I wonder if that means they'll start selling in Europe again. They decided to shut up shop in the EU after the new GDPR regulations went into place in 2018, which I always found puzzling (and honestly kind of irritating), since basically everyone else seems to have managed to adapt to them somehow.

I did see a few weeks ago that the admin in the modcloth facebook group was contacted by the new owners wanting feedback from previous customers which I thought wasn't a terrible idea. Most said to rewind about 5 ish years, and bring back all the vintage inspired styles. My 2 cents was tell them to employ a small but educated team who are more in touch with their target market than the previous owners - clearly lol. I think you would be a great footwear advisor because that collection was magnificent!

Don't feel guilty about the cost. It is a wonderful collection of shoes that WAS VERY HARD TO FIND! It's hard looking and being able to find right accessories for an outfit. It takes a few years to coordinate an outfit on your tight budget. It's easy to go into a high-end store and buy it all at once when price is not a concern. Your vlog was so much fun to watch.

Don't feel shame about your collection, I'm a flatfoot that can only enjoy about 2 inch heels without pain. If I had normal feet, I'd indulge them as well! Plus, nothing ruins an outfit you've spent time and money on like raggedy, color-adjacent shoes.

I too have a pair of hot pink beaded shoes I bought when I was in Turkey 15 years ago. I no longer love the look of them but I can't part with them for sentimental reasons. I am like you. I buy shoes that I fall in love with when they are on sale and keep them for a decade or more. The only ones I cycle through a lot are my tennis shoes. But since I only wear some of my shoes a couple times a year they last years and years. I usually buy at the end of a season to get the best price on all my shoes and clothes. As long as you select classic looking stuff it will be useful the following year.

i appreciate the sentimental factor you have towards some of your pairs. i have 2 pairs of shoes that i saved up and purchased and i can't seem to let them go. lol

I'm only 5 minutes in but I'll admit I'm bouncing with glee already over all the shoe porn!!! Thank you!!

I've just noticed that most of the people I've subscribed and really enjoy watching, these people are tend to have collections of something, - though their collections are not the reason I've started to watch them in the first place, - and are rather "maximalists", as you call yourself with a little bit of shame. I think the people with lots of stuff like that are very cozy, sentimental, and carring, and have a passion for stuff, and often cry watching a movie - not many people can feel such strong emotions and compassion towards some fictional characters, you know) so I think you're beautiful and wholesome with all that shoes you carefully collected over the years and you shouldn't be ashamed of it at all) just be yourself :)

Hi, I always thought that a love for shoes were mandatory for a real proper lady. I see no reason to feel bad about having more than three pairs of shoes. Most of them were either a very good brand that will be nice for a lifetime or so, the others were in the collection for sentimental reasons. To me it seems to be a well curated collection, and there were, in my opinion, no evidence of misappropriation of funds, so enjoy without guilt. And most of all, enjoy without giving a flying...manure...to what anyone else thinks. I love the American Duchess of course, but who dosen't. The other brands I have to look into as there is nothing like those in the wold I live in. Yours, Ann Edit: By the way what was the proper way to wear open toes or sandaly types of shoes in their era? Would you wear them with stockings, or without? Does anyone know? The navy pumps look very much like my mother's shoes from her graduation as a nurse in 1963 except maybe a little difference in the shape of the heel. They wore a very special kind of uniform in black. Very formal, and as far as I know she stil has saved the uniform, including the real silk stockings she wore with it. Re: The scuff mark I've done that with a pair of patent leather shoes that I love. I took them to a real shoe cobbler and they were able to fix them up, so now you can't even see were the mark was. Just an idea. Again: Yours, Ann

Thank you! They would wear stockings with everything even opened toed shoes as far as I can tell from photos and my vintage catalogs. The catalog pages always seem to show stockings on, or at least they didn't draw in toes so I have to assume they must!

I have large feet, so cute shoes were so out of reach.... I've been painting shoes now for about ten years, a la the book Sassy Feet by Margot Silk Forest. It's a great book with cool techniques and you can retro-ify shoes that are close but no cigar.

Wow!! 👠👠Sigh....I remember having well over 175 pairs of shoes and boots. So much fun watching this!! Thank you for sharing your super darling shoe collection. 🥰 Loved all of them!!

I think you have the perfect amount of shoes for a girl without a house sized closet of her own. I am also very glad that no one remembers Imelda Marcos {eyes the comments unhappily}. My aunt once told me that if she liked a shoe, she got it in every color -- and I agree. Personally, there are four pair of shoes I'm still looking for -- an Easter blue and an Easter pink patent pump, a pair of saddle shoes, and a pair of purple suede heels. I cast no shade at your number. If shoes were songs in a hymn book, I would be into the Christmas Carols the number I have. LOVE this video, and you, and your shoes! Stay well!!
