Day 1022 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Black suede Icy (doll) Jeffrey Campbell 

Remember a while back, I asked which shoes you'd like to see next? "Doll" was an option and here they are! I told you they were crazy!! Safe to say I had my eye on these for years though.

Day 963 - Don't Leave Me Standing All By Myself

Shoes: Cat Tapestry 'Lita' Jeffrey Campbell

Yesterday it was still a little icy in places as you can see from the photo at the bottom of this post.  So I was wary of wearing skinny heels or anything too high.  It's been nice to have had all these months without the worry of frost and ice, although I have quite a few (almost sensible) boots to see me through the 'bad' period.  I'm afraid my outfit photos are extremely poor, but there was a serious lack of daylight by the time I got dressed and either my camera refused to take the pic or they didn't turn out very well.  Add to that an extremely static dress, which I tried to fix for the photos by adding an underskirt...which was then visible in the photos, which I hadn't realised until it came to uploading them.  Oh it just wasn't my day was it?  However, it was one dicky photo or none at all!  I love the colour of this dress with my hair when it's purple, it's otherwise very difficult to wear when it clashes against my hair colours.  My makeup was popping! I'm not usually one for brown eye makeup, but it looked very sultry and I loved the glossy nude lips (although hate the taste of the Urban Decay lipstick).  

Wearing:  Swallow dress New Look, leggings and coat Primark, lace socks Miss Selfridge.  
Fit: I bought these from Office so they are EU/UK sized (38/5). Just under 5" heel and 1 3/4" platform.
Comfort: Felt very uncomfortable across my little toe on one foot, for some reason.

Day 879 - Chill Out, What You Yellin' For?

Shoes: Floral tapestry 'Damsel' Jeffrey Campbell @Office

It's been really pleasant to have a spell of sunshine and warmish weather with no rain. Monday didn't look like a scorcher but was around 22 degrees, possibly the warmest it's been this year. It was dull and overcast though, so this outfit was perfect as a nod to the warm weather but without looking too ridiculous with no sunshine! I forgot how high these wedges are, much higher than the (similar) ASOS Ablaze boots. My old physio would have been going crazy at me stooping using my walking stick with too high shoes! She gave me a few sticks in a variety of lengths, so I could use them with high or very high heels. I've become so accustomed to my own stick now though, that the other ones feel uncomfortable, so I don't use them. Plus mine has a pretty pattern on it!

Wearing: Coral lace dress George at Asda, pearl and beaded cardigan Primark, belt taken from another dress, lace socks H&M.
Fit: True to size (these are a UK5), 6 1/2" heel and 2 1/2" platform.
Comfort: Quite a steady base to walk on despite the height, I wouldn't sprint in them though!

Day 816 - Kick Down The Door And Turn It Up A Little More

Shoes: Black patent 'Lita' Jeffrey Campbell at Zalando 

I had a little bit of a day-off yesterday.  My sister got the new Monster High DVD, so we watched the 'Skultimate Roller Maze' movie (don't ever watch these things unless you're prepared to buy all the dolls afterwards, because they look too cute to resist in the vid).  Then I happened to see an advert for the Julianne Moore film, The Forgotten which was on last night.  It looked quite good, so Mum and I watched it.  It kinda had a rubbish ending, hate when that happens! Anyway, I'm hopeless at switching off, so just thought about all the work I should have been doing, but it's been a very productive day today and I've got done what I intended, so it's all worked out.  I was feeling very 90's grunge on Friday (this outfit) and this new dress fit the bill (btw they have it in several colours and patterns).  It's not like the zipped shift dress, where it pulls you in, it's very flimsy (only cost a tenner), but I'd been wanting to try a midi bodycon dress for a while.  Not sure it was entirely flattering in some angles, but I felt good in it and it was comfortable, so I didn't really care.  I completely forgot how much I love an all-black outfit!

Wearing:  Black midi bodycon dress and spotty coat Primark, fishnet alphabetights House of Holland, wine belt Swan by Clements Ribeiro.
Fit: I'm a UK5/38 and these are a US8 and fit perfectly. Just under 5" heel and 1 3/4" platform.
Comfort: Didn't have any issues.

Day 772 - I Have Loved You For A Thousand Years

Shoes: Cat Tapestry 'Lita' Jeffrey Campbell 

It was milder today and no frost/ice by the time I ventured out, which was nice.  I forgot how pleasant it was to be able to choose a pair of shoes simply because you want to wear them, rather than thinking about if you'll fall on ice in them and are they warm enough!  Another new dress and one I've attempted to wear at least twice before but changed into something else last minute.  I can't admit to putting much thought into this outfit mind you, but it worked alright.

Wearing:  Rabbit print shirt dress H by Henry Holland, suede leggings Primark, swallow cardigan Dorothy Perkins, lace ankle socks H&M.
Fit: I bought these from Office so they are EU/UK sized, these were a 38/5. Just under 5" heel and 1 3/4" platform.
Comfort: Didn't have any issues.

Day 752 - But You're Pretty Messed Up Too

Shoes: Black patent 'Lita' Jeffrey Campbell at Zalando 

Hello peeps! This is my outfit yesterday and I absolutely loved it!!  Sadly the camera didn't and it was so dark that I couldn't get any decent full-length shots.  The dress is new, it's got a nude top half with black devore detail then the maxi skirt section is half sheer.  Well, I say 'half', my arse is hanging ou the bottom of the slip, so there's no way I could wear it bare legged or with tights without another slip underneath!  I thought these bright leggings would look fabulous though and really liked the flash of colour and print against an another wise dark and quite gothic outfit.  I spiced it up with some big boots and my faithful hat and there you go!  I can already tell I'll be wearing this dress loads, it's ultra versatile, it's just a pity it looks a little awkward with a coat in winter (it would look fabulous with a shorter (leather) jacket).

Wearing:  Sheer maxi dress, bobble hat and coat all Primark, cardigan Bonmarche, Barbie leggings Miss Selfridge, lace socks gift.
Fit: I'm a UK5/38 and these are a US8 and fit perfectly. Just under 5" heel and 1 3/4" platform.
Comfort: Didn't have any issues.

Day 747 - I'm A Die Hard Like Bruce Willis

Shoes: Black leather and leopard print 'Lita' Jeffrey Campbell 

Brrrr, it's freezing outside (and inside!).  I've been saving these boots for the colder weather.  I've already blogged about them on Pink Haired Princess, comparing them to my other Lita's because this pair do have a different shape.  Having worn them and looking at the pictures, I do prefer the original shape more than these.  I like them from the front, but the upturned toe and shape of the platform look a little odd from other angles.  I love leopard print though, so I'm glad to add a pair of boots like these to my collection.  I decided to go all-out with leopard print socks too!  I got them for Christmas years ago from a friend and have never worn them (!), I found them when tidying the other day and they seemed like the perfect addition to this outfit!  I'm thinking this outfit is bordering on 'sensible' and 'practical', for me anyway!

Wearing:  Black double collar dress H By Henry Holland, black leggings, hat and polka dot coat Primark, leopard socks gift.
Fit: True to size (these are UK/EU sized), just over 5" heel and 2 1/2" platform.
Comfort:  No problems with these.
