think that I have several pairs that have been neglected, so this challenge is for me to fully appreciate my wardrobe. It is, after all, Fabulously Ridiculous (I mean, who has 51 pairs of shoes anymore?)

Here are the rules:
1. I will wear a different pair of shoes every day---along with my Nikes, because I wear those every day already.
2. I will take a picture of myself, my outfit--shoes and all--and upload it here.
3. I will give a brief desription of my daily experience with those shoes on.

Basically, this is just going to be something to keep me interested during these last couple months of school and to help me not to just wear the same shoes all the time, because who has 51 pairs of shoes if I'm not going to wear them?

The challenge begins today! Read on!
