Day 1251 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Booyah | Irregular Choice 

I finally made it into the shoe room, emptied the overspill and photographed a few recent new pairs for you, so there's lots to look forward to in the coming weeks.  I thought I'd choose something very different (for me) today, after something a little more regular, Odette swan heels, last week.  These sandals/trainers/platforms/flatforms? launched last Spring/Summer and I liked them right away, even although they are far from my usual style.  I'm a sucker for fur, it must be that! 

Day 1246 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Teddy Toes | Irregular Choice 

Last week I shared my polar bear sliders from SS19 and today I'm going back another couple of years to SS17. This style came in 3 colours, each with a separate name, as they were slightly different. The mint pair with short ears and pompom tail, resembling a bear are Teddy Toes. The pink with longer ears and pompom tail are Cream Puff, resembling a bunny and then the black pointed ears with longer, thinner tail are Kitty Paws, a cat.

Day 1245 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Arctic Slide | Irregular Choice 

Another oldie for you this week and something a bit different from my usual heels.  Last time, I posted my fit review of the Glazed & Confused platforms from SS19, coincidentally the pair today are also from that season.  These were part of the Family Reunion collection, celebrating 20 years of Irregular Choice.  That collection (I've stated before), is one of my favourites and remains so-I can't think of another since, that's had me as enthralled. 

Day 1242 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Pooch Perfect | Irregular Choice 

I finally get to share this pair with you as it's my birthday this week and Mum said she'd give me these boots (after I ordered them last month), so although they've been in my possession, I haven't wanted to wear them before now. Last week, I posted the heavily embellished Garden Gala-it seems I've been buying ankle boots a lot lately!

Day 1232 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Daisy Dreams | Irregular Choice 

When I spoke last week about having to compromise on certain aspects of footwear these days, these boots immediately sprung to mind.  Daisy Dreams launched for SS19 and while I instantly loved the theme and colours, the heel height was really off-putting for me.  With such a large platform, it essentially takes the heel down to a very small 2 1/4", which means your foot is almost flat inside.  It's nowhere near the elevation my feet are accustomed to. 

Day 1230 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Lapin | Irregular Choice 

Another archive style that I've never  reviewed here before.  Lapin came out in AW19 and I bought them straight away (they also came in black).  There's no way I was missing out on these, they're beautiful and you know how much I love a boot. 

Day 1228 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Pooch Perfect | Irregular Choice

 

These were another sale purchase recently, which I've had my eye on since they launched.  Remember the dog heeled Bougainvillea a couple of weeks back? They were from the same collection and if these boots had the doggy heel, they'd have been perfect for me.  The heel here is a little boring, but the shoe uppers weren't that exciting , so the combination of the two would've been perfect. 

Day 1217 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Baby Bear | Irregular Choice 

I'm late in posting today as I've spent the last 2 days sorting through old folders on my laptop to properly organise all the styles I still have to share here.  It makes sense with the darker days, to rely on old photos rather than taking new ones (why am I giving myself more work when I don't need to?) and I've been quite tired these past few weeks, so it's really been a weight off my mind to know I don't have to locate shoes, try them on, photograph them and empty the mess in the shoe room in the process!  There's a lot of photos still...like, a lot more than I thought, so we're grand for a good wee while, despite my lack of shoe buying this year. 

Day 1216 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Slummber Party | Irregular Choice 

Another archive style for you today, with these ankle boots from AW17. I was so torn with which colour to buy back then. They came in pink and black as well as this blue and I know I usually go for blue or green, but I was genuinely tempted with the others, especially the pink.

Day 1215 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Bobs Ur Uncle | Irregular Choice 

An oldie for you today and old photos too, that I haven't yet shown here. I usually take pictures at the weekend, but this week, I just felt so drained. I kept contemplating going into the shoe room and then remembered the piles of shoe boxes I always have to move and decided against it! I have loads of styles I haven't yet fit-reviewed here anyway and many I've already photographed for other posts or social media, so I suppose I can use them and stop making life difficult for myself. I'm also going through my annual shock at how little daylight there is at this time of year and how quickly it gets dark. Why does it surprise me every time?! So it's maybe better I use up old photos during these months and pray for a few hours of light if I buy anything new!

Day 1212 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Green fluffy, furry courts | Dolce & Gabbana 

I buckled and bought these crazy shoes!  I mentioned them when I bought my leopard print fluffy courts, but honestly I've tried to resist these for over a year now.  Originally from AW18, they kept showing up on TK Maxx and I repeatedly had to talk myself out of buying them.  When they appeared a month or so ago, again, I kept an eye on them and decided when my size went down to low stock I'd buy them...of course, they sold out didn't they? I was really disappointed, then randomly checked one day to find there was one pair, in my size!  What will be, will be, so they say.  

Day 1209 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Everyone Loves You | Irregular Choice x Sanrio 

Here's the final pair from my Sanrio Irregular Choice order a few weeks back.  The pair we saw in previews, that I was sure I wanted and when they arrived, sure I wanted to keep. 

Day 1204 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes:  Furry leopard print courts | Dolce & Gabbana

Yay, I eventually bought myself some birthday shoes!  My b'day was back in May, but I hadn't seen anything at the time and I wasn't going to buy something just for the sake of my wee tradition.  I'd rather wait until something special appeared.  I'd actually seen these elsewhere, about three times the price I bought them for and even that would be significantly cheaper than the original retail price.  I've also seen them in black and white zebra stripes or a plain blush pink, but leopard was my favourite, so I was so excited to find them. 

Day 1172 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Advent Adventures | Irregular Choice

Look what arrived today, just in time for opening!  Let me start by saying the Christmas collection this year from Irregular Choice is literally jaw-dropping.  The light up fabric we were introduced to in the Space Station collection features, the Santa heel is back (yay) and glittery, there's musical heels, paint your own Santa heel and these, advent calendar boots.  If you can't think it up, IC will! 

Day 1170 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Grin And Share It | Irregular Choice (Care Bears) 

Another Care Bear style to review for you this week and a brand new character heel.  We saw two different heel concepts in this collection; the sleeping bear on the crescent moon (in green or glitter) and then two variations of these bear heels.  Each shoe has a different bear, this pair; Cheer Bear (pink) and Tenderheart Bear (brown) and both uppers are also different.  Cheer Bear sits on the green, Good Luck Bear upper (I had this one when I was younger) and Tenderheart is on the Grumpy Bear blue upper.  The fur fabric is beautifully soft, a short pile, but really lovely to touch and there's lots of embellishments and embroidery and little sticky-up ears and even tails out the back. 

Day 1169 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Full Of Cheer | Irregular Choice (Care Bears) 

Another Care Bear style for you this week from the recent Irregular Choice launch. These boots, like the Kingdom Of Caring shoes last time, were one of the few items we saw previewed before release and I knew I definitely wanted them.

Day 1166 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Irregular Choice Heavens Above 

I was planning on posting my fit review of these weeks ago, but stuff kept getting in the way. I finally got the post finished tonight though, also managed to squeeze in taking photos of the other lightning bolt pair I bought, so I'll aim for those next week. I've already written an in-depth review with loads of photos on Pink Haired Princess, so won't go into the style of these Heavens Above too much here, but this post is quite photo heavy, they're just so photogenic!

Day 1158 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Irregular Choice The Kringles

What's this? Surely not a new blog post...yes, it is!  I think the last time I blogged here was in summer when I was going through all the Family Reunion collection from May.  It's been a bit of a tough year to manage blogging and everyday stuff, so unfortunately it's fallen by the wayside.  My poor wee blog has forgotten who I am!  I have been keeping up with the #365daysofIrregularChoice challenge on Instagram (well, not quite keeping up, but getting there), so if you're in need of a daily dose of shoe wearing, that's where to hit me up.  300+ items to ogle so far!  I'm realising that we're nearing the end of the year, so I can now grab all the good stuff that I was saving in the hope of getting to wear them for real, but instead I'll probably only be wearing my festive pairs outside now.  Which brings me to this post and I added another couple of pairs to my IC Christmas stash this year.  These are the pair I was most taken with, they are just so, so gorgeous, even better in the flesh than I was expecting.  Last year we were treated to the Ginger's House ankle boot and I really enjoyed having something slightly more casual to choose from.  I have 4 pairs of Santa heels, along with the snow globes from last year, so the boots in comparison were really 'wearable'.  This pair are a bit more, well a lot more glitzy, the gold sequins is dazzling.  Blindingly bright.  They flip to a less shiny silver on the other side if you so wish.  The red glitter parts actually have sporadic tiny gold stars in.  These stars are super pretty, but shed very easily.  I keep catching something glistening on the carpet and find it's another fallen star! 

Day 1154 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Irregular Choice black Kir Royal 

I'm realising throughout #365daysofIrregularChoice on Instagram that there's an awful lot of shoes I've had for a while that I've never posted fit reviews for here.  I can remember back to when I started my Shoesday Tuesday posts, as I'd been less able to get dressed and out of the house, so didn't have outfits to show here and I figured a time would come when I didn't have any fresh shoes to share either. That was the reason I kept it to once weekly, as any more than that and I might've run out.  Wow, why did I think so naively?!!  Do not fear, the posts will continue for a looong time!  Actually I rarely posted outfits last year, so still have those to share at some point too.  Ah the to-do list is another endless task.  Ok, back to the shoes and you may recall me buying these in mint, reviewed here in 2017.  Well I wasn't as enamoured with the black version to be honest, but the more I saw them, the more they grew on me.  I managed to get them in the sale and I should've sized down, because like the mint pair they are large.  Same deal, roomy all over, especially wide in the heel area.  Mine were sent missing the pearl straps, so I had to wait a while to get replacements from the factory.  Had it come down to it, they could've shared with the mint pair, but clipping and unclipping 4 sets of pearls would've become a bit tiresome. 

Day 1148 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes:  Irregular Choice Zodiac

The second I saw these boots online, it was a "need" moment for me.  I hadn't bought any of the planet boots earlier in the year that are similarly shaped.  I'd been slightly put off by the lower heel and they just didn't excite-excite me, but whenever I saw these, I was glad I waited as they are much more me.  Yeah they have that same lower end of 'high' block heel, but hey if you throw rainbow fur and glitter at it, I can overlook that!  Although I was desperate for them, I had no money, so kept an eye on them, then panicked when they only had one pair left in my size.  My Mum loved them too, so was willing to lend me money in the meantime (always a bonus if she likes them)!
