Why Shoes Are The Most 'Successful' Category In My Wardrobe
Trying on my hardest-working pieces...
Yes, we’re still ploughing through with the annual wardrobe try-on marathon. Need to catch up? You can find my previous three posts on the topic here:

My bag collection, that adds variety to my pretty basic wardrobe. Colour! Shape! Texture! It’s here.
The most mega try-on of them all? My tops. Think knitwear, T-shirts, waistcoats, vests, the lot.

Today’s post is a two-in-one. We’re tackling shoes and dresses together, because I don’t have a wild amount of either of them. Tomorrow, for the grand finale, it’s trousers and denim, and well, that’s a different story. As always, I filmed the whole thing for you. It’s the perfect video to throw on in the background while you conduct an audit of your own. Or if a scroll is more your thing, I photographed the evidence of my declutter and offer my CliffsNotes for each piece.
