The shoe Whore Awards…

Wow! I’m so flattered. I never expected to receive an award concerning anything that has to do with fashion, shoes etc. I have to admit that I do not know much about it and I am probably one of the last people to come for advice. I’m just not easily impressed by expensive clothing. I understand and respect its value, but I wouldn’t go abroad trying to get something I had my eyes on.

Luckily I work in a geeky environment, without a proper dress code. We are in IT. We are a nerdy team hidden from common view. Clients are never allowed to see us, so we can wear whatever we want. Ok, I’m exaggerating a bit, but luckily (for me), we can wear whatever we want. So, in most of cases I come to work with my jeans and snickers. I try to wear shirts and proper shoes from time to time (show some respect), but that doesn’t happen often.

1. Say big thank you to the one whom tagging with these Awards! (remember to hyperlink them!)!

Thank you so much to Sufi and Steve for giving it to me… I have no words…



2. Please paste the following graphic onto your blog, so people know you are nominated for the shoe whore awards:


3. Proceed with how many shoes in your belonging, the description of the damages (prices), maybe tell us why you bought that shoes? and if possible the pictures (it can be taken from internet resources too)

I have only two formal pairs of shoes for my suits, one brown and one black. Not very expensive and I only wear them in special occasions. I know that they are leather but I bought them in Greece and I do not think that they are from a famous brand. Let’s say I spent around $400 on both…

I have a pair of brown boots from Ellesse, that I got ages ago and I wear in extreme weather conditions. They look like the normal Dr. Martens but in fine leather… Let’s say I spent $150 on them.

All the rest of the shoes I wear everyday are snickers that cost from $50 to $100. OK, I have lots of them, in various colours:


Having around 5 or 6 of them, let’s say that I’ve spent around $450 on them… Overall that would be $1000 over the years… The numbers could be far away from the truth…

Regarding the damages, if you’d asked me how many comic books I have and how much money I’ve spent there… That could take a while to calculate.

4. Later on, nominate another THREE blogger for these awards...

That’s a tough one… I don’t know which to nominate… My first thought would be Paige. She’s a woman and naturally I’d expect to have a thing for shoes… My next nominees would be MadeInScotland and SalaciousSoul.

5. and Please, Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know they have been nominated.

Will do…

  2. Award-winning, aren't we? lol

    I have (just now counted) eight pair of shoes lined up by my front door. Four pair are running shoes, all the same exact model, in different colors. Three pair are for work (brown eccos, black Cole Hanns, and white Clarks). The last pair are my sneakers for the weekend. ;-)

  3. oh, er. I don't know what to say. I'm not at all a dedicated follower (of fashion). I have one pair of shoes, and 1 set of trainer style shoes.

    Xfe however has more than 10 pairs, I'd hazard a guess. Shoes are really his thing, one of his always buying items.

    I'll see if he will do a guest post to carry forward your nomination, but if he did it would be his first in over 4 years of my blogging.

    Still, I thank you from the bottom of my...bottom!!

    ahoj
