There's a stereotype about women and shoes. Being the obedient woman that I am (insert sarcasm among other things here), I do have quite a number a shoes. While I don't have flats, pumps, or wedges... I do have plenty of running, casual, and awesome shoes.
Some folks keep their shoes in the closet. Others on shoe racks, doormats, shelves, or bins. I keep several pairs by the door, but the rest I keep in my kitchen drawers. In talking with a friend of mine, I learned not only that it's weird to keep shoes in your kitchen drawers, but also was challenged on if I wear all of these shoes or not. "Yes I do" I immediately thought. But in truth, I probably don't.
And so started "The Shoe Project." Each day, for the month of October (conveniently one of the longer months), I will wear a different pair of shoes. I realize this makes me seem like a materialistic, rich, jerkface, but rest assured... I'm not. I just happen to have a lot of shoes, many I got on a big discount. And..."a lot" of shoes is relative, right? I mean, "a lot" to some folks might mean in the hundreds. "A lot" to others may mean 10. I think I'm somewhere around 30. Maybe more, I'm not sure.

Everyday, I plan to take a picture of my shoes and post it on facebook for my friend to see. I was thinking this afternoon, while fishing with another friend of mine, that maybe I should post them on my blog too. Here is day 1-3. I'll update the blog as often as I can.
October 1, 2011. Stinky running shoes that matched the pink bra I wore while volunteering at a bike race. |
October 2, 2011. Back of right shoe is tainted with bike grease. |
October 3, 2011. Fishing Lake Nokomis in sandals. Caught nothing. |

wait a minute ... how many kitchen drawers to you have?
With shoes in them? Seven? And then there's some on top of the top shelf. I should probably just take pictures....
