This is a fun thread! It takes some thinking on my part, hmmm...
1. what does YOUR collection look like? I have a hard time mentally separating my CL's from the rest of my shoes, but I mostly have platforms and a majority of them are 140's. I have mostly leather - patent, leather and suede - and some satin. I have 3 black pairs and the rest are all different colors - pinks, purples, gold, blue, bone, multi, brown, denim. I hate buying shoes that I have anything similar to already, so most of them are pretty different style-wise, but most of them are peep toe. In fact, all are except for four pairs. I have pointy toe, sling back, booties, t-straps, d'orsays and sandals. I only have one pair of espadrilles and no wedges.
2. are you an OLDIES, or CURRENT SPRING/SUMMER, FALL/WINTER OR BOTH person?
A mix? I like platforms so I have more newer shoes than older shoes because of that. These are just guesses, I don't know the seasons very well:
Pre-08 = 3
F/W 08 = 2
S/S 09 = 1
F/W 09 = 2
S/S 10 = 6
F/W 10 = 1
S/S 11 = None yet
3. how many shoes do you average a year/month/season? I seem to average a pair of CL's every 3 months or so. I tend to buy in waves.
4. after analyzing your collection, are you actually surprised by what you find, or is it pretty much as you expected? I am a little surprised to find that I really only have one or two CL's that I would consider classics. The rest are all quite trendy and no doubt I will have to hide them away in a few years. I was also surprised to find that I have so many peep toes. I never realized that I was partial to the style.
5. have you learned something about yourself doing this, and if so, what? I really just got to see how much my taste and preferences have changed over the years. It was fun to see.

i can only hope that one day my collection will be as varied and numerous as yours!
great purchases!
I'm a little strange I guess.
nothing wrong with it at all!
Though I have to say, I would adore having a pair of those rastas!
