Day 825 - Walk Away Until You're Not Standing At My Door


Shoes: Black panda 'Endangered' Irregular Choice 

Hola! How are you all today? I thought I'd wear my lovely panda wedges today after being reminded of them a couple of days ago. I'm generally getting a bit frustrated clothes and shoes wise as I have sooo much of both but find myself wearing the same things. Mostly it's down to those items being the most accessible and I really don't have the will to move 50 shoe boxes out of the way to allocate one pair! Today I changed my outfit after my Mum texted to say "it's freezing outside" and I actually felt more comfortable in this dress, leggings and boots. And I was cosy, thanks Mum!

Wearing: Moon & star dress H By Henry Holland, black leggings and coat Primark, socks Kurt Geiger.
Fit: Relatively snug fit with high instep so I took a larger size. Heel 5 1/2" with 1 3/4" platform.
Comfort: No problems with these and pretty easy to walk in.

Day 763 - So I Figure I'm Alone Now, Alienated Everyone

Shoes: Black panda 'Endangered' Irregular Choice 

Hello! Here's my outfit from Saturday.  I wasn't quite sure what to pair with these boots because I didn't want to detract from their fabulous-ness!  I also didn't really want an all-black outfit either.  I felt quite 'safe' in them, my first time wearing them.  You rock a little, but the base is relatively stable.  They are heavy though, so your legs can feel that!

Wearing: Printed dress Cutie, black leggings Primark, cardigan Bonmarche, belt taken from another dress.
Fit: Relatively snug fit with high instep so I took a larger size.
Heel 5 1/2" with 1 3/4" platform.
Comfort: The tops could possibly rub at the sides, although I had leggings on, so they were fine.

Day 725 - Not Tryin' To Sound Conceited But Me & You Were Meant To Be

Shoes: Pink satin, crystal & cherry print 'Rema' River Island 

I didn't intend this outfit to be very twee, but that's kinda what happened. I found these shoes yesterday when I was looking for the Kurt Geiger pair. I haven't worn them for ages and decided they should be the starting point for my outfit today. I had a quick browse of my bulging wardrobe and this dress just stuck out  and I figured it was one of the few opportunities I would get to wear it before winter. As someone who loves pink, I tend not to wear very much of it and certainly not an entire outfit, but I ended up loving this look. I added the black cardi and belt to break it up a little and there is black within both prints (on the shoes and dress), plus the addition of the grey underskirt added another element. I was going to wear little grey socks with it, but thought it looked better without. This dress was on my wishlist for ages because of that adorable print, but I couldn't justify buying it at full-price.  I eventually got it half price and it fits me perfectly, actually it may be the only sleeveless dress I own that fits around the armholes (big boobs and not big arms, always means I end up with gaping armholes).  It's maybe a bit 'dressed up' considering I only went along the road and back again for my walk, but overdressed is my style!

Wearing:  Birdcage dress South at Very, belt taken from another dress, bow cardigan New Look, grey net underskirt Primark, Mischief sunglasses Irregular Choice.
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 591 - Dance 'Til You're Dead

Shoes: 'Face Up To It' Killdoll at Office

Hello chickadees, how's your week going so far?  I suspected I hadn't worn these boots for ages and a quick check reveals it was January 2011 and February 2010 before that!  So I thought I'd pop them on today for little change.  They are all cosy and soft inside and the heel is definitely on the low side for me, so altogether a very comfy wee boot.  The red gems worked well with my cherry print dress (one of my favourites).  I took another pic below if you don't already know the detail on the boot.  I always try and capture a different angle each time so the posts don't get too repetitive for you.

Wearing:  Cherry dress Red Herring at Debenhams, black leggings, cardi and hat all Primark.
Fit: Quite roomy, full length zip so you don't have to take the laces out. 3 3/4" heel.
Comfort: Very comfy, no problems.

Day Four Hundred & Forty Four - Cherry Pie

Shoes: Red rhinestone 'Glace Cherry' by Kandee

I haven't had these shoes for long, but the decision to sell them was relatively easy considering they were too tight and I knew that even one minute of wear would kill me! I tried them on again to take these photos yesterday though and realised they weren't as small as I once thought! Oh no! I absolutely adore them, they're even more gorgeous in the flesh-if that's possible because they do photograph well. However, how often will I wear them? And I spoke about the red thing before (note to self-try and avoid red shoes with this hair). They're the type of shoes you just want to look at and stroke, but hopefully they'll go to someone who will love them. The auction has just under 4 hours to go, so there's still time to bid! Stunning right?

Wearing: No outfit post.
Fit: A little narrow in the toe. 6 1/4" heel and 1 1/4" platform.
Comfort: I don't know becaue I haven't worn them for any length, but I would assume your legs will get a workout in these!

Day Four Hundred & Nine - Special Day

Shoes: Kandee Diamonds spike platforms

So this was my outfit yesterday! Decided to break out the big guns for Mothers Day! I must admit my walking was tentative, small and sloooow steps. The hotel had such a plush carpet that it was very uneven to walk on anyway, never mind the ridiculous heels. They are in general ok to walk in but it's the fear of the heel breaking that worries me, sometimes you think you've just stepped on it funny and it's going to buckle beneath you and I'd cry if that happened! By the end of the day, my feet were slipping forward because i was hot and this is where I would probably have been ok with my usual size, but I bought a size up because I was worried they wouldn't fit.

Wearing: I wore black eyeshadow (Urban Decay Perversion) and winged it out which I never do but the new hair encouraged it! I didn't get many decent outfit pics yesterday though, sorry. The black floral prom dress is from Matalan and has net underneath and a matching belt, worn with my bow cardi New Look, lilac and black flowers in hair a gift, fluffy fox ring and swan ring The Jewellery Box, Sindy In Paris handbag Helen Rochfort and pearls my Granny's.
Fit: You could probably just take your regular size in these, I bought a size up (not that you can buy these shoes now anyway, super exclusive only 60 pairs made)!! Are you ready? 6 1/4" heel and 1 1/2" platform!
Comfort: Ok I admit they aren't the easiest to walk in or most comfortable, more for sitting or 'short walk' events!
