Day 762 - The Wind Has Blown And I Have Grown

Shoes: Black 'Regent' Vivienne Westwood

New dress and new shoes to show you today.  Firstly the dress; the print is sooooo pretty, bright and cheerful, it's lovely.  The dress is super lightweight too.  It was slightly shorter than I wanted today, so I popped this little skirt on underneath.  I seem to have lost all my black leggings to the washing basket/machine currently, aside from these, but they are stirrup ones (that sit halfway down your foot, with the hole for your heel) and miles too long.  At first I was going to wear them the proper way, then after trying them with these shoes, I decided I'd just gather them up around my ankle instead.  Finally onto the shoes.  They are the softest, smoothest shoes I've ever felt, I just want to stroke them all over, all day long!  They have a silver mirror sole and the arch of the instep is incredible; the curve on it inside is so severe-I'll have to take pics over the weekend to show you.

Wearing:  Floral dress H by Henry Holland, black leggings, coat and frill skirt worn underneath all Primark, cardigan Bonmarche, belt taken from another dress.
Fit: Snug fit, but I stuck to my usual size.  Heel just under 4 1/2"
Comfort:  My arches ached a little, but this was my first wear.

  2. Don't get me started on that heel, I can't tell you how many seasons Ive been complaining to VW about that heel. You are braver than me for trying it, it's not as bad as the sky scraper heel but it really hurts. Ive only got one pair with this heel, still unworn. I'm all for a high heel but I'd rather be able to walk it it. Adore the silver soles x

    1. Argh the skyscraper-I bought the nude pair last year and had to send them back, it was virtually impossible to lift my feet off the ground to walk plus I was afraid I'd break the skinny heel, this one is much better. I thought the heel looked relatively harmless on these until I saw that curve on the instep, it's vertical!
