Well, as predicted (by me), I went back to Matalan and bought the red canvas wedges I wrote about a couple of weeks ago.  And which turned out to be £12, not the £8 I originally thought they were. Ah, well.

I actually bought these as a pair of cheap shoes I can wear on holiday and not care if they get ruined, but then I also took delivery of this little Criminal Damage Sailor dress, so I thought I may as well just nautical it up, because, no, I’m still not over that, apparently.

Anyway, the shoes are super-comfortable: I love wedges for holidays because they give me a bit of height but are almost as easy to walk in as flats. These ones come up really small, so I had to go down a size: I’m normally a UK 4, but had to buy the size 3, which fit perfectly. And given that they were only £12, and the dress only £10, I have an outfit for £22: bargain!
