Shoes essentials

The other day one of my friend asked me why girls need so many different pairs of shoes. Being a long time shoes lover I thought I would have the right answer for him, but I couldn't find the words to describe it. I kept on telling him ' because it completes your look' or ' there are so many to choose from and you just fall for every one of them! They become your babies of sort?'. He thenwent on to explain how most guys have average of 3 types of shoes - sneakers, flip flops or sandals, and formals or work shoes. Although I knew this to be true, I was so shocked considering the amount of shoes that I have. After I got back to my dorm room, I begin counting. In the end I came up with- 5 sneakers, 1 hightop converse, 2 knee high boots, 3 ankle boots, 1 rain boot, 2 flats, 3 high heels/formals, 4 sandals, 1 slippers, and 2 flip flops. This is NOT counting the countless heels, flats that I have at home... Do I wear all these shoes often? No. In fact some of these shoes I haven't worn in months. That is why I've decided to make a list of essentials! This isn't really going to guarantee my shoes loving habits dying down but it's a start! Also, this is just strictly my opinion.

Every girl's shoes essentials!

-A comfortable pair of work out shoes.

-A cute pair of sneakers for everyday walking.

-A colorful pair of converse high-tops that will go with just about anything!

-A pair of not-so-slippery flip flops for avoiding germy floors in the shower (for dorm girls!)

-A pair of cute flip flops for hot summer days on the beach or just on the go.
-A pair of cute but comfortable sandals for everyday walking in a hot summer day

-A pair of cute and dressy sandals for special occasions in the summer
-A pair of flats that will go with just about any outfit, especially skinny jeans or a cute skirt

-A pair of knee high boots with heels for a special occasion in the winter or when you just wanna be flirty ;)
-A warm and comfortable pair of knee high uggs or similar furry boots for those unbearably cold winter days
-A pair of cute ankle boots for less cold and more completing your skinny jeans or skirt look

-A pair of cute but functional rain boots for those fun rainy days.
-A sexy pair of make-you-feel-super-confident-and-sexy stilettos
-A pair of black heels for some formal occasions that requires less 'pop' and more formal
-A pair of open/peep toed or sandal heels for special occasions or a night out.
-A pair of super comfy slippers

This totals to 16 pairs of shoes that I think every girl should have!
