Women have a wide variety of different items in their closers, but the item they usually have the most of is shoes, as most women's closets can be considered "Shoe City". This isn't surprising when you consider the different types of shoes that are offered to women. This includes stilettos, flip-flops, sandals, wedges, boots, sneakers, you name it. Having a wide variety of shoes is great, but having a few staples in your closet that are affordable, long-lasting, and most importantly, will stay in fashion, is more important when it comes to the types and the amount of shoes a woman chooses to have.

I have things in my closet that I haven't worn in years, but I keep them in the hopes that one day I'll lose enough weight to get back into them. I'm sure I'm not the only one that does this.
