Day 998 - Shoesday Tuesday

Wearing Irregular Choice cream One Who Charms
Shoes: Cream 'One Who Charms' Irregular Choice 

Day 998 and I'm almost running out of new shoes to show.  Or at least those I can access.  I've been photographing in bulk, when I've been feeling up to it but ran out of photos.

Day 980 - Find Light In The Beautiful Sea


Shoes: Black suede 'Diamontina' Irregular Choice

I don't want to continue to bore you with the Photobucket issues, but I got a reply from customer support. He agreed with me, that taking over an hour just to log in was ridiculous. That was it. No further help, no idea of what's happening. Anyway it's still being ridiculous and I can't see me renewing my pro account come the summer. I can't say I'm thrilled with the idea of getting used to yet another system, but anything would be better than this. Anyway, not much to say about this outfit. I felt ok-ish in it, then took a look at the photos and almost deleted them all. Bad hair day, bad face day, bad body day. Not feeling great about any of that but hey-ho tomorrow is another day (and an absolute downpour by the sounds of things, so probably no outfit/going out then). What do you do to relieve a crappy day? My method over the past few days has been chocolate. Lots of chocolate.

Wearing: Black midi dress, grey tights and polka dot coat Primark.
Fit: True to size. Kinda difficult to measure this heel, but to the first point it's 5".
Comfort: Really comfy and you definitely don't feel like this is a 5" heel, easy to walk in too.

Day 793 - I Know You Knew That If We Did Do This, It Would Be An Affair

Shoes: Black suede 'Diamontina' Irregular Choice 

Double post coming your way; first up is Sunday. I was pretty much going for simple and comfy with items I've worn loads of times before. I adore these boots; I'll never part with them. I love that they are plain enough to wear with anything, but feature that fabulous diamond shaped, statement heel; it's a nice added surprise. I couldn't access the full length mirror, so I've gone 'old school' with the 'mirror in my room' pics, remember those days?  I don't actually know how people survive without a full length mirror in their house-I need to check everything is ok (no skirt tucked into my knickers etc) before leaving the house!  I can recall at the Halls when I was at Uni, there were 4 'blocks' and only one mirror for us all.  Thankfully I was not only in the correct block, but the same floor as the mirror (and washing machines!).  I did manage to lock myself out of my room though; half dressed with two different shoes on, because I was deciding what to wear in front of that mirror and my door slammed shut.  That was an embarrassing walk to the janitors office!

Wearing: Dog print dress H By Henry Holland, black leggings, hat and coat all Primark.
Fit: True to size. Kinda difficult to measure this heel, but to the first point it's 5".
Comfort: Really comfy and you definitely don't feel like this is a 5" heel, easy to walk in too.

Day 766 - I Want To Let You Know You're Driving Me Crazy

Shoes: Black fringed boots Primark 

I'm well impressed that I've been out of the house most of the day and still managed to post this. I'm actually finding I've gotten into a better routine lately and have been managing to post on both blogs, which I was struggling with for a bit. You know once I say this, I'll disappear off somewhere and not be able to post for weeks! Kidding! Hopefully. It was absolutely freezing today, temperatures didn't get any higher than 2 and I'm so thankful I busted out the big boys just in time for the cold snap. In saying that, these boots have been lurking around my room somewhere since last winter anyway. I wanted to recreate the Victoria Beckham catwalk look of wearing a slim fit dress with bulky looking boots. The hem needs to be mid calf really to get the right look, so this fell a little short, but it was a little nod to the look anyway.  I'm not sure I have any slouchy boots that are long enough-most hit mid calf and my knee highs are usually slim fitting. If the weather stays like this though, it'll be boots with dresses from now until March!

Wearing: Grey leopard print shift dress and black tights Primark, pearl handbag Accessorize, turquoise ring my Granny's, pearl ring gift, wolf ring Evans.
Fit: True to size. Full length zip, 4 1/4" heel.
Comfort: No issues.

Day 608 - I Mean My, My, My, My You're Like Pelican Fly

Shoes: Black 'Carnaby Bond' Irregular Choice

First up, apologies for these crap pics, they in no way do these gorgeous boots justice.  I'm back to using my broken camera (which has at least been turning itself on, so that's a small miracle) and it hates all-black shoes.  It also hates my yellow dress as it came out white in most of the photos.  It's a bad thing when the camera on my phone works better than the real thing!  Anyway, I'll hopefully sneak the good camera back from my sis soon and I know I keep saying it, but I will purchase a decent one soon.  Onto the outfit and these boots are new (from Letsbuyshoes); I've had my eye on them since last year and was so happy to strike them off my Irregular Choice Autumn/Winter wishlist!  I felt a little like a shire horse plodding along in them with the fringes, but I'm totally in love with them.  I'm racking up quite the arsenal of must-have IC boots, which excites me immensly!  The lacing up is tricky though as the laces are woven through the fringes and after taking them out on one foot (and spending the next 15 minutes lacing them up and through the fringes again), I decided it was totally puzzling but better to do it without taking the fringes off.  I went a size up in these after using my Petrisha pair as a guide, which have a similar shape.  However they do feel bigger than those and Pat's Picnic.

Wearing: Yellow seagull dress Fearne Cotton at Very, suede leggings, cardigan and fur hat all Primark, pegasus brooch Miss Selfridge.
Fit: I'm a bit undecided with whether you need to size up or not, they don't feel massively huge on me though, so it's always safer to get a size bigger.  Heel just under 5 1/2" with a 2" platform.
Comfort: Easy to walk in, a pain to lace up.

Day 590 - You'll Never Change What's Been And Gone

Shoes: Black fringed boots Primark

Oh what a day or rather what a month! I've always hated February and decided not to let it get to me this year, but it's really starting to.  Ok, so this obsession with the dark eyes, wearing black etc, I'm thinking it's in part due to my hair, as well as my mood.  I haven't dyed it since mid-December, so obviously the roots are really bad, which would normally bother me.  However, I'm embracing the look now and just want to wear lots of eyeliner, my beanie hat, Gaga t-shirt and some skinny jeans or leather trousers, which by the way I don't own!  I probably wouldn't be comfortable wearing something like that these days though, so I'll just have to grunge-ify my pretty dresses as much as is possible.  I always kinda admired girls that already have that 'rock look' to them, no matter what they're wearing.   I'm always a bit too prim and prissy!

Wearing:  Pink and black floral dress, suede leggings and hat all Primark-oh and the shoes-an entire Primark outfit!
Fit:  True to size.  Full length zip, 4 1/4" heel.
Comfort:  No issues.

Shoes: Black suede 'Diamontina' Irregular Choice

Hello, hope you're enjoying the weekend.  This was my 'off day' on Thursday, wasn't feeling that great, couldn't be bothered-one of those days.  My outfit was purely comfort and I'm wearing absolutely no makeup...shock, horror.  Plus I actually posted pics of that, more shock, horror! Haha.  I have a couple more posts I'd like to catch up on this weekend, so stay tuned.

Wearing: Pink and black floral dress ASOS, suede leggings and hat both Primark, belt gift.
Fit: True to size. Kinda difficult to measure this heel, but to the first point it's 5".
Comfort: Really comfy and you definitely don't feel like this is a 5" heel, easy to walk in too.
