Day Three Hundred & Ninety Nine - Almost There

Shoes: Kandee 'Bubbly Gum' pale blue and dusky pink courts

How the hell did we get to Day 399 already? It's just flown by. Today are a pair that I haven't featured here before and I'm realising I still have quite a few 'never seen before' pairs actually. I was going to be busy with eBay today, but I lost interest pretty quickly. I couldn't be bothered finding more shoes to sell and the cosmetics have the strictest guidelines on eBay which is extremely irritating. Only being allowed to sell 5 items from a huge range of brands in 30 days is far too tight if you ask me. I know it's supposed to cut-down on fake merchandise, but seriously!

Wearing: Beach print dress Primark, black cardi with white bows New Look and black leggings.
Fit: 4" heel and 3/4" platform, you need to take a full size up in these.
Comfort: Didn't have any issues with these, chunky easy to walk in heel.

Day Three Hundred & Ninety Eight - I Love You With A Cherry On The Top!

Shoes: River Island pink satin cherry print peep toes with crystals

Sometimes a shoe can look stunning on the shelf but once on they're uncomfortable or don't fit or look quite right. River Island have this uncanny knack though of making shoes that 'feel' good and look good too! It's no secret that these shoes were the poor (wo)man's version of the lust worthy Miu Miu swallow heels, but in reality they are I'm sure just as gorgeous as the 'real' thing. Money doesn't come into it, in my opinion they are stunning, they were sparkling like crazy in the sunshine today and they make me feel great. They're comfortable and have a cute, fat, chunky feel making my feet look tiny, so I couldn't care less if they're high end or high street! Mwah!


Wearing: Black pencil shift dress Asos Curve, black tights, black sunglasses Primark, jewelled hairband gift from my Mum to help cover my roots!
Fit: Surprisingly 5 1/4" heel (doesn't feel too high) and small platform. Two straps with adjustable buckles, true to size.
Comfort: These were tested to their limit last year when I wore them bare foot/legged to a wedding, all day and night and they gave me no issues and they're super easy to walk in.

Day Three Hundred & Ninety Seven - Black & White

Shoes: Irregular Choice Can Can zig zag ankle boots

I've been so slow today! I didn't get out of my jammies until quarter to five, oops! The dress I'm wearing you've seen before and I didn't get any decent shots of it today as I was in such a hurry, so you'll just have to imagine what it looked like! I have given you an extra shoe shot as compensation, heehee!

Wearing: Black and white polka dot dress with peter pan collar New Look, black leggings Primark and nude lace ankle socks Miss Selfridge.
Fit: These are my regular size and although I don't reckon they need to be bigger, the fit isn't great. 3 3/4" heel and back bow can be untied if you need.
Comfort: Considering the small heel on these, they are not at all comfy, my feet don't fit well in the curves or shape of where they should in these boots. When walking, you feel your foot slipping backwards (and out) so it rubs. Purely for sitting or short distances!

Day Three Hundred & Ninety Six - Dreamy

Shoes: Irregular Choice turquoise poodle print wedge ankle boots

I've been out of the house all day, so the photos were a little rushed this morning. I felt the boots weren't shown off to their best, so I'll maybe retake the images tomorrow! The boots are stunning, definitely one of my favourite pairs of IC's or favourite full stop! A gorgeous dress too, which I bought a little while back and it was a little tight, but it's much better now that I've lost a little weight. The print is super cute.

Wearing: Scenic print dress New Look, pin up necklace ASOS, all rings Primark.
Fit: Just over 4" slim wedge heel, true to size. Can be worn several ways.
Comfort: No problems with these.

Day Three Hundred & Ninety Five - Hello!

Shoes: Black croc 'Florence' lace-ups Irregular Choice

I'm back, sorry for the unexpected break! Well, it's due to an entirely miserable weekend. We didn't get any snow, instead we got rain, all day and all night for 4 days now, it's ridiculous! So I've avoided going out, although I had a doctors appointment today so had to! Although the hospital is relatively near by, I didn't want to get soaked sitting in the wheelchair, so we 'walked' and took the bus. The problem is, the only bus that got us there on time was a circular and technically we wanted to go backwards one stop, which you can't do obviously, so we had to go all around the town and the bus was stinking of pee! Nice! Anyway, I walked back home and that was pretty impressive for me, as I really struggle with any sort of distance. I'm sore already though! So these were my sensible shoes for rain and walking-quite difficult to find a pair in my collection that aren't suede like or fabric!

Wearing: I don't know why I decided on a bold purple eye when I wore this dress, the whole 'dressing for the rain' thing baffled me! In my defence I chose the eye makeup first, then changed my mind about what to wear. Floral dress, black leggings and cardi Primark.
Fit: These are marked a US 7.5 and fit fine. 4 1/4" heel.
Comfort: Very comfy and easy to walk in, so I picked well!
