Shoes: Black 'Wing Invador' Irregular Choice
Hello, was dry today so I actually got outside! Not saying it will be tomorrow though ; ) I just got this dress last week, it's super short (!) so leggings only for me and I thought these shoes would look great with it, as they've got similar colours to the stars and moons on the dress. I had to add little nude fishnet socks underneath before going out though, because you know when your toes scrunch up in a shoe and you can't get them straight? These shoes always do this with bare feet, but the socks sorted it out. Not entirely convinced I suit the high neckline on this dress, but I love that it's velvet. I've actually got three more HH dresses that I bought (fast taking over from Pearl Lowe to become the biggest brand in my wardrobe) that I can't wait to wear! Oh and lipstick if anyone asks is MAC Viva Glam Nicki with my lipstick of the week by Lancome, yes the combo's really so bright that the colour 'bleeds' in photos!
Wearing: Star and moon print dress H by Henry Holland, black leggings and spotty coat Primark, cardigan Bonmarche, tan belt taken from another dress.
Fit: True to size, a little tight across my foot. Just over 4" heel.
Comfort: My arches ached a little, this was my first time wearing them, otherwise ok.

Day 760 - A Puzzle Made Of Pieces You Can't Find
Shoes: Pink glitter 'Antibes' Carvela
I'm going to do a quick post on this jumper over on Pink Haired Princess, possibly later tonight. I never wear jumpers! I rarely wear separates and certainly felt out of my comfort zone, but wanted to try something different. Like an X-Factor judge would say I wanted to "make it my own" and hope I have. I've never been very good at layering, so that was all new to me too! Anyway these shoes were just perfect to lift the outfit. I'd bought a size bigger in these (because it was the only size in stock) and when they first arrived, I was so glad I did, because they seemed very small. They did feel too big today when I was out walking though, even with these super thick (fleece lined) tights. My arches and ankles were aching, so I cut the walk short and got home as quick as my legs would carry me! Definitely need insoles for next time!
Wearing: Unicorn jumper ASOS, black skirt, tights and hat all Primark, crochet collar dress (worn underneath) Dorothy Perkins, belt taken from another dress.
Fit: Slim fit, but take your usual size. 4 1/2" heel.
Comfort: Let's hope they get better next time with the insoles.

Day 759 - Follow That Unicorn On The Road To Love
Shoes: Black patent 'Paw Paw' Irregular Choice
Hello! Here's my outfit from yesterday, after another visit to the dentist. I swear I'm going to go bankrupt through the expense of dental appointments, transport to and from and all the brushes and mouthwash and floss I have to buy! Maybe I should take out shares in toothbrushes or something! Anyway, don't think I've worn these shoes before although I have had them for some time. The little teddy on the front is attached with studs and there are different attachments, but none look as nice (or sit properly), so I'll be keeping the teds on. I thought black tights would be a bit boring, so opted for some colour.
Wearing: Bird print dress Dorothy Perkins, cardigan Bonmarche, unicorn brooch and Marilyn Monroe ring Bambi Cottage, leopard ring and purple tights Primark, owl ring H&M, quilted bag Love Moschino.
Fit: True to size, a little 'flat' in the toe. Adjustable buckle on strap. Just over 4" heel.
Comfort: I think the strap could rub at the back of the heel, but otherwise no issues.

Day 758 - Sometimes In My Tears I Drown
Shoes: Pale blue patent mary-janes New Look
Hello! I had a day in my jammies yesterday to recover from the day before, but am back today! I wanted to be able to take this dress from summer into winter with thick tights and a cardi and it worked because there's black in the floral print, so it didn't look too 'summery'. You haven't seen these shoes for ages, I think it's been at least 2 years! I was on tip-toes on a stool reaching over piles and piles of shoe boxes, to find them in the furthest corner on top of my wardrobe! I guess that's why I haven't worn them much lately! I also rediscovered this floral coat today too. I have the dentist tomorrow (yep twice in one week-lucky me), so the post might be a little late.
Wearing: Floral dress Dorothy Perkins, cardigan Bonmarche, black tights and floral coat Primark, pom pom hairband Miss Selfridge.
Fit: These are quite narrow, I bought a size up. 4" heel.
Comfort: Super comfy.

Day 757 - Miss Never Let A Man Help Her Off Her Throne
Shoes: Black patent heart peep toe Moschino Cheap & Chic
A really late post for me, as I've been out of the house all day. Unfortunately it was to the dental hospital again, nothing exciting! We did pop into Debenhams on the way back (spending money I sooo don't have) and I was absolutely shattered with all the standing and walking. I was almost dropping to the floor in pain-I was just desperate to sit down and get home. Of course it was one of those days when the bus was late, it started raining, we had to change buses and the driver didn't drop us off directly at the stop, gah! So I was absolutely pooped by the time we got back. I also managed to put my entire hand (not just a finger) through these tights this morning (new on as well). I did my trick of putting a pair of pants over the top and actually they were more comfortable than if they hadn't ripped (my bum and hips had room!). I absolutely LOVE this entire outfit, this dress is killer. It's perhaps a tad too long as is, but I love that it lifts my bust and shows my waist as all too often dresses go boobs then hips on me! This is the outfit I had in mind when I ordered these shoes, I just knew they would look so pretty together. The pearl collar, I ended up not wearing. It started to annoy me and I thought it would get in the way at the dentist. Phew, long post, leave you with pics including me slumped on any chair I could find in the shop! Oh and the hair is growing on me today x
Wearing: Heart print Betty dress Clements Ribeiro Swan, heart tights Primark, belt taken from another dress, bag Gossipi, pearl collar necklace Primark, turquoise ring my Granny's, pearl ring gift, large ring Topshop, bag Gossipi.
Fit: 4 1/4" heel, a little generous in the heel.
Comfort: No issues with these and easy to walk in.
