Five Pairs of Shoes

I used to be obsessed with shoes.

I've noticed it waning in recent months (years?). I'm not sure what has happened, and occasionally I get on a kick about something (new hiking boots, etc.) but in general I think my purchasing frequency has drastically decreased.

I have a new idea! Wouldn't it be great to only have 5 pairs of shoes? (This, of necessity, does not count specialty shoes, such as rain boots.) Five pairs that I can wear to work, for parties, weddings, etc. I think Frye could help me out with this. It would be a huge initial investment--probably stretched out over a few years--but I think in the long run it would be cheaper! Fryes last forever.

So here's what I think I would need.
**Already updating: 4 pairs per season (ha!)

WINTER:
Black ballet flats (for both seasons, already have)
Short boots (already have, black)
Tall boots (already have, black; next pair could be dark brown)
High heels (black, comfy!)

SUMMER:
Light color ballet flats
Black sandals
Brown sandals (already have)
High heel (wedge) sandals (natural color; already have Clarks; could use new wedges)

The problem is colors. What if I have black high heels, and need another color? Sigh. But I still like the idea. (I think the winter/summer thing may solve this.)

In addition, I need, well I already mostly have:

Flip flops (Teva, have)
Sneakers (Saucony, have)
Dog-walking sandals (Keema ate them; still have the Crocs)
Winter/hiking boots (Keen, have)
Cute winter boots (need)
Rain boots (Hunter, have)

God this seems like a lot. So high-maintenance. We're already up to 10 pairs. But I really need to stop buying high heels. I don't wear them, even at work.

Here's some samples of my planned collection.

Already have Born flats. (Apparently they don't make them anymore!) Would like next pair to be Frye.

Would love some this color too, for summer. Don't know if I can do the pointy toe though. Would get another Carson or the "Agnes."

Then short black boots like these (also similar to the ones I have now, could be Frye next, but I love the ruching):

Tall boots--I still like my Eccos, can stick with them. Maybe something like this next time?

High heels--tough. Maybe need winter and summer? How about 5 pairs per season? (This is getting ridiculous...)

LOVE these--almost $300!! Yikes. 

How about black for winter, or high heel sandals. To be continued!
