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)! 

Day 1147 - Well Way Up North Where The Air Gets Cold

Shoes: Irregular Choice Savan swan heels 

No Shoesday this week, as I've got a lot on, so haven't had time to shoot anything new.  Instead I have an outfit for you from last New Year...well this year, you know what I mean.  I think you saw my Christmas outfits, but I never got around to posting this one.  We spent it at home, as we'd been at my sister's for Christmas, so it was quiet and I hadn't planned my outfit at all.  I can get a bit jaded of the Christmas thing once it's over (I love the run-up), so I think this was me saying "no more Christmas shoes and red and green"! 

Day 1146 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Santas Globe Irregular Choice 

Sorry I'm a day late, it's been a busy week already and I was going to persevere last night at midnight and get this post finished, but my brain was frazzled. I knew the post was going to be quite picture heavy too, so I wanted to wait until I could see straight! So, another pair of Christmas shoes for you this week and Irregular Choice have really gone to town on their festive releases for 2018. Last week, it was light-up gingerbread ankle boots and this time, it's the amazing snow-globe heels. So we've just seen the carousel release where the horse was inside a glitter globe heel with liquid and this is similar. Instead of a Santa character heel, he's actually inside the heel.

Day 1145 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes: Ginger's House ankle boots Irregular Choice

I'm back with a brand new pair of boots for you this week.  Irregular Choice surprised us this season with lots of new festive themed footwear and something different from the usual Santa character heels.  Now you're going to laugh when I say this, but these ankle boots are a welcome Christmas shoe for me as they are more casual.  I know they are glittery, embellished, blah, blah, blah, but for me this is a casual, relaxed style, especially compared to the Santa heeled shoes that I'd consider as 'dressy'. It's also pretty much as low as I dare go in a heel.  I'm sure there are plenty people welcoming the deluge of low and mid heels right now, but I'm not one.  This season has without a doubt been all about those heels, true high heels have been few and far between and I've really not liked that!  I don't want 6" stiletto heels ALL the time, but I do appreciate a heel higher than the 3 1/2" on these.  That extra inch or even just a half inch would make all the difference to me.  I noted my legs looked chunkier than usual in these photos and I feel that's down to the lower heel, I'm just not a fan of the way mid heels or flats look on me and you know I can't walk very well in them either!  I know technically these are probably still considered a 'high' heel, but definitely the lowest in that category.  Anyhow, I've had to suck it up or else lose out on the gorgeous uppers altogether and sometimes (in this instance), I just didn't want to do that, so went ahead and bought them. 

Day 1144 - Shoesday Tuesday

Shoes:  I Give You...Dumbo! ankle boots, Irregular Choice Disney Dumbo

Hello! Feels nice, if a little strange, to get back into blogging after a week of doing nothing other than sleeping. I've been in so much pain lately and had another 48 hour migraine last week, which I quite honestly would've appreciated someone drilling a hole in my skull to release pressure, it hurt that much. Medication, sleep and rest did nothing to help, there was no escape and obviously blogging and the internet were the last things on my mind. I'm still trying to take it easy, thus this post has taken a little longer to write and I'm still a bit hesitant to get back into Instagram and Facebook. I also did a  bit of rearranging in the shoe room at the weekend, which nearly killed me, whilst sorting out some bits and pieces to sell on eBay (another thing I'm trying to get back into).  It's all been quite physically demanding and I'm pretty limited in that department these days.
