And may I ask where you found those Sofft sandals that are OTW? I really need some like that... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hold-my-hand-as-i-purge-my-sandals#post-726610 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 17:05:16 +0000 Sylvie 726610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro: It sounds so easy when you cut to the heart of the matter like that but it's oh so hard to carry through.</p> <p>Rute: You're right, #3 really is ready to go. #8 are gear sandals for dancing on stage. Can't get rid of those!</p> <p>fashionista: Thanks for the therapy!</p> <p>Beth Ann: Such an apt quote! I need to remember it. My stuff does not own me, I own my stuff, I do not owe it room and board.</p> <p>TS: I know you're one of our purging experts. I'm going to *try* and hold strong on these.</p> <p>Claire: The yellow platform sandals have almost no value. Honestly, I'd be happy to give them up to anyone on YLF for the price of shipping. I should post them in Style Exchange.</p> <p>*deep breaths* Ok, I'm going to get rid of at least #3, #4 and the Rampage wedding sandals. I don't know if I can really make myself get rid of the other pair because they're the ones I wore on the wedding day itself, in the rain and they have memories associated with them. Maybe I could stick foot pads in them and try to clean them up? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hold-my-hand-as-i-purge-my-sandals#post-726442 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 14:36:47 +0000 Anonymous 726442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, you must let these go. I love the ones you're keeping. Can you consign the yellow platform sandals? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hold-my-hand-as-i-purge-my-sandals#post-726394 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 13:49:38 +0000 Transcona Shannon 726394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you! No room in our closets or our minds for things we no longer love or wear. The ones you are keeping are fantastic BTW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hold-my-hand-as-i-purge-my-sandals#post-726373 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 13:31:33 +0000 Beth Ann 726373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've got a good plan here. My great Aunt Lucille said, as they carted out her wringer style washer in 1993 (yup), "It don't owe me a thing!" She said that every time she purged something well used, and most of her possessions were well used. I'll use this quote when they cart out my ancient sofas next week!</p> <p>Love the keepers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hold-my-hand-as-i-purge-my-sandals#post-726284 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 10:35:04 +0000 fashionista 726284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah you are purging the right ones and keeping the best ones. Have I hold your hands? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hold-my-hand-as-i-purge-my-sandals#post-726282 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 10:29:49 +0000 rute 726282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3 and 8 are too old! Purge with no regrets! I LOVE 6 and 9! 5 is a fab black sandals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hold-my-hand-as-i-purge-my-sandals#post-726235 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 06:17:02 +0000 Caro in Oz 726235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd purge all those in poor condition &amp; anything else that isn't comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hold-my-hand-as-i-purge-my-sandals#post-726210 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 05:08:16 +0000 Sylvie 726210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Runnerchick, I'm an 8.5. Both #3/#4 would both fit someone with a size 9 foot. Otherwise I would gladly send #4 your way (I don't think #3 is in good enough condition to give to someone). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hold-my-hand-as-i-purge-my-sandals#post-726192 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 04:50:38 +0000 RunnerChick 726192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know what your shoe size is, but if you happen to be a 7.5/8 and want to swap or sell #3 and #4, I'd be up for taking a look :). </p> <p>I don't know if this is holding your hand...how am I doing?</p> <p>ETA: I'm still holding on to my wedding shoes, although they have not gotten much wear recently. I do wear them to other weddings, for good luck </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hold-my-hand-as-i-purge-my-sandals#post-726175 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 04:28:46 +0000 Sylvie 726175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I own 9 pairs of sandals. I know which ones need to go, but I need help letting go of them.</p> <p>Here are the ones I should purge:</p> <p>1&amp;2) Low heeled gold sandals. These are the sandals I wore to my wedding, somewhat the worse for wear. The uppers are pretty enough and they are low heeled but uncomfortable. I keep thinking I'll wear them to other people's weddings but I wore #7 to the last Indian wedding I went to anyway. <em>Are you allowed to throw out your wedding shoes? My mom would yell at me if she knew I had tossed them.</em></p> <p>3) Eject sandals. I wore these for a summer or two but the strap just doesn't fit well against my ankle and the front part of the sandal stands away from the foot as well. I thought these would be investment sandals and they were quite comfortable but they just don't look right on me anymore. </p> <p>4) Naya McClouds. I've only worn these six times. I found out I'm not comfortable in platform wedges because I don't have good contact with the ground. Either I need my toes on the ground or I need two points of contact, ie heel and toe. Again I feel like I'm throwing away money *sigh*</p> <p>The ones I won't purge:</p> <p>5) Sofft black cage heels</p> <p>6) Aerosoles animal print heels</p> <p>7) Sofft gold heels (4 inches with 1 inch platform)</p> <p>8) Dance shoes (gear)</p> <p>9) Replacement metallic sandals (on their way to me) </p>
