Day 975 - Take Me Home To The Place I Belong

Shoes: Metallic 'Sanai' peep toes Faith 

I'm sorry the posts have been a little sporadic here lately. I seem to slog it out all day and haven't achieved anything by the end of it! Maybe I'm just out of my routine since Christmas. Anyway, this was Wednesday (I think) and I really wanted to wear something I haven't worn for ages as I've been feeling a little uninspired with my outfits. Cue these shoes. October 2011 was the last time you saw these apparently! 2011! It's funny how some things still avoid being sold/given away even if they haven't been worn for years. If you haven't already guessed, I don't really believe in those "if you haven't worn them for 'x time' you never will" rules, because these prove I can go years without, but still love wearing them. They're comfortable and kind of unobtrusive and reserved for me, which was a pleasant change. Plus they worked soooo well with this dress, perfect matching tones.  

Wearing: 'Celia' dress and wine belt both Swan by Clements Ribeiro, black tights and polka dot coat Primark.
Fit: True to size, zip opening, 4 3/4" heel.
Comfort: No issues with these.

Day 954 - You Even Get Suspicious When I Paint My Nails

Shoes: Taupe 'Saflufy' Faith 

I've been super busy with eBay again this weekend, so this outfit had to wait until today. Then when I went to edit the photos, I realised I took none of the shoes. Like not even rubbish, out of focus ones, none at all! I'm losing it!  So today I'm half dressed wearing these boots and my jammies to take photos of them!  I don't think I'd normally wear furry boots so 'early' into winter but it was really cold the other day and all I wanted was comfy wee boots.  This is another one of my bargain £8 dresses, not my favourite print, but you can't really go wrong at £8 can you?  I found this belt the other day, which had been hidden under a pile of crap for months and forgotten about and it added a nice touch.  This week will possibly be quite sporadic again as I'm going to Edinburgh on Wednesday (I don't go for years then twice in a matter of weeks), to see The Lion King at The Playhouse!  I'll be out of the house all day and I'm not sure how I'll be feeling for the rest of the week because it's going to be exhausting for me.  Plus my internet is acting crazy right now, like really slow to the point of repeatedly losing connection. It's irritating to say the least!

Wearing: Red tile print dress and leggings Primark, gold tortoise belt ASOS, clover cardigan Swan by Clements Ribeiro.
Fit: True to size, 4 1/4" heel, lace up front.
Comfort: Easy to walk in, no problems.

Day 848 - It’s All Talk, Talk, Talk, Talkin' In The Wind

Shoes: Taupe 'Saflufy' Faith 

I thought it was a lovely day today with no snow but apparently it was white before I woke up. Then later we had a few very heavy snow showers. Thankfully it's disappearing as quickly as it falls and although snow at the end of March is unexpected and slightly annoying, I can live with it so long as I can still get out and about. I'm at least getting my wear out of my boots this season! This dress is just so beautiful, I only wish it went with more in my wardrobe, it's a little difficult to style in that sense.  I teamed it with leggings this time, it feels a little short with tights but a little long with leggings.

Wearing: Ballerina print dress Pearl Lowe at Peacocks, leggings Primark.
Fit: True to size, 4 1/4" heel, fully lined and lace up front.
Comfort: Easy to walk in, no problems.

Day 840 - Now I'm Dancing For My Life

Shoes: Pink satin 'Love' platforms Faith 

June 2010 was apparently the last time I wore these shoes...yikes! I can remember wearing them to my cousins wedding and adding some clip-on earrings to the fronts to (I'm going to sound like my mother here) "jazz them up"! However I'm beginning to think their wedding was before The Shoe Girl Diaries existed-scary thought! Anyway, I decided to wear them today because I needed to inject some colour into this grey and black outfit. I decided these were just about as inappropriate as one can get given the recent snow and ice and considering it's completely cleared today, I was quite happy to be inappropriate. I did team them with my granny-tights and I suppose the black lace pencil skirt was another contrast to the casual, grey horse tee. I now own four Henry Holland tops/t-shirts and am managing to accumulate quite a collection of tops, all of which will be paired with this skirt! By far the hardest working item in my wardrobe currently!

Wearing: Grey horse t-shirt H By Henry Holland, lace Grace skirt Swan by Clements Ribeiro, cardigan Bonmarche, coat and grey tights Primark.
Fit: True to size. Two buckle fastenings on each shoe, heel just over 5" and platform 1".
Comfort: Other than breaking my nail (waaaay far down) on the buckle taking them off, no issues.

Day 826 - Two Black Cadillacs Driving In A Slow Parade

Shoes: Taupe 'Saflufy' Faith 

S'up peeps? I've had the house to myself all day, ahhhh peace! So I've managed to get a fair bit of work done, although I just realised I still haven't shown you my outfit from Sunday that I didn't post at the time. Speaking of old news, apparently last time I wore these boots was...January 2011, yikes! It actually took until December last year for me to realise we were in 2012...I think I thought it was 2011, woops! Also when my sister has her birthday in January, I have a habit of making myself a year older too, so when it comes round to my birthday in May I'm all confused and and usually add on another year (crap I'll be a pensioner before you know it that way!).  Anyway not sure why I went off on a tangent there!  Lovely cute little boots that don't get worn often enough because they are brown and you all know I have issues pairing that with black which is the base colour for the majority of my wardrobe! I do like the brown though and they're very cosy too!

Wearing: Neon floral dress H By Henry Holland, suede leggings and coat Primark, than belt taken from another dress.
Fit: True to size, 4 1/4" heel, fully lined and lace up front.
Comfort: Easy to walk in, no problems.

Day 732 - I'm A Space Bound Rocket Ship & Your Heart's The Moon

Shoes: Bronze 'Lacey' Faith

Normally these shoes hurt like hell, they have a tendency to rub at the ankle and heel. I haven't worn them since 'Day 307' back in August 2010! So I wondered if they would work with socks...a bit of a difficult one given that they are technically sandals and with an open toe. I wondered if I was bordering on 'British Grandad on his hols' territory! I think it may have worked though...just. It did the trick for helping out my legs anyway, no issues whatsoever!! This cardigan is new, from Granny-shop Bonmarche! I can't tell you how difficult it is to find a little black cardigan this season. It's jumpers everywhere, so in a bout of desperation, Mum and I wandered into Bonmarche, where I've never been before. It was filled with a lot of Granny-ish things right enough, but thankfully I found a wee cardi. It's slightly longer than I'd have liked (it feels a bit boxy), but it'll do and it's not like I had any much of a choice.

Wearing:  Floral dip hem dress H by Henry Holland, cardigan Bonmarche, pearl bow clasp Primark, socks gift.
Fit: True to size, 5 1/2" heel with 1 1/2" double platform.
Comfort: Normally they rub but there were no issues with my socks!
