Category Archives: Shoeperwoman’s ShoesNew Shoes! Miss Selfridge grey spotty ‘Polly’ platforms
I know, I know… But seriously: it was pretty obvious I was going to be getting more of these, wasn’t it? I’d actually gone into the store with my heart set on finding a red pair, but they didn’t have any: not even a pair of size 9s that I could’ve wept over, thinking, “so near, but so far!” I was almost able to say exactly the same thing about these ones, too, though: they were the only pair of size 4s in the store, and naturally I found them only after picking up and examining every single other pair they had. When I finally unearthed these ones, I rushed them to the till… only for the sales girl to notice that I had one size four and one size 5. It’s a good job she did notice too, because, well, let’s just say it wouldn’t have been the first time I’d walked out of a store with two differently sized shoes. Anyway, I’d love to be able to say I’ve had my fill of Miss Selfridge’s platform bow shoes now, but I think you all know me well enough by now to know I’ll probably continue to stalk the red ones indefinitely. Click here if you want to join me, or here if you fancy a pair of the grey ones.

Most wanted from our sponsorsShoeper Shoe Challenge # 46: Non-Casual Sunday
What: Charlotte Russe herringbone peep toes I had to take a rain-check on Non-Casual Friday this week: I was struck down with a migraine on Friday afternoon, which meant that getting dressed up (or, indeed, doing anything other than lying on the bed feeling sorry for myself) was the last thing on my mind. I managed to make up for it on Sunday, though. This outfit is another DIY, and, like my dress-to-skirt outfit from last week, is the result of an eBay purchase that didn’t quite work out. Actually, this outfit is pretty much the exact opposite of that one, because whereas last week I took a dress and wore it as a skirt, this time the green top you can see is actually a dress, too. This one arrived from eBay last week (can you tell I’ve been spending a lot of time on eBay lately? This is what happens when I try to save money…), and while I loved the top half, the skirt was both too big in the waist, and a little too frilly for my tastes. Because I loved the colour and fabric so much, I was going to just wear it anyway, but as I stood looking at it and thinking how much better it would be as a top, it suddenly occurred to me that there was nothing stopping me just wearing it as a top. So I pulled this black pencil skirt on over it, and ended up with a much more wearable outfit, although I may well wear the dress the way it’s supposed to be worn one of these days, if it’s ever warm enough! New Shoes! Miss Selfridge black bow platformsIt was payday this week in the Shoeper household, so naturally I rushed straight out and bought a new pair of shoes. I actually hadn’t intended to buy shoes at all. Well, not that day, anyway. Nope, I’d really just gone out to buy a new bottle of shampoo. But there’s a Debenhams right around the corner from the Boots I was buying my shampoo in, and there’s a Miss Selfridge concession right at the front door of that Debenhams. And as soon as I laid eyes on these shoes, well, I knew they’d be coming home with me. Shoeper Shoe Challenge # 45: Summer’s Last Stand
What: New Look tan slingbacks I had pretty much resigned myself to the idea of letting my toes freeze this week in order to get some of my more summery shoes through the challenge, but much to my amazement, the sun made a very welcome return today, so of course we grabbed the opportunity to get out and enjoy it while we still can! Ruby Shoesday # 15: Back to Black
If I look a little bit sad in these photos, well, that’s because I am. Winter arrived here almost overnight this week, which means that: a) I need to either freeze in my sandals, or lose them under the terms of the Shoe Challenge. b) This is probably my last chance to wear my beloved red Louboutins, for a while at least. (Although, hey, there’s always Non-Casual Friday! And central heating!) Also: I really need to seek out some new ruby shoes for winter. I do have four pairs of cold-weather-appropriate red shoes, but two are pairs that I hardly ever wear, and as we now have approximately 11 months of winter ahead of us, that’s a LOT of Tuesdays on which to rotate the same two pairs of shoes. (Not that it stopped me wearing these ones all summer, mind you…) Saturday Shoe Shot: Matchy matchy
This week’s Saturday Shoe Shot comes complete with bonus outfit shot, purely because I couldn’t resist showing you this cute little cherry jacket I found on eBay, to go with my cherry shoes. Lookit! Shoeper Shoe Challenge # 44: Dress to skirt in two easy moves
What: Faith Lecloud peeptoes For this week’s Non-Casual Friday, I present the amazing Skirt-That-Is-Also-a-Dress. Specifically, it’s one of the two dresses I thrifted in Edinburgh this month, and when I found it, it looked like this: Shoeper Shoe Challenge # 43: Thrift store shoesWhat: Black and white polka dot wedges (thrift store) The kids around here went back to school yesterday, which is a sure sign for me that the summer is drawing to a close. It’s also a good sign that I really need to get a move on and wear all of those remaining sandals and other summery shoes before I run out of time. If there are suddenly a lot more Shoe Challenge posts than usual around here, then, don’t say I didn’t warn you… |
