The evidence

 

Two pairs of shoes which mysteriously don't fit, except in the shoe store.

What the hell is it with shoes?

Or with my feet?

I go to a shoe store and buy a perfectly nice pair of shoes. I try them on. Walk around in them. They fit fine. Take them home.

A couple of days later, I decide to wear them. The shoes magically no longer fit. I cannot insert my feet in them without howls of pain.

What gives?

When I read this I don't feel as guilty...

Another clothing collector exhibits her closet.



I personally am into shoes in a big way, particularly sale shoes. I try to wear each pair at least once and then if they are totally unsuitable I give them to the Good Will. I still have many too many.

My other weakness is black sweaters. I have: wool, cashmere, cotton, long-sleeved, short sleeve, pullover, cardigan. They feature buttons, zippers, ruffles, lace. When I open my drawer I can't find anything. All I see is a sea of black.
