I thought of this blog watching a Podcast and was thinking about going through my shoes collection and will be having a good clear out. I like clothes that last for a long time and not for 5 minutes and with second hand clothes you can do that, aswell as brand new clothes and things like clothes, trousers, skirts and footwear you can do that. I love knitwear and have a favourite jumper I bought from a charity shop and it was a really good investment.
There are shoes that I haven’t worn and keep thinking, will I ever?
It can be a tough decision to make, when you spent money on them.
However I want to own less stuff and that means having a clear out of items I have not worn or use, including shoes and bags.
I am going to take photos of the items first and see if my nieces if they are the right size, want them? It is now time to change my shoes over, as I do buy shoes for specific seasons, but I tend to wear trainers and pumps, and these can be worn all year around and boots, but I also have footwear specific for winter, which have faux fur and comfortable.
I do have plans to buy a set of ballet shoes as they are always worth the money and can be worn all year round, and any shoes specific for summer I will put away, and again if there are ones I didn’t wear, I will give away.
I am a weird size because some shoes I am a 4.5 and others I am a size 5, and I tend to buy online in that case, as I find it hard to find half sizes and it depends on the type of shoe.
This time of year is a great time to have a good old sort out and getting rid of the old and bring in the new, and have little but still have lots to wear, and not having days not finding anything to wear.
I used to be like that a lot, but now I have a good systematic wardrobe. Yes it still needs a bit of work still, but I am getting good satisfaction from it, because I have enough clothes to wear, with the shoes I wear. I will film for my Youtube channel of me sorting my bedroom out. It will be on my main channel: https://www.youtube.com/@typicallondongal
I feel good in giving away my shoes if they go to a good home, and are better enjoyed, and that they aren’t going to be tossed away.
I have a pair of flip flops that my was given to my auntie, as the person who originally wore them couldn’t wear them, and neither could my auntie and they are brand new and so I took them in and I love them.
It is so good to see items being used rather than going to waste and I will be testing out Vinted, but will see if my nieces would like them first.
You can also if you have the skill to upcycle clothes to still wear. I have a set of pj’s I love and got a hole in so going to sow it up as I love them and so comfortable that I don’t want to let them go.
I will be investing in more pyjamas sets, because in my opinion is a good investment.
