Re: Footwear News article about Jill Martin

I don't know the woman personally, so I wouldn't know how many pairs of shoes she owns.  250 is a lot to me but she's well connected, she's in the business and she gets a lot of freebies.  And she makes an impressive salary.  So, I don't find it surprising.  My two girls have been fashionistas since their college days I'd bet my last dollar they they each have over 100 pairs of shoes.  So....I'm talking out loud to hubby as I answer this and he piped in  "please, woman.  you have at least 70 pairs of shoes and boots yourselt"....lol   The shoes don't surprise me but I did not know that Jill is a sportscaster.  That did surprise me.

Re: Footwear News article about Jill Martin

I should mention that I own about 125 pairs of shoes too. That I used to own more before I purged shoes that I couldn't wear anymore because they became too tight or the pitch became too steep. I think at one time I topped 150 pairs of shoes.

 

I turned a bookcase into a shoe organizer as I keep my shoes in their boxes. I also photograph my shoes and keep them in an Adobe Photoshop starter album on my computer so I can "see" them easily, I make sure that I put the name and brand of the shoe in the photo album description.

@freakygirl

You're welcome for the article. I quite like the Footwear News website as they are all about shoes! I will take a look at the Brad G. article as I notice he's always wearing spiffy men's shoes when he's on QVC with the C. Wonder stuff.
