Can you have too many Jimmy Choos? Never
How many is too many pairs of shoes?
I know my husband sometimes thinks I have too many shoes (though, when I pointed out he has more ball caps than I have stilettos, he backed off). And, now that I have them boxed and labeled, he may not notice if I add a few more pair.
Tamara Mellon, president of Jimmy Choo, told Vogue:
"I probably have 700 to 800 pairs, which are all catalogued," said Mellon, recounting: "I've always loved shoes and bags - I became particularly obsessed by them in the early Nineties"
Seven hundred pair! I'd love to see her closet, it's probably the size of my whole house. I'm not even close to 100 pair of shoes. So, the next time someone comments on how many pairs of shoes I have, I'll just say: "I can never compete with Ms. Jimmy Choo."
And, now, I have something to stride toward.
Comments:
OMG! 700 pair!!!!!! I wanna see that! I wonder if she's in my size...
I only have 150 pairs of shoes... but there's always that one pair that I'm looking for that's going to cap off the entire outfit! :)

Sounds like my dream closet! I have not idea how many shoes I have, but it's best not to count.

I wonder what her employee discount is like. By the way, apparently shoes are something many people don't give up in a recession.
