I agree with that.

Chanie and Missile, I only have about 20 handbags and I believe about 25 pairs of shoes, 1 pair of trainers and 3 pairs of boots, so I have never got too crazy when it comes to either. I am trying to make sure that I wear as many of the shoes and use as many of the handbags as possible now when I am going out.
