How vain are these shoes- they're checking themselves out in the mirror!!!

Loooooook what I caught my shoes doing last week!!!!!!!!!
 I could hear them saying, "I am so preeetty, I must admire myself in the mirror!"  Vain little things!
 I admired many pretty pairs of Irregular choice shoes in the sale, like these at Schuh but sadly, I just think they'd be too high for me- I can't get my foot at a certain angle and those innocuous-looking 9cm pretties are just too high I am afraid.

However, I admired this pair of shoes called "Bed of Roses Penelope"  back in maybe September- they were a LOW equivalent of the Patty shoe which I adored (Cath Kidston in shoe form!) but ALAS, WOE-WAS-ME, they did not have them left in my UK size 8 (42) foot size! I checked every website I could, pestered all manner of IC-wearing bloggers for inspiration to no avail.

So it was with alacrity that I found them on the Irregular choice website on Christmas eve- not in the sale sadly - but back in stock in my size!  (There are some really nice new shoes on the site!)
 I love the fact they are low but have the pretty, ubiquitous IC perspex heel
 They seem assymetric since one side if blue and the other pink!
 And pretty pink inards!
They're very comfortable and they're high enough to have that nice slimming-effect on the lower leg.

Do we forgive them for admiring themselves in the mirror!?!

You can tell I am lacking inspiration when resorting to old photos on my computer- camera lead has not turned up- the camera is fine but it's the lead that is AWOL!  Tis annoying!

How are you?

  4. Was it the blue ones you were eyeing up? They're rather lovely, I saw them in store but they didn't have my size. I've always been a bit dubious about some of IC's designs - the ice-cream ones are particularly crazy. Glad you got a new pair that work for you (no putting them on the table ;-) )

  9. Glad they're not being ostracized for their vanity! Thank you for your forgiveness bloggers! Lakota, yes, I liked the blue ones and the rainbow ones but yes, there are some that I think -WHAAAAT? Like the ones with two bits to the- they just scare me a bit and the ones with the scary doll hanging off them

  15. Going on a long, relaxing vacation usually involves taking lots of pictures, so you pack a camera bag with your gear and head out. Unfortunately, you sometimes find that packing a camera and gear for your vacation and actually toting them around and using them are two very different things.
