Closet Cleaning-Day 5-Shoes

Now it's time to really get down to business and tackle the shoesI personally don't own as many shoes as the normal woman...but I still have a lot of shoes, flip-flops, boots and running shoes and they can create Closet Chaos!

Pull out all the shoes, boxes and all
Line them up and sort by color and style (all black flats together, all black heels together, etc)
This will help you see what you have and what you can get rid of

Start by keeping one of each style/season (this equals 6 pairs of shoes!)
For example you will keep one pair of black sandals, one pair of black flip-flops, one pair of black flats, one pair of black winter (suede), one pair of black pumps and one pair of black dressy.
Now repeat with other colors

Next you need to polish and clean any remaining pairs of shoes.  Vaseline works well as a cleaner on patent leather,  Replace frayed and dingy laces on your running shoes.  Any shoes that need to be re-heeled should be set aside and taken to the shoe repair place. 

I store my shoes in a cardboard shoe box that displays 9-12 pairs of shoes.  I keep dressy shoes that only see irregular use (the pink satin 3 inch heels for example) In their original boxes.
