Fess up-how many pairs of shoes do you pack?
Fess up-how many pairs of shoes do you pack?
I'll admit my other addiction: I bought two pairs just Sat for no reason at all except they were on clearance. It makes it ok if they are a bargain right?
Last year I took, my Gurkee flip flops for the beach, aqua shoes, brown heeled sandles, brown flat sandles, black flip flops and black heeled sandles. I think that was it

Shockingly, I take about 5 pairs of flip-flops of the following make-up:
- 3 J Crew casual cuties
- 2 pairs of my fancy leather bjorn flip-flops (I use this term LOOSELY) 1 black & 1 brown
Occasionally a pair of sandals will find its way in there.
What I do NOT take:
- Sneakers
- Water shoes
- Tevas
(Again, I do not hike nor do I even pretend to be a nature gurl. Though I did almost lose a toe at Maho 2 trips ago ... you'd think a girl would learn, but NO)

Hello, my name is Michele and I'm a shoe junkie. The first step is to admit your addiction.
On an average???? I would say about 10 pair. Flip-flops (both flat & wedges), sandles, and maybe a pair of sneakers. At least one pair of every color. I'm sick I know. The worse part is I probably only wear 2 or 3. I'm just afraid I'll want a certain pair and they won't be in my suitcase. I have little room for any cloths but let's face it, shoes make the outfit
Since, I'm admitting to my addictions ~ I have a sunglass fettish too. Not those giant star-looking ones, Oakley's. When my husband realized the price of those suckers, I bought him a pair. Now he's addicted too ~ lucky for me ~I can keep buying them

Vicki, I'm with you. I try not to, but I love flip-flops for every suit, a different sarong for every suit, and I LOVE purses. But I just go to STJ with a big tote and a small dinner purse.
But these J. Crew flips are more than I can resist.
I ordered 4 bathing suits online and was going to pick just one or maybe 2 and kept all 4. Mr. Cypressgirl is going to kill me when the MC bill comes in. I'll have to be very "nice".

Michele/Imelda, don't be so hard on yourself ! You are not a junkie,...you just just enjoy a little "shoe-gasm" now and then! I usually pack at least5 pairs of flops and 5 b-suits...a gurl has gotta be prepared !...Girls gone wild take note...clothes/shoes swappin' is a good thing on vacation!
I'd rather be in the boat with a drink on the rocks than in the drink with a boat on the rocks
