Remember when I was desperately looking to buy black sandal-booties and then wound up getting the gray “ugly-but-cool” shoes instead?
Well, I soon realized that I still needed black shoes. I love the gray booties, and while my favorite shade is holding down about 60% of my current wardrobe, there’s nothing like a black shoe to really ground a look and toughen things up a bit. Soooo…I wound up “accidentally” buying these at Shopbop on sale:
Sandals, Ash
This makes what, 14 pairs of black shoes in my footwear catalog? Oy.
I can’t be the only one with this problem! How many pairs of black shoes do you have?

I just moved my shoes to a rack and was astonished to see that I had so many black pairs. I think I’m around 14, too.
I’m around the same as you on the black shoe count.
Great blog btw!
And err, I just totally posted logged in to the wrong account. My actual blog is daisychaindreams.blogspot.com. Woops.
Ha! I have the same problem when it comes to black shoes. Everything just looks so much better in black. I think I have 8 pairs of black heels and 4 black flats. I’ve actually developed a problem with brown earthy tones now that it’s warmer…
Great shoes! I have like 8 pairs? LOL it’s not enough though…
It’s never enough! I think that may be part of the problem…
Thanks, Laura!
I do the same thing with so-called “nude” colored shoes, too. If it comes in that caramel-y beige color, I want it!
