Day 809 - Someone Once Told Me That You Have To Choose

Shoes: Brown suede and fur ankle boots 'Pier' L.A.M.B. 

A quick post before I go to bed.  I've only worn these boots once before, but they were super comfy today (Topshop 'Sophie' take note) so I'm keen to wear them again. I just have trouble when it comes to coordinating brown into my wardrobe as I have 'issues' with wearing black with it!  I liked the leggings with the shoes and leggings with the dress, altogether though it was a bit of a mish-mash (although very Nicki Minaj inspired-she owns these boots too).  Add to that the fact I needed a cardi and the majority of mine are black...I was struggling, then I ended up with my patterned black coat, hat, scarf and gloves on and hoped to goodness nobody saw my not so eclectic mix of colours, prints and textures!  I hate bad outfit coordination and have set my own 'rules', so only have myself to blame really.  Also you know how sometimes you look like crap but photograph well?  Today I thought my hair was awesome and rivalled Marge Simpson in height, but it photographed terribly, hence my attempt at a different angle and even using my mobile phone.  It was awesome, honest!

Wearing:  Lilac lace dress and horse coat Primark, Barbie leggings Miss Selfridge, pearl cardigan Dorothy Perkins, belt taken from another dress.
Fit: 5 3/8" heel and 1 1/2" platform, lace-up, true to size (these are a US7.5)
Comfort: Surprisingly very easy to walk in and there were no issues of discomfort.

Day 556 - All Fur'd Up

Shoes: Brown suede and fur ankle boots 'Pier' L.A.M.B.

I'm still running a day behind and boy did I wear cool boots today, not that these aren't.  My LAMB booties make their TSGD debut (as also owned by Nicki Minaj) and I was really surprised by how comfortable and easy they were to walk in, because the heel is very slender.  Every time I wear this dress, I don't quite know what to do with the middle section.  It's supposed to be ruched, but I'm not sure how it supposed to look, as the rest of the dress is already quite big on me and this just emphasises that even more, there's absolute oodles of room in the waist.  A wide belt creates strange bulges underneath but a slim one isn't much better as you can see.  Then I couldn't decide how to wear my hat...with a little bit of hair sticking out or all tucked in?  Given that it was mega windy (again), the only option was "all in" (although I think I prefer the hair one), to minimise the chances of it blowing right off my head, but I've shown it both ways and all cosied up with my coat on!

Wearing: Print dress ASOS, mustard tights and fur hat Primark, tan belt taken from another dress, fur trim coat Boutique at M&Co.
Fit: 5 3/8" heel and 1 1/2" platform, lace-up, true to size (these are a US7.5)
Comfort:  Surprisingly these were very easy to walk in and there were no issues of discomfort.

Day Four Hundred & Forty Five - Caught In The Net

Shoes: Cream 'Faith' mesh bootie L.A.M.B.

Just over an hour and a half left for this pair if you wish to bid. Stunning shoes-so unusual. I wanted these for soooo long and finally saved enough and now they don't really fit properly. Story of my life! I wish I could afford more L.A.M.B. shoes, but they are rather expensive so they're not a brand I can purchase regularly (I've started these much lower than what I paid for them). The striped box and dustbags they come with are pretty cool too-always a sign of a well made shoe when you like the box and get dustbags!

Wearing: No outfit post-can you see how many posts I can get through without an outfit to edit?
Fit: These are a US8 and even then I find them a little small for me (a big UK5)-getting both feet zipped up is the issue, although looking at the length, they are long enough.
Comfort: I've never had the chance to wear these, but they seem like they are easy to walk in.

Day Two Hundred & Forty - Caught In The Net

Can't quite believe we've reached Day 240, gosh that's such a lot! I'm struggling a bit now, I have to properly search to find a pair I haven't worn yet, every day. You're probably going to get a lot of 'special occasion' shoes in the following week because I've been saving them and never needed them, but I'm running out of shoes now! Today's shoes are pissing me off, because I can easily get one foot in, then the other won't zip up the back at all. It's ridiculous and really annoying, especially as I paid a fortune for them and love them! It seems to be the week of ill-fitting shoes so far!

Day One Hundred & Thirty Three - A Little Cheat

Yep, that's right, a little cheat today because I'm feeling like crap and really don't fancy digging out a pair of shoes much less going anywhere in them. I ordered these shoes yesterday and have had my eye on them for a good while. They arrived today and I'm just a little disappointed. They don't *look* that expensive, until you see the details up close, plus they are too big for me. I thought I might need a size up, but due to the conversion from US sizing, I think these are 1 1/2 or 2 sizes too big, so they are going back. A lemming killed!
