Day Thirty-Two - In the Wrong Shoes

I got a call today to say my new glasses were ready to collect, that's quick! They are mega cute, which makes a change, as I usually don't like the pair I chose once I go to collect them! Anyway, I wore adorable shoes, but my camera battery died, so you'll have to make-do with these for now and you'll get todays shoes tomorrow! Make sense?So I'm not wearing New Look grey and black check shoe-boots with House of Holland pink colour card tights.

Day Thirty One - Ouch!

Oooh, I'm really sore after my outing to the opticians yesterday. I also managed a massive clear-out last night. I put together two huge bags containing about 20 pairs of shoes, 5 dresses and half of the tops/vests I own, for charity. It felt good to get rid of so many things that I never use anymore. Although I can't say it's made much of an impression on my messy room!Another Irregular Choice pair today, spotty t-bar sandals-the fabric is ruched over the uppers and heel which you can't really see in the image.

Day Thirty - Can I See?

I took a trip to the the optician today. It's been 2 years since my last check-up. It turns out my prescription has only changed very slightly, but I wanted new frames regardless! It was a hard decision actually as they all looked really nice, the assistant said I looked like a walking spectacles advert! My Mum decided I either looked like Dame Edna or a sexy secretary who would toss her glasses off, let down her hair and rip her blouse open! We had lots of fun trying on different styles and it ended up being between a black Givenchy pair with the logo on the legs in diamante or another black pair with circular holes in the legs and a black and white striped inside. I ended up choosing the latter...I really wanted the Givenchy but more because they match my lipstick. I was forced to admit that the other pair did look better and as a bonus they were half the price of the Givenchy (quite an unjustifiable expense just to match your lippie)!Another gorgeous day today, I'm loving the surprisingly warm weather. Wearing gorgeous Irregular Choice green Venus heels.

Day Twenty Nine - Surprise Sun

I thought summer was officially over, but I was surprised with a lovely sunny, warm day today. So I grabbed a pair of weather-suitable shoes, trying to get as much wear as possible before it's dark, wet and cold!Pale pink and black trim patent peep-toes ASOS

Day Twenty Eight - I'm Back!

I'm back! I've really missed blogging over the past month and although my Pink Haired Princess blog is still AWOL, The Shoe Girl Diaries is back. I was a little hesitant to continue with blogger seeing as the help/support over the past month has been pretty much non-existent. I'm still waiting for them to inform me that my blog has been deleted, nevermind actually fixing it! I'm going to give it another couple of weeks and if nothing happens, I'll have to start all over again with a new blog. That means I lose all the content on the previous one, which totally sucks.

Anyway on with todays shoes. I'm attempting a massive clear-out this week. The majority of shoes I'm going to sell on ebay, which requires photographing and taking details of (which takes a lot of time). The others are going to a charity shop or the bin. Over the past month without you, I have made a few more shoes purchases and there is no room for them, so needs must. I've been rediscovering the odd hidden gem but most pairs I've loved and am happy to see them go to another home. One such pair are these. I never wear them anymore, so to ebay they go! Ignore the strap marks on my feet in this post, it's from trying on several pairs of shoes today.
