Day 1028 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes:  Irregular Choice 'Fancy This Party People' 

The other month, I decided to put my money where my mouth was, after mentioning these shoes several times in blog posts.  Most notably, I styled them in The Shoe Girl Styles It here...way back in November last year.
The heel looks a little lower than I'd usually opt for, but actually it's just under 4".  I think my feet are getting wider, so the strap barely fastens (Velcro) on me.  I've included a shot of this below.  Hopefully once I get moving about again, my feet will slim, but certainly right now the shoes feel quite snug and I could do with extra length in the strap (not sure how it will withhold walking/movement).  The promotional images don't do these shoes justice (I know I sound like a broken record regarding this), because the lovely iridescent sheen has to be witnessed in real life.  I've included a photo of the shoes with the flash on, so you can see just how colourful and sparkly they become.  The heel and bow are a fine cream glitter.  One of my bows is a little loose (stitched on, but wobbling about), so glue may be required to fix that, but otherwise I can never fault the Schuh service.  Free delivery usually always arrives next day, which is brilliant.  This style/colourway are a Schuh exclusive by the way, so you won't find them elsewhere.  What do you think? Mermaid/unicorn worthy shoes?

Fit:  Just under 4" heel, Velcro strap fastening.  Usual size, wider feet may wish to size-up for extra wiggle room/strap.
Comfort:  Once I break these in, they should be a little comfier. holographic glitter mary jane shoes with bows on floorwearing rainbow holographic material shoes with bowside view of strap fastening on holographic shoes

  2. Ooh - I have these shoes (had to get them when you posted them on your blog). I love them and call them my mermaid shoes too! I wear them with a pastel colour mermaid print top from Iron Fist to continue the theme. They've had so many compliments and they look amazing on a sunny day.

    The only downside to the shoes is their comfort - I can't wear them for very long periods of time.

    However, i'm still in love with them and have you to thank for bringing them to my attention.

    Thanks,

    Andrea

    1. Brilliant. I haven't thought how I'll wear them yet. I do think once they stretch a little they'll be slightly more comfortable because at the moment they are snug on me. I'm finding that a lot lately though, but the size up are too big (haven't tried them in this style though).

  3. They are really amazing, I love Irregular Choice! I know what you mean, I have some pairs with bows and sometimes I need some glue to fix them. But it's fine after 30 seconds! They really look amazing!
