Simple Shoe Organization

I like shoes...what woman doesn't like shoes?  I have lots of shoes...what woman doesn't? But why?  That's what I can't explain!  My psychology background does not offer much of an explanation and my sociology background just makes me think we buy shoes because that's just what women do, but there really is no true explanation!  So I will just let this be one of life's unexplained mysteries...and continue to buy shoes!!

Now buying all these shoes leads to a storage issue...especially living on the east coast where there are different shoes for every season.  I had a pretty serious storage issue...

All of these shoes were just piled in the bottom of a closet...terrible!  

I did have a small shoe organizer, but those only hold one pair for each slot and if the shoes had heels I'd have to wiggle them to get them both in...then I got to thinking...why can't I just use a bigger organizer, why are the large ones only for sweaters? 

I was able to fit multiple pairs of shoes into each opening...perfect!  It doesn't take up much space either.  If I'd have fit all those shoes into the small shoe organizer I would have needed at least three of them versus just one big organizer.  I also saved a few dollars by using the large one, for under $10 I am able to store over 25 pairs of shoes! 

Do you buy tons of shoes? How do you store them?

High Five Friday

I'm hooking up with Lauren at From My Grey Desk today for High Five for Friday!

It's been a busy week around here so this is a good opportunity to focus on the good things that have happened!

1

We finished our boat parking pad.  It was a lot of hard work, which unfortunately I wasn't able to really help with but I did photograph along the way and shared our process here.

I got a new computer!!  It's super fast and can keep up with my
intense multitasking!  Imagine all the blogging I can do now!

I had a hair day that included coloring my hair and "cutting" it.
I didn't really cut it, but I got a slightly different hairstyle.
I have been growing my hair out for about 4 years now and it's
finally at a point where I can do some different things with it.
Hair days are the best aren't they?

The rain has ended!! We spent most of the week soaking wet!
The rain was needed, but I'm very glad to see the sunshine, finally!

This past week was so busy with little things that had to be done
that I am extra happy it's finally Friday!  This Friday gets its own big High Five!

I hope you had a great week too - don't forget to take the time to think of the highs, or good things, that happen everyday!
