  1. What are your go-to shoes in your closet? Let me know!

    Hey, would you do a sunglasses collection? 😎

  3. I stopped wearing heels decades ago. I’m team ballet flat in walking-shoe style nearly every day (one in black, another in nude). You can wear them with pants or dresses. My 3rd shoe is a sneaker. My 4th shoe is a nude sandal. The 5th shoe is a chelsea boot (I only wear pants in a cooler weather, so this works for me). My “extra” shoes are ballet flats in red or animal print as the “statement” shoes. Actually, there is an additional pair of wellie boots for mucking in the garden, but I think of those as “garden supplies” than my “wardrobe”. Packing for travel is a breeze!

  4. Luv your suggestions & reasoning..but personally I CANNOT do loafers… idk why.. maybe coz I’m petite & older..living in Florida I do Fitflop or Donald Pliner platform sandals…

    I guess it’s also important to consider the weather. I honestly hate to wear sneackers just because I feel my feet sweats a lot on them and ends up smelling really bad. In my personal case, I loooove birkenstock type of shoes.
