Shoes: Flaming June | Irregular Choice 

Another archive set of photos for you this week after my Hot Shot teddies last time.  Flaming June are from SS17 and came in various colours.  I wanted the mint green the most (no surprise there), but ended up with the pink.  I much prefer cooler shades of pink and IC tend to make theirs very warm and peachy.

Shoes: Hot Shot | Irregular Choice 

An old pair of IC's for you today after my Charlotte Olympia glitter perspex heels last week.  Hot Shot were a style from SS11, which I found on eBay a few years later.  I was never very sure about this heel, mainly, was it too low for me?  It is quite, especially given the bigger platform which is half hidden and half  visible.  It takes the heel down to under 3", but they were such a good find I thought they were worth a try and I do really like them.

Shoes: Xena | Charlotte Olympia

Last week I shared my third pair of Poker Joker dice heels and today I'm switching it up to non-Irregular Choice.  I was really happy to get my hands on these Charlotte Olympia shoes from AW16, a couple of months back. 

Day 1258 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Ava's Aviary | Irregular Choice 

An oldie for you today as I've not been able to take new photos.  Last week, I reviewed my bargaintastic camo Quartz Order if you missed those.  We're heading way back to 2017 today with the birdcage heels.  I took these photos in 2019, so even they're old!  It's actually making me quite sad seeing these, as there's absolutely nothing of this level at IC for me now or lately.  For several seasons, I've been struggling to get excited about the styles, they're doing nothing for me.  Heels are low, colours and themes aren't my bag and shapes just aren't what they used to be.    

Day 1253 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Saturday Morning | Irregular Choice (Looney Tunes) 

I have another high heel for you this week, after my Vivienne Westwood tartan shoes last time. Irregular Choice just launched their Looney Tunes collection and loving this new character heel, I ordered a couple of pairs intending to keep just one (it came in this ankle boot or two colourways of a court shoe). The pair I have today are definitely my favourite of the two, so let's start with them. This style is exclusive to IC, so only available online from their website and from their Brighton store (the only one left in the UK currently). Firstly, I adore their name, "Saturday Morning", it brings back memories of watching cartoons when I was little with my sisters.  When I was 12 I started a paper round, so TV had to wait until I got home (I recall rushing home for The Legend Of Prince Valiant). Even as a kid though, I have to admit I got really frustrated with the continual chase and animosity between duos such as Tweety and Sylvester and Tom & Jerry, it tired me out!

Shoes: Vargas elevated | Vivienne Westwood 

If I threw you a curveball last week with the (almost) flat Irregular Choice Booyah, then you'll feel much more at home with these high heels and big platforms.  When I got these shoes last month, they immediately went onto my favourites list, I absolutely love them.  They'd been on my radar, but I hadn't been keeping a close eye on them until the sales started.  Luckily for me, the place that had them the cheapest and still in my size, made further reductions just days later, so there was no hesitation, I bought them right away.  They were the last pair and have since gone in most sizes elsewhere, so I was very lucky.  I actually own these on Stardoll and wear them a lot there, which was what made me look them up again.  It always makes me weirdly satisfied when my virtual me and the real me own the same clothes! 

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 1250 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Odette | Irregular Choice 

Another scorcher today, I've been struggling since I woke this morning, it's just so muggy.  The current weather warning ends here at midnight, so I'm hoping for a better sleep, but won't bet on it.  Once more I'm having to rely on old photos for this post and have just realised I didn't have any of the back view (I took these photos back in 2019 for the shoe challenge on Instagram, so wasn't intending them to be used for my fit reviews here) and I wanted to familiarise myself with the sizing, but although I know where the shoes are, I can't reach them.  In this heat, I'm refusing to exert myself, so I won't be moving boxes around the shoe room.  I'll update this post once I reach them, if anything changes, but I think I remember the sizing.  Last week, I posted the very old Shimmy Pom Pom if you missed that. 

Day 1247 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Rosie Posy | Irregular Choice (Rosanna Gault) 

Like Teddy Toes last week, my shoes today are also from SS17.  Back in 2010, Irregular Choice collaborated with the London College Of Fashion, where Rosanna Gault and So Yeon Sarah had their designs made, in a very limited collection.  Rosanna was asked to rework her cut-out heart heel and floating platforms for SS17, where we were treated to 6 more variations.  I ended up with 5 of those, some of which I've not yet shared here, though they all fit similarly. 

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 1244 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Glazed & Confused | Irregular Choice 

Another one from the archives for you today, see Barnacle Betty from last week if you missed those.  This week, ah, another pair I compromised on.  Story of my IC life these past few years.  I wish these had a higher heel.  Sorry, if you're tired of hearing me say it, I'm tired of never getting high enough heels to be honest!  It's actually rare to see genuine high heels at IC now.  They've never been one to follow trends (and actually high platforms and heels are in fashion right now), so if it's fallen out of favour, that shouldn't make a difference to IC.  Maybe I'm in the minority, I don't know, but I only bought these because they were cheap and I otherwise liked the design, but I'm not a fan of my foot feeling almost flat inside. 

Day 1237 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Hop To It | Irregular Choice 

I've overdone it this past week (making a 40th birthday card for my sister), so the new shoes I'd hoped to show you, will have to wait another week.  I bought Hop To It, back when they launched in Spring 2018.  The photos are from a year later, when I was doing #365daysofIrregularChoice on Instagram and I have to say my feet have clearly grown since. 

Day 1236 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Pixie Dust | Irregular Choice 

A right oldie for you today. These super high platforms debuted for AW13 with various uppers. Marble Moose, Toffee Splatter and Antonella, I've shown here before. Tic Tac Toe, I've never owned (they seriously grew on me, I wish I did have them) and I don't know why Pixie Dust haven't appeared here until now, as I've had them all this time. They also came in green, I don't think there was a big enough contrast between the two to justify owning both. MM however came in three very different colourways that I'd happily buy all of!

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 1231 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Carni Val | Irregular Choice 

Today I've been thinking about some of my all-time favourite IC styles, having shown you a couple lately (the bunny Lapin boots last week and Smitten Kitten from the amazing Family Reunion collection) and the pair I'm showing you today are definitely up there. The heel-less wedge is one of my favourite heel shapes and probably the one that raises most questions. It confuses people for sure! I've said it with all my other styles and I'll say it again, you honestly don't feel any different to wearing a regular wedge heeled shoe. Yes, your foot is completely supported, no, they aren't difficult to walk in and no, you don't need to adapt your style of walking in any way.  You truly forget there isn't a regular heel there.  

Day 1223 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Tropical Minnie | Irregular Choice x Disney (Mickey & Friends)

A return to the archive photos today as my back has been sore so I was unable to stand to photograph my new(er) Wizard Of Oz shoes.  It's also been pretty dark lately...I've given up trying to predict the weather right now, it's so changeable from day to day and throughout each day.  Unlike most places, we've missed the snow so far though. 

Day 1220 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Eres Hermosa | Irregular Choice 

I had hoped to show you something from the new Irregular Choice Christmas collection that launched last Friday.  However my order was supposed to arrive on Saturday, but due to an error, didn't come until today, so I've had to change plans to an older style and very non-Christmassy I might add! 

Day 1219 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Queenie | Irregular Choice 

Back to the archive styles today and you'll likely recall I went crazy for this heel shape when it was released in 2017. I originally bought the mint Kir Royal and Tatsu ankle boot, going on to buy the black KR and then this style, Queenie, in pink and black. Neither colour I've shared here before, so here's the pink version, though it's more a dusky, mauve type shade to me in real life.

Day 1218 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Wish Magic | Irregular Choice 

New pair of shoes incoming! It's been a while since I've had a new season/new style from IC, but these wand heels from their Magic Sceptre collection that launched last week, really spoke to me. First though, I have to apologise that the photos aren't the best. The first pair of tights I wore were a disaster when it came to editing (I suspected as much and should've trusted my instincts, but you never know for sure until you've started resizing them online), so I had to reshoot the whole lot. By then, the sun was shining and creating all sorts of brightness and shadows and my phone wasn't positioned as well as the first time and chopped off the bottom of the shoes, so I had to try for a third time...I was beat by this point!  I've salvaged what I can, albeit with shadows and Casper legs, but I've covered all angles as usual.

Day 1214 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Edina | Irregular Choice 

Although I bought these a couple of years ago, they are actually from Irregular Choice's AW12 collection, so quite an age now.  They feature this interesting layered, wooden heel, which is the only pair I have in this shape.  I miss these days, when higher, but still manageable, heel heights were in abundance.  I guess I'm in the minority as almost everything now is a mid heel height.
