Thank you all very much for the comments! I am still mulling over the sandal situation, but probably take Janet's approach - wait until the end of the season to decide.
Helena, your approach sounds quite logical.
Chewyspaghetti, I agree that this is a good formula for me.
Kkards, I also find editing out footwear hard to do, especially when I still like the pair in question.
Slim cat, thank you - I have always liked the pattern on that skirt, too.
Rachy, thanks! The shoes are not worn out, just feel to flat, which indeed creates a dilemma. That is interesting observation that the grey ones are similar o the black KD ones, you are right and I haven't even noticed!
Suz, thank you, it is great to be back! I has several posts on tube skirts in the past month, and in the first one received excellent advice from Fabbers on how to update the styling.
Janet, thanks! As I have already mentioned, I will probably take your approach and decide at the end of the summer. If I never reach for KD sandals again this summer, out they go!
Kellygirl, thank you! I have decided to treat the colors of that pattern as greys ( even if some are more olive/taupe etc.) and I think it works.
Jenna, thank you for the kind words.
Jonesy, appreciate the comment. Old skirts and new sandals seem to be working well together.
