Day 1264 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Looks Like Rain Dear | Irregular Choice 

A break from the planned continuation of unicorn heels, after red Trixy last week, because a week past Friday Irregular Choice launched their Christmas collection. Quite early for once! I bought several pairs and they came the next day and I'm going to do fit reviews for each and then hopefully get a more in-depth look up on Pink Haired Princess later. The weather has definitely not been camera friendly this past week, so I hastily emptied the piles of shoe boxes from the shoe room floor when I spied some light at the weekend. I managed two pairs before collapsing in a heap, so here's Looks Like Rain Dear, brilliant name by the way!

Day 1263 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Trixy (red, gold heel) | Irregular Choice 

I hadn't realised it was as long as a month since I last posted, IC's Flaming June.  I've not been feeling the best, the usual end of year exhaustion, which I don't understand because I've done absolutely nothing for the last couple of years.  I did have the dentist last month, which was my first time out of the house in a while and I'm guessing it's that that's taken it out of me.  Anyway, I've been buying shoes, Irregular Choice, which usually wouldn't be a surprise, but if you've been keeping up with my blog, you'll know not much has appealed to me in recent collections, so actually it's pretty rare. 

Day 1262 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Flaming June | Irregular Choice 

Another archive set of photos for you this week after my Hot Shot teddies last time.  Flaming June are from SS17 and came in various colours.  I wanted the mint green the most (no surprise there), but ended up with the pink.  I much prefer cooler shades of pink and IC tend to make theirs very warm and peachy. 

Day 1254 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Merrie Melodies | Irregular Choice (Looney Tunes) 

Today I have the second part of my Looney Tunes haul from Irregular Choice after the Saturday Morning ankle boots last week.  Unlike those, the style today wasn't an IC exclusive, so is available from most stockists and also came in a darker colourway.  The cloud and Tweety Pie portion of the heel is exactly the same as last time, though the platform, as I mentioned last week is mirrored gold.  As I said then, while I like the slightly reflective nature of it, I do think it looks a bit cheap.  You'll see I have one downward looking bird and one sitting up to attention.  I think both were a bit droopy on the boots.

Day 1250 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Odette | Irregular Choice 

Another scorcher today, I've been struggling since I woke this morning, it's just so muggy.  The current weather warning ends here at midnight, so I'm hoping for a better sleep, but won't bet on it.  Once more I'm having to rely on old photos for this post and have just realised I didn't have any of the back view (I took these photos back in 2019 for the shoe challenge on Instagram, so wasn't intending them to be used for my fit reviews here) and I wanted to familiarise myself with the sizing, but although I know where the shoes are, I can't reach them.  In this heat, I'm refusing to exert myself, so I won't be moving boxes around the shoe room.  I'll update this post once I reach them, if anything changes, but I think I remember the sizing.  Last week, I posted the very old Shimmy Pom Pom if you missed that. 

Day 1248 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Dotty Love (red) | Irregular Choice 

Another heart themed pair from my photo archives this week, after the cut-out heart heeled, Rosie Posy last time. I have previously fit reviewed Dotty Love actually, as I bought them in two colours. They launched for SS15 and I got the red and blue, but they also came in black (all with a white base).

Day 1243 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Barnacle Betty | Irregular Choice 

Another set of old photos and a pair I find it hard to believe I've never reviewed here before (from SS17).  Firstly, last week were the lilac version of Pooch Perfect boots if you missed those and there's a link in that post to the white pair I reviewed first.  These perspex carved heels haven't been appearing all that much lately.  There were ankle boots in both Pokemon and The Wizard Of Oz collections, along with the red Click Your Heels shoes that I bought from Oz and prior to that, Little Twin Stars shoes in the Sanrio launch. 

Day 1237 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Hop To It | Irregular Choice 

I've overdone it this past week (making a 40th birthday card for my sister), so the new shoes I'd hoped to show you, will have to wait another week.  I bought Hop To It, back when they launched in Spring 2018.  The photos are from a year later, when I was doing #365daysofIrregularChoice on Instagram and I have to say my feet have clearly grown since. 

Day 1235 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Trixy (blue/teal) | Irregular Choice 

Last week I shared the newest variation of gold-heeled Trixy unicorn courts and today I have the pair I was even more intrigued to see in person.  The reason being, these have a brand new coloured heel.  Still mirrored metallic, but in a bright turquoise.  It's totally my type of colour, so I was instantly attracted to it from the teaser (without even seeing the uppers). 

Day 1234 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Trixy (gold, black/multi) | Irregular Choice

Finally something launched at Irregular Choice that I like! We've been seeing some older styles brought back in new colourways (remember the Poker Joker dice boots I showed you a couple of months ago?) and last Friday was the turn of the unicorn court shoe, Trixy.  There were two options along with matching Magic Pony handbags. 

Day 1233 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Love Is All Around | Irregular Choice 

These boots came out in SS18, but I think I picked them up in one of the Irregular Choice online hidden gems sales.  They are of course, based on a much older style known as Can Can, which also came in court shoe form.  Personally, I love the shape of the boot.  The heel is a lot shorter than I'd usually attempt, but the slightly weird shoe-boot shape, just draws me in.  That said, this style just aren't comfortable for me and I need to realise that!  I first had the black and white zig-zag patterned pair (iconic pattern, but I eventually sold them).  Then I bought the green paisley fabric with the swans on, in a size-up and they were the incorrect pair in the right box, so were actually 2 sizes bigger and had to be returned.  These I bought in my regular 5/38, but they're just not right on me. 

Day 1224 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Click Your Heels | Irregular Choice, The Wizard Of Oz 

Something new for you this week.  The Wizard Of Oz Irregular Choice collaboration launched mid December and whilst I'm not fanatical about the film (like a lot of people are), I did like some of the collection.  I wasn't going to get anything though, but this style was my favourite and down to one pair left in my size the day after release, so I buckled and bought them!  This style is exclusive to Irregular Choice, so you can't get it from any other IC stockist.

Day 1222 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Paint A Santa | Irregular Choice 

Back to normality this week with my Tuesday fit review post.  Firstly, Happy New Year, I haven't actually said that to anyone yet.  I've not been feeling great, exhaustion I think from the festive period, doing too much blogging (if you combine my posts from 2018, 2019 and 2020, it's still 20 less than I blogged in 2021!) and my booster the week before Christmas.  I'm sleeping a lot, struggling to move around and was nearly sick the other night, probably as I took these photos during the day.  I still don't know my limits, clearly!  Anyway, my sister got me these shoes for Christmas. 

Day 1219 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Queenie | Irregular Choice 

Back to the archive styles today and you'll likely recall I went crazy for this heel shape when it was released in 2017. I originally bought the mint Kir Royal and Tatsu ankle boot, going on to buy the black KR and then this style, Queenie, in pink and black. Neither colour I've shared here before, so here's the pink version, though it's more a dusky, mauve type shade to me in real life.

Day 1218 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Wish Magic | Irregular Choice 

New pair of shoes incoming! It's been a while since I've had a new season/new style from IC, but these wand heels from their Magic Sceptre collection that launched last week, really spoke to me. First though, I have to apologise that the photos aren't the best. The first pair of tights I wore were a disaster when it came to editing (I suspected as much and should've trusted my instincts, but you never know for sure until you've started resizing them online), so I had to reshoot the whole lot. By then, the sun was shining and creating all sorts of brightness and shadows and my phone wasn't positioned as well as the first time and chopped off the bottom of the shoes, so I had to try for a third time...I was beat by this point!  I've salvaged what I can, albeit with shadows and Casper legs, but I've covered all angles as usual.

Day 1213 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Paint A Flopsy | Irregular Choice 

I wasn't going to show you these until I decorated the heel, but seeing as I shared the Paint Your Own Heels collection from 2021, I figured I may as well show the originals.  These launched last March, before the unicorns (which I can't show you because they are half done, but I've neglected them for months).  The collection in 2021 also included a bunny heel (Paint A Bunny), which I felt was different enough to justify owning both (and I have different ideas for the heels). 

Day 1210 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Delicate Diamond | Irregular Choice 

These boots were part of the updated diamond shaped heel collection for AW20.  The heel is a lot slimmer and lighter than the previous jewel shape we'd seen on the likes of Diamontina years ago.  I originally bought the green version (exclusive to IC) and had always hankered after this pink/red combo, so when they restocked them in the summer sale, I snapped them up.  I feel they are different enough to the green ones to justify both and they came in black too, which again are a totally different look. 

Day 1208 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: It's Time To Have Fun | Irregular Choice x Sanrio 

The next pair of Irregular Choice shoes I bought from the Sanrio collection, are these winged courts.  Last week I shared the Playing Dress Up boots if you missed those.  The pair today, I was most unsure of when ordering, but as I said in my first impressions post, they really went up in my estimations when I saw them for real. 

Day 1207 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Playing Dress Up | Irregular Choice x Sanrio 

So, this week I have the first of my Irregular Choice Sanrio footwear buys from the collection that launched recently.  I've written a summary of the items I bought and my first impressions over on Pink Haired Princess and I was slightly critical of these boots.  They were a style we saw in the previews and I thought a pair, I'd definitely keep, but when they arrived I wasn't so sure.  Having properly tried them on for this post, I've changed my mind yet again, I really like them! Isn't that typical? 

Day 1198 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Paint A Friend | Irregular Choice 

Here's the final Irregular Choice 'Paint Your Own Heels' style from the collection that launched last month.  Like the bunnies last week, the plain unicorn heel was initially released last year (I blogged about them here) and once more I felt these were different enough to own both.
