rip shoe collection

i am a huge shoe freak. so much so that i have two closets full of them. when i was pregnant my feet swelled up so much that the only things i could wear were flip flops, and i stretched the heck out of them. 

remember this?

well my feet are no longer swollen but they are BIGGER! devastatingly so. i first discovered this as i was getting ready for a wedding and i couldn't get my feet into any of my heals. i thought maybe it would change but almost three months later and still i can't fit into my shoes. 

i have to wear a 9.5, sometimes a 10. they don't have as many options for the larger sizes as the more average. 

so many beautiful shoes and now i have to start all over. so sad. 

my sister just started a job and moved up to new york so before she left she came and went shopping through my shoes. it was sad but at least they are going to a good home. two large bags full. gone. 

see them by the door there? 

bye bye shoes :(
