New Shoes

I keep making empty promises about writing more often, but with my new job, planning interviews, revising Maths (yes I have to prove I can count… again,) Christmas shopping, seeing my horse, boyfriend, friends and family, I just simply haven’t had time. Truly, I would love to write more often, but I can’t do everything. Sad Face. 

I finally graduated on Friday and I happened to get paid on the same day, so in the midst of an existential crisis – uni finally ending for good and my job only being temporary, and feeling like I looked fat in my robes, I bought stuff.

No matter how fat you feel, there are two things that always look good -bags and shoes. So in Tesco with the boyfriend, I spotted some shoes and dragged him to look at the rest. It just so happened, that they were on sale so I bought two pairs.

Can you believe that both pairs of shoes only came to £12? They look so much more expensive than that and Florence and Fred  shoes are always good value for money.

Here they are up close, I finally got myself a pair of little block heels which were £7 and look fantastic with skinny jeans. The sparkly ones were even cheaper at £5 and both pairs are so comfortable! I love the slipper shape of the sparkly ones and they’re so festive. They also come in gold, but they didn’t have my size and for £5, I thought I might as well settle for black – They’ll go with more and be wearable for longer than the festive season anyway.

Left: Chunky mini heels, £7. Right, Sparkly slippers, £5

Striped top £14 -Primark, Jeans £19.99 New Look, Shoes on left £7 - Florence and Fred at Tesco, Shoes on right £5 - Florence and Fred at Tesco. Ignore my little belly - I need to go for a run!

I went to for an Indian with Clover tonight and decided on a striped jumper and dark blue skinnies so tried both pairs of shoes before I went. On the left are the block heels and I got a bit of a chic, French vibe from this outfit. Oui Oui! On the right are the sparkly slippers and just to go for an Indian and to share the festive sparkles with Clover, I wore these. They add quirky, attention grabbing detail to an otherwise simple outfit.

So there it is, two pairs of shoes, infinite new outfit and shoe combinations and only £12 of my precious wages gone on shoes. I even managed to pay my parents some of the money I owe for car repairs and order Clover’s Xmas present! Job well done.
