All of my shoes (and clothes, generally) have some form of a story attached to them. Which is why I never throw any of them away. Unless they’re well and truly dead. Most of the clothes I own end up with my 15 year old cousin so I can handle culling that, but shoes are a whole different kettle of fish. I think I like shoes and bags as much as I do because being someone who in no way has the shape of Kate Moss, it’s easy to find shoes and bags to fit. Currently working on the shape so hopefully soon the figure will come along…or go away and I’ll have a new clothes fetish too. But until then, it’s me, my dog and my shoes. So here are a couple of pairs of heels and boots that have a soft spot in my heart.
These black and gold glitter shoes are among my favourite pairs. They’re relatively comfortable. I can spend a whole night out in them and only mildly feel the pain the next day. I mostly like them because of how they make you feel when you’re wearing them. They’re my Cinderella shoes. They’re sparkly, have a neutral colour, perfect heel height, peep toe to show off your pedi…what more could you want?!
These shoes are just plain fun! They’re great for making a statement and I can wear them a million times with so many different accessories and outfits. The only thing is the toe is quite narrow so they’re a bit of a pain to walk in after a while. I have never been tempted to wear them out into town because I know they’ll just get ruined by alcohol and idiots stepping on my feet. They’re a great ice breaker. Everywhere I go when I wear them I get compliments from girls and guys like them to so they’re a win-win!
These are my favourite boots just because they’re comfy, the perfect height for wearing with jeans and they survived the trip to London with me. They kind of look a bit badass too, which is always a good thing.
These are just one of the many pairs of shoes I own that I’ve never worn. I’m not sure why I haven’t worn them. Maybe subconsciously I just don’t want them to be ruined. I’d say that’s probably it. One day I’ll wear them. Probably when I move somewhere that’s colder than hell. (34°C today?!!! Hotter than Hades, I tell you) I’d say Brisbane 2012 will be the perfect place to start wearing them. A place where the weather permits and where people appreciate clothes…and actually WEAR shoes most of the time. Bogans. Ugh.
Hopefully soon I’ll be able to get some photos of some that I have acquired lately. There are many more since I took these photos so I’ll have to have a little look later.
