Shoe inventory (and wishlist)

Given that I am going a bit shoe crazy off late, I decided to list the colours and styles I already own so that I can make better decisions about what to add in.

Neutral shoes:
1. Nude Clarks oxfords
2. Two toned brown and taupe oxfords
3. Metallic loafers (will need replacing in a few months)
4. Black heeled oxfords (not comfy at all)
5. Black ballet flats (need to be thrown away NOW)
6. Dark brown fleece lined winter boots

Coloured shoes:
1. Red ballet flats
2. Yellow perforated oxfords
3. Rose oxfords

Here are my observations:

I am pretty sure I do not want to add in any heels, unless they are miraculously comfortable.
I definitely need to look out for a metallic shoe, since my thrifted loafers won't last forever.
Do I need more coloured shoes? Maybe not. But I would love to add more.
Do I need to replace my black flats right away? I use them most during tights wearing season, so maybe not? I'm not sure.
I need a pair of leather boots for autumn.
I want to add in a pair of printed or patterned shoes - snakeskin or leopard?

What are your thoughts on my shoe collection? Any advice?

ETA: After some reflection, I think the next two pairs I want to add in, if I can find them in a few weeks are the brown/black snakeskin flats (pic 1) and black oxfordinas (pic 2). If I can find the blue oxfordinas (pic 3), I may skip the black and get those instead.

short wedge in a color? a ballet-oxford hybrid in the blue/violet family? animal print--this could replace your black ballets ep if you get a black-ish toned snake.

Bj1111, I really really want those blue oxford flats! If they don't come back in stock, I will look for them on my Paris trip next month what about these for the black-ish snake? Would they work?

A wedged pumps and a pair of sneakers( converse) if your lifestyle allows maybe would be a good addition apart from all those above that you mentioned and your observations.
And ballet flats need to be replaced as I think, they are very versatile piece and can be worn with anything not only tights........

Fashionista: Oh yes! I am still looking for THE pair of sneakers for me! And I think I agree with you about the flats too!

Emily

I bet you could safely skip the black flats, you are working those coloured shoes. I bet the black/brown snakeskin would work where you wore black flats before...

I agree with Emily! Use the snakeskin as your "black flat"! Exciting!

Thanks for your suggestions Emily and nicoleb If I use the snakeskin as my black flats, should I go for a coloured oxfordina? The blue or green?

I vote coloured, and defer to you as to which.

Whichever is in stock in my size!

kirti, i'm hopin' and wishin' that the blue oxfordina flat will be found in your size. this is hands down my fave.

Or the black oxfordina could replace your black flats.
