@allypayerYou're probably aware by now that platforms are 2022's biggest and brightest shoe trend. I actually got this pair right before the pandemic and am glad I remained patient during the many months when I had nowhere to wear them. On the other hand, basic pumps get minimal wear from me anymore, so away they go.

@allypayerNew Balance is the It sneaker brand year after year, so I have no plans to toss any of mine anytime soon. A style that I did part with is trendy sneakers that quickly became dated. (Note to self: don't buy those anymore.)

@allypayerI'm not a huge fan of boring flats, so I ended up getting rid of a few pairs of those. A flats style I'm holding on to, though, is clogs. I think those will remain in style for quite some time.

@allypayerI found a pair of espadrille wedges hiding in my closet, and out they went. They just don't suit my aesthetic these days. But a style I don't get rid of until they wear out is heeled slide sandals.

@allypayerPenny loafers will always be my number one flats style. I love the slightly chunky, more classic look of them. The single-sole loafers in my closet, on the other hand, hit the donation pile.

@allypayerAlthough animal-print shoes will inevitably always come back around, I'm just not that into them right now. A print that I never get tired of, though, is logos.

@allypayerThere was a time when I was into sneakers with glitter, studs, metallic accents—you name it. Those days are long gone, so I'm parting with the remaining pair in my closet. But the simple white sneakers are staying put.
