A pair of shoes can tell you a lot about a person. And how much more information do I get when I see a whole pile of shoes that belongs to that same person.
While trying to decide what to wear for a fancy night out in Paris Dodo pulls out a bunch of her favorite shoes and gathers them on the floor. A trace of envy scurries across my heart. Great selection. If Dodo’s feet weren’t half the size of mine I would be VERY tempted to inconspiciously slip a pair into my big travel bag (top of 1st picture). OK, back to reality. They belong to Dodo and if I didn’t know her already they could tell me a lot about her:
1. She is slightly eccentric (unusual heels and straps, metallic leather, red)
2. She is ready to suffer for good style (some of them are surely not supercomfortable to walk in)
3. She appreciates sophisticated design work (unusual shapes)
4. She is well versed in fashion history (good vintage designer shoes!)
5. She knows good quality (no cheap shoes in this picture)
6. She has got great style (no comment needed)
7. She loves shoes (obvious)
8. She has got small feet (unfortunately…)
