Day 877 - I Got Skills, I Can Dance All Night In Five Inch Heels

Shoes: Blue cortesan robot Irregular Choice 

I'm still chasing my tail, this outfit is from last Thursday.  I had a dentist appointment and it was a nice day, so I took the opportunity to finally wear my cat print maxi dress.  The shoes were a bit of a last minute decision and I probably wouldn't have put bright turquoise with the green cat eyes, had I thought about it carefully.  However, I was rushing (as usual) and wanted comfortable shoes and after the robot ankle strap popped open, I pulled them out and wore them without.  The dress is super comfy and I like that it's plain enough to style different ways.  Before I left the dentist, she said another of the dentists had been asking (via their computer I think) where I got my wonderful shoes from because she wants a pair.  I had to tell her there was little chance of finding them these days other than eBay.  I don't think I've ever been to the dentist without someone commenting on my shoes!

Wearing:  Cat face maxi dress ASOS, leopard cardigan Be Beau at Matalan, pony ring and pearl ring gifts, bee ring Primark, turquoise ring my Granny's, earrings Mawi, polka dot and pearl bag Gossipi.
Fit: 4 1/2" heel. I ordered a size up at the time and they're not hugely roomy on me.
Comfort: No issues with these.

Day 876 - I'm Seeing Flashbacks Dancing In My Mind

Shoes: Black patent heart peep toe Moschino Cheap & Chic 

If there's one thing I hate, it's being rushed when getting dressed. When I was a student I lived with three other girls and usually the best part of a night-out was beforehand in our house, deciding what to wear and putting on makeup and doing our hair while listening to cheesy music and anticipating the evening ahead. I wouldn't say I was the worst offender for taking the longest to get ready (probably second last and part of the time last!), although I used to 'tong' my hair which took an hour alone (showing my age with that reference) so I couldn't really get ready in a hurry. Anyway I absolutely reached panic point when my housemate (quickest at getting ready and usually half pissed whilst waiting for the rest of us) called a taxi before I was finished. I hate that last minute rush of grabbing jewellery, changing my mind about shoes and usually forgetting something I need with me, then being all hot and flustered leaving the house. On Tuesday, Mum and I went shopping and I was doing my usual taking it easy approach, then before I knew it, it was time to leave and I wasn't organised! I grabbed these rings which were sitting next to my bed, threw on these pearls and hoped everything I needed was already in my bag. I picked the dress and tights purely because I figured I couldn't go wrong with black (and they were close to hand). Given more time I probably would've changed my bag and picked different rings. I quite liked the pearls (so did the orange lady in Boots) and these shoes are just so amazing!

Wearing: Black dress and panther ring Primark, alphabet fishnet tights House of Holland, pearls Miss Selfridge, peacock and bird rings gifts, nude quilted bag Love Moschino.
Fit: 4 1/4" heel, a little generous in the heel.
Comfort: No issues with these and easy to walk in.

Day 875 - So Many Secrets Are Unravelling

Shoes: Beige 'Lady Dragon Cherries' Vivienne Westwood Anglomania & Melissa 

After taking a few days off to recuperate from my trip and also getting stuck into eBay again, I've had no time for blogging. I did manage out on Monday, in sunglasses and sandals, only to get wet in the downpour that lasted only the duration of my short walk (someone trying to tell me something?). I was trying to defy the weather and put a little sunshine into my day despite the gloomy and completely non-May-like weather we're experiencing. Can you believe there's been fresh snow in some of the more remote areas of Scotland? In May? That's just nasty! You can't get much more sunshiney than this dress, it's a mixture of happy colours and after changing my mind a couple of times on shoes, I decided to really show the rain with these cherry sandals. Take that! Or not! I'm pretty sure the anorak and glove wearing people I saw on my walk, thought I was completely insane which made me chuckle ; ) You can also check out my brighter than bright makeup on Monster High Monday here.

Wearing: Floral dress, leggings, vest and cardigan Primark, belt taken from another dress, ice-cream hair bows Yama Yama Pretty Mama, Mischief sunglasses Irregular Choice.
Fit: 4 1/4" heel, true to size.
Comfort: No issues with these.

Day 874 - I Can Stay Right Here Forever In Your Arms

Shoes: Hessian 'Can't Touch This' Irregular Choice 

Last post from my trip.  I expected to be rushed and half made up this day, but I actually woke earlier than usual and managed to get dressed and packed before breakfast.  I would've loved to have gone shopping in Glasgow, but other than a quick trip to check out the Barbie stuff in Miss Selfridge and pick up some food, I wasn't able for it.  You may recall I posted on Pink Haired Princess about this Barbie dress, well I wanted to check it out in person.  The 16 looked tiny and actually the whole row of dresses looked practically the same size, so I didn't even bother to try it on.  It's made from a thicker material than I imagined and there was a little stretch to it, but not a great deal (certainly not enough for me to even contemplate trying it).  It was so small I pulled out three size 16's just to check, then when I measured them against the 8, there was literally (and at most) a 1cm difference between the two.  How ridiculous is that? That's 2.5mm per size!  Perhaps I'd have had a different opinion if I'd tried it, but I seriously doubt it would've gone over my head never mind anything else!  Generally the prints were much brighter than I thought and I'm sure I'd fit the striped tee (made from a thinner material than I expected), as an alternative to the dress.  

Wearing:  Neon floral dress H By Henry Holland (worn with belt taken from another dress), leggings and cardigan Primark, Mischief sunglasses Irregular Choice, nude quilted bag Love Moschino, frog ring Miss Selfridge, pig, rabbit and unicorn rings (just seen) and unicorn pearl necklace Topshop, other rings my Granny's.
Fit: True to size, adjustable buckle, 4" perspex heel.
Comfort: Difficult to buckle up but no other issues.

Day 873 - Took A Ride On A Suicide Romance

Shoes: Hessian 'Can't Touch This' Irregular Choice 

This was my travelling outfit to Glasgow on Tuesday. I was so upset after breaking my 'Making Moves' shoes and must have changed my mind another 4 or 5 times as to which shoes to wear instead. I'm so glad I picked this pair (at the last minute), because they gave me absolutely no aches or pains and were just so comfortable. I hadn't had time before we left to take photos, so I quickly took some when we got to the hotel. I was feeling and looking a bit worse for wear at this point after a few hours on the bus and was still a little sniffly from my random 1-day cold the day before!  It was quite strange taking photos somewhere else, but it's nice to have a different backdrop for a change isn't it?  Keep reading on for my outfit I wore at night.

Wearing:  Floral dip hem dress, leggings and beaded cardigan Primark, flower hair clips Debenhams, flower hair comb Yama Yama Pretty Mama, nude quilted handbag Love Moschino, rings ( not shown, but see bottom), unicorn pearl necklace Topshop.
Fit: True to size, adjustable buckle, 4" perspex heel.
Comfort: Difficult to buckle up but no other issues.

I only wore the one pair of shoes and decided against bringing another pair with me. It seemed silly for an overnight stay, no matter how much I'd have liked a little variety! So for night I changed into my Henry Holland dress, took off my necklace, added some earrings, changed my cardi and freshened up my makeup. I also decided against bringing my ASOS cat face maxi dress, which I'd initially thought of wearing to the concert. It didn't look right with any of the shoes I considered, so I thought it best to save it for another day. I didn't feel very dressed up, this is as casual as I get really, but I was more inclined to pack non-crease, practical clothing and to pack light, so it was whatever fitted that criteria.  I have my outfit to come from the next day and then I'll be all caught up on posts this week.  I'm also going to slip in here that I'm selling some items on eBay ending this weekend (Sat/Sun).  I usually forget to tell you until the last minute ; )

Wearing:  Cartoon girl dress H By Henry Holland, leggings and cardigan Primark, nude quilted bag (not shown ) Love Moschino, pig and rabbit rings Topshop, frog ring Miss Selfridge, emerald ring my Granny's, pink fox ring gift, earrings Mawi for ASOS, flower hair clips Debenhams, flower hair comb Yama Yama Pretty Mama.  
How cute is this Irregular Choice bag?  I bought it for my sister a few years ago and she loves taking it to concerts because it's the perfect size for her purse, camera, phone and batteries etc.  I couldn't resist taking a pic to show you.
