My first ever Polyvore ‘set’…
A Set = Fancy talk for bunch of stuff that looks like a magazine page!
So I’ve discovered polyvore.com – online fashion spread making – I heart! (Plenty of wasted hours ahead…)
So I decided I would make one for the latest shopping ventures, today for some clothes and Saturday for beauty courtesy of primped.com.au ‘s LOOK BOOK event.
And yes, I bought more shoes, the exact same pair as my red kitten heels, now in nude!
Ahh freedom…
The last 2 weeks I have been able to wear any shoes I want. What a change from the Shoesapalooza challenge where I felt every day’s outfit was dictated by my shoe choice!
And of course I’ve reverted to some old habits. Like not really thinking and just grabbing the same 2 pairs of black flats. Naughty, I know, I can hear you now like a patronising parent ‘hasn’t this experience taught you anything!’
I obviously have too many pairs of heels for a girl who wants to wear flats everyday to work. I am on my feet most of the day so comfy shoes are essential. But heels are so much more fun to buy! I will need to change this way of thinking. I have worn the red patent kitten heels twice this week, they are definitely going to become one of my favourite pairs of shoes, and are just the right kind of heel of me.
I’ve had some suggestions to do the same kind of challenge but with my many many handbags, or over 100 pairs of earrings, or my 30+ dresses and 30+ skirts.
Blogging fodder for the next 2 years maybe?!
Saturday – Boots from ‘The Strand’ Another London purchase, end of season boots for only 10 pounds! Bargain! Probably the tallest boots I have.
Sunday – Gladiator Sandals A ‘Personal Admin’ day of shopping etc, comfy jeans and sandals please! These are great for summer dresses when thongs are too casual and heels are too dressy.
DAY 30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Monday – Summer Sandals Well I made it! 30 pairs of shoes in 30 days. Incredible. But back to today’s pair. I would wear these about 3 times a week in summer to work, the classic black, flat sandals. Still a bit cool at the moment so these go great with wide black pants.
The following shoes were not worn during the 30 days, mostly heels. I realised that I must love buying heels, but wear flats a lot. So I promise to wear these heels in the next few weeks, nights out only.
Another pair didn’t get worn because they are too lose, so need to see the cobbler to tighten the straps, as I do love them.
Still more didn’t get worn as they only go with one or two items of clothing in my wardrobe (ok, ok, poor purchases I agree). Or I just am not that keen on them (yes yes, time to recycle) Or they’re more summer shoes and it’s just a bit cool right now.
And the sparkly Dorothy number? They are so special they are more like display items than wearables! A few weddings coming up, maybe I’ll wear them then ! 🙂
Saturday – Cork Wedges A day out and about called for these comfy heels, shame that the bottoms are wearing a bit. Re mixing the paisley top from dinner last night with a denim skirt and leggings, staying in the city means re mixing a few core items!
Sunday – More Red heels Clearly I am just a little obsessed with red shoes, Dorothy obsession aside. Just heading out for a BBQ so put on these little heels, perfect for days of not much walking… I love heels, but they are not the comfiest shoes to wear.
Monday – Skater Slides Off to camp today, so rocking super comfy flats for bus trip, high ropes course and bushwalking. These little delights were from Shelley’s in London, and are usually found in my soccer bag to put on when the boots come off!
Tuesday – Channelling Giselle I bought these Ipanema flip flops / sandals in a dodgy shoe shop in London’s East Ham back in 07. Way before Gieselle was the face of Ipanema, I think they were a bootleg pair, found in a plain box and only 10 quid! For 6 weeks trekking around Eastern Europe they were perfect for night to day backpacker elegance. Today, they are going kayaking!
Wednesday – Sneakers today, last day of camp. Back to Shoesapalooza tomorrow! Day 26!
Thursday – Sensible flats Sometimes I feel like these are like those sensible shoes you buy at chemists. My mum has several pairs. Despite their comfy appearance, they seem to drag and stick a bit, and I have been spotted almost tripping a few times whilst wearing them.
Friday – Pink Cowgirl Boots I bought these in Amsterdam in 2005 for 100 euros, and love them! They always get good feedback too!
