It occurred to me yesterday that I’d totally forgotten to show you all the new shoes I bought just before Christmas, so here they are!
And yes, I KNOW. They’re bright pink. (Although not nearly as shiny as they look in these photos: the lack of daylight here in the winter meant they were impossible to photograph without a flash, and the flash adds a lot of shine.) They’re satin. They have a gigantic platform. They’re not exactly the most versatile shoes in the Shoeper closet. But they were on sale for £25 (They’re made by Dune, but I found them in TK Maxx, which has been a source of many a pair of shoes for me. If you’re in the US, you know it better as TJ Maxx.) and somehow I just couldn’t leave them behind.
“You know,” said Shoeperman, when he met me at the tills, “I walked past those shoes, looked at them and thought, ‘Amber’s going to want those.’” And it looks like he was right. Sometimes there’s just a giant, pink-satin platform shaped hole in your closet, isn’t there? Not any more, readers. Not any more…

I want your shoes! They are adorable. I love pink so I love these shoes. Oh, and the dress is also lovely.

Thanks! They’re not quite as pink as the flash makes them look here, but they’re still fairly bright: I don’t wear a lot of pink, but I do like these!

Love those shoes! And they go great with the tights.

Beautiful shoes. I’ve loved platforms like this years before they came into existence and I hope they never go away. Also, matching shoes with tights is awesome!

They are beautiful! I love hot pink. I have a pair of heels myself which are that same shade of pink, only they have black on the toes. I love pink, I can’t help it. It’s funny, I rarely wear colorful clothes but I LOVE colorful shoes.

Me too – I live in a town where everyone tends to dress very conservatively, so I find shoes are the perfect way to wear something that bit different without attracting weird comments all the time. (Just some of the time
)

Thanks for the comments, everyone! Now I just need to find an excuse to actually wear these. Anyone want to invite me to a party?!
