[quote="nancyrose"]Re: closet space, I try to keep mine fairly organized so all hell doesn't break out, and every once in a awhile it gets pretty ugly...just a huge pile of shoes thrown about haphazardly. So this weekend it was time to restore order, and my son came in while I was in the middle of this project. He did a double-take and decided he wanted to know how many shoes were there...so he counted them, only to announce at the dinner table (to my husband's HORROR) "Do you know Mom has 128 pair of shoes??"
I may need to ask Zappos to wrap any new packages in a nondescript brown wrapper...much the way porn is sent through the mail!![/quote]
i have a p.o. box for just that purpose. undetected purchases.
i NEVER have anything delivered to my house. the hubs gets home before me every day, so there is no chance of packages going unseen. then, i throw the new boxes out and put them in old ones and label them. i'm a pretty sneaky chick that way... they just don't understand. i don't even have stuff delivered to work anymore for fear that my boss will think he's paying me too much! ah, the life of a shoe whore!
nancy, i totally agree with you about the pliner's! they are the most comfortable heel. i bought a pair last year, wore them once, and the dog (puppy at the time) had a new chew toy. FUCK! he also liked my sheepskin shoes...
we gated the stairs after that episode.
