my shoes

i’ve never been much of a shoes person. at school, having the “right” shoes was simply a must. shoes (and bags) were scrutinised very carefully, probably because they were the only things that weren’t part of the uniform. even then, i’d buy the latest shoes without much interest.

even after school, i found shopping for shoes a hassle. after all, i never really notice what someone has on their feet, so i assumed noone else did either. i owned one pair of black boots and one pair of low heeled sensible sandals to go with my asian outfits.

but now i’m beginning to take a bit more of an an interest, although i still wouldn’t call myself a shoe fanatic! here are so of the advantages and disadvantages to the footwear i own..

i have my sensible ankle length boots for every day wear, especially if i know i need to do a lot of walking- i simply cannot stand having sore feet. i don’t know how some women do it! these are so comfy and convenient to wear.

but i love my pumps even more. they are so easy to slip on and off but they don’t work in autumn/winter. i would know because i ‘ve been stupid enough to try it and ended up with wet feet!

riding boots are perfect for winter because they are sooo warm and comfy and i’ve found these one slip on and off quite easily.they are also perfect for wearing underneath long skirts/abayas

i bought these because i’m going through a heel phase, but don’t really feel comfortable wearing them. they make me walk all wrong and take forever to take off, which is annoying if you have to take them off during the day.

i bought these and then returned them because there would be no way i could walk in them so wouldn’t get much use out of them. i just really need a pair of high heeled shows though, it would be so much more convenient if i was taller than some of the six foot boys.

and finally, i don’t actually have these, but i’m debating whether to get them, they’re so pretty. the only time i really dress up though is to go to all girl parities, which are usually at someone’s house so i take my shoes off anyway. i have a similar pair to these in black though, and i just like looking at them, so i might just get them to do that!

whilst we’re on the subject of fashion, i need a new coat. i’ve been freezing to death all winter because i’m so picky when it comes to coats. i wanted a tan one, and they’re just nowhere to be seen. i found this one from Next but it didn’t suit me when i tried it on:( i’ve been making do with cardigans and blazers instead. i love the blazers from Principles, they help me to feel all grown up and look my age:) i might get this one.

i have to shop in the petite section for some bizarre reason, but usually get it two sizes too big (any bigger and the sleeves are too big!)

i also like these drape cardigans from Oasis. i have this in brown but might get this one too

as you can see i wear mainly black.browns and greys. i’m boring like that!but i do like adding some colour through bandanas and brooches. and i’ve just discovered two new blogs i like the look of.. which i now can’t seem to link to for some reason:( i’ve added them to my blogroll, check them out)
