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…)
On the bright side, of course, tracking down shoes is exactly the kind of “problem” I enjoy, so I’m sure I’ll have fun hunting down some new red heels. I mean, any excuse for shoe shopping, right?
See? Smiling already…
Great shoes, even greater skirt. You always dress so fantastically well 😀
Thanks, Steph, that’s really nice of you to say 🙂
I’m really glad that your amazing Louboutins were a great investment! They are really fantastic! As for more red shoes, you have my thumbs up!
Mmhhh… just a question, did you lose weight or was it just an impression because of the black outfit? Well, never mind: as you said, winter is there… with chocolate, pizza, pasta, all to make cold nights warmer! 🙂
No, I don’t think so – maybe just the black outfit?
I guess so, then, that’s why I said it could be the color and so it was! Anyway, always classy!
I agree with Steph. I love your style. You’re always so classy and put together!
Thanks so much – I don’t often feel very put together, so that’s a great compliment!
You look lovely as always. I’m thinking you need red boots for winter.
I couldn’t put my finger on it, but I knew something was different about your makeup in this post. After reading Hey Dollface, is it the eyeshadow? If so, it’s definitely working for you!
Well, the Dollface photos were taken at the same time, so maybe that’s it…
I’m totally stalking these shoes. I love them and just found a pair on ebay in my size and the color I want – the big question I have is: you only seem to be pictured wearing them inside. Is there a reason for that? I’m considering wearing them to an outdoor wedding, figuring that it’s flats or wedges and I hate wearing flats with dresses…so wedges it is. Do you think they’d be a disaster on grass and/or uneven terrain? I love high heels and wear them regularly, but am not as experienced with the wedge….and would hate to break my ankle. Any input on this would be mucho appreciated!

There are lots of photos of me wearing them outside here:

The indoor pictures are just because it’s sometimes more convenient to snap one before I leave than to lug the camera around everywhere!
Phew! I guess I wasn’t looking hard enough….that’s such a playful, fun shoot! Are the bottoms totally shot? I’m super into the shoes, but destroying the red sole in 4 minutes flat gives me pause.
They’re actually not too bad – I find they tend to wear off in a kind of horseshoe shape, which has started to happen to these. You can get them repainted, or buy rubber soles for them, but I’ve never bothered because the colour of the sole doesn’t really bother me 🙂
