Shoes: Vivienne Westwood for Melissa Lady Dargon shoes in pink glitter (c/o Sarenza)
Saved: Throughout August and September 2011
I feel like I’ve let these shoes down.
They’re such pretty, pink sparkly things that they really deserve to be worn with some fairytale concoction of a dress: some frothy, frivolous thing that would do the shoes justice. Alas, however, not only does my lifestyle not produce much of a need for fairytale party dresses, I fear the time for bare legs has now passed, so every time I’ve worn these since I got them, it’s been with some boring combination of jeans and tops. Such is life.
I’ve actually worn these a fair bit in the few weeks I’ve owned them, the most recent occasion being this Friday, when I wore them with … jeans and a top. The winter rot has already set in, people. I haven’t even switched over my wardrobe yet, and already I’m bored to death with winter fashion: this does NOT bode well for the rest of the year!
Still, at least I know one thing: I’ll have no problems “saving” these next year, when the warmer weather finally arrives. In the short time I’ve owned them, they’ve quickly become one of my favourite pairs of shoes, so while I didn’t get a chance to wear them with a suitably fabulous outfit this year, there’s always next summer!
And in the meantime, they make some pretty good eye candy!
I know that you changed the rules, but I confess I’ll miss you wearing your great outfits! Anyway, these shoes now are really a jewel, sooo sweet, pink glitter and that shiny heart! I bet whatever you wore was far from boring, you never wear boring things!
I agree. I bet the outfit was wonderful! And I too will be missing the wonderful pics of all your great outfit / shoe pairings.

Totally love the styling of these photos 🙂 I think these are my favourite of your Lady Dragon shoes.
I also have a lack of occasions to wear fancy dresses to, which is why I end up wearing most of mine to work and being terribly overdressed! I have these shoes too, and I plan to wear them with a pink lace dress to the horse races, if I ever manage to organize going there.
I’ll miss your outfit photos too, although I can understand why you might not want to post so many anymore, with people stealing your pictures 🙁 I admire you for always managing to look stylish, even when you are wearing something simple like jeans.
Thanks for the comments, everyone: I can’t wait to wear these next summer with something that will do them justice 🙂
is you not putting outfit photos on a permanent thing?
I actually wrote an explanation of how it will work now on Friday:

Is there anyway of finding a pair of these to buy? I am desperately looking for a US size 5 (UK size 4) for my wedding. Can anyone suggest where I can find these?
