Ice skating lessons

Day 30:
Patent flats from H&M 

I can't believe I've made it to a month. That's 30 pairs of shoes blogged and I haven't even scratched the surface. I definitely have a shoe problem. 

Today's flats could be mistaken for ice skates as I slipped on them several times. The heel has gone on the left one and of course me being me hasn't bothered replacing them so they have become rather slippery. In other words many of my shoes are in breech of health and safety and these are going to get filed in the bin. Sorry shoes but I like my knees to be un-grazed and I feel like when I wear you i'm 5 minutes away embarrassment. Falling over is so 2 weeks ago.

These don't count.

Day 29:
Trainers 

These don't count amongst my shoe collection so that makes today a non-shoe day. A day of feet rest if you will. I ran a 10k this morning hence the trainers. The rest of the day has been spent on the sofa watching tv, just what Sunday's are made for.

I need to put my feet on a diet

Day 28:
Green vintage flats. 

These shoes don't actually fit me but I love them too much to get rid of them so I continue to allow them to attack my feet. I then remember how much they hurt put them back under my bed and attempt to wear them 3 months later in the hope that my feet might have lost weight. 

Today I'm wearing them with the biggest dark circles ever. Going out Wednesday, Thursday and Friday has finally caught up with me. There are some serious bags under my green Irish eyes and they are full to the brim of tiredness.

When the cats away...

Day 27:
Kitty cat ballet flats from I don't have a clue...the t'internet. 

I bought these after I had quickly realised that I could never afford the original Charlotte Olympia ones. I've probably only worn them a few times and the sole had already split so I will be thowing them away after this challenge is over. Maybe I'll then treat myself to original ones? I'll just need to find myself a spare £400. A very difficult thing to do when you have a vintage clothes addiction and appreciation for white wine. 

Off out tonight for few hair of the dogs. I hope the kitty kats don't mind the dogs. We wouldn't want them fighting like cat and dog!

I'll be at the (T) bar if anyone needs me.

The Day 25:
T-bar patent heels from Boohoo. 

These heels had very pretty bows on the them when I bought them but one fell off so I had to take the other one off and do a quick cover up job with some black marker. I'm off to Soho house tonight for an Xmas party so felt these deserved a night on the tiles. Of course they are paired with a vintage dress. That's just default.

Non-wedges day....probably forever

Day 24:
Cross strap heels from New Look

Now these heels nearly got the chop a year ago and were literally about to go to the charity shop when I suddenly realised that I still needed them in my life. I rescued them from a life Unknown. I think they are better of with my even though they do hurt my feet somewhat. 

I'm wearing them with lashes of mascara and very chapped lips. 

Normally today would be wedgenesday but after last weeks fall I thought it best to keep my distance from wedges until both my knee and pride clear up. I don't want a repeat of arse over tit before 8am. It'll be back one day but only when I get my wedge confidence back. Those wedges are like a shoe equivalent of a horror film. The only difference being they are scary both with the light on and I darkeness. You win wedges everytime.

Stud muffin

Day 23:
Nude studded brogues from River Island. 

Happy 1st December AKA party heel month. I'm not actually a huge fan of Christmas. I find the run up to it lots of fun, I like the parties naturally as I can wear all my crazy vintage gold, sequin and metallic finds with big heels and vintage fur coats. This year I have a fair few festive parties to attend which is the perfect opportunity to dig out those heels I never wear. Which brings me onto today's pair...

Of course I've had these for years, like much of my shoe collection I had them forever but never ever wear them. After today I think I will wear them more as I had forgotten how much I liked them. I do feel quite sorry for some of shoes as they've lived under my bed like little borrowers for years never actually seeing daylight. I'm sure they all have a vitamin C difficiencey. I'm effectively giving them a holiday (only 1 day though) after all the years of service they've given me. 

There is a lesson there, don't by shoes you'll never wear. What? Oh sorry I wasn't listening I was shoe shopping.
