Topshop Jersey Dress, Miu Miu Leopard Heels, Reality Street Book of Sonnets, Kurt Geiger Pink Brogues, MAC Lady Danger Lipstick
Today's Wednesday Wishes is pretty hasty because I completely forgot I'd committed to this feature in all honesty. I've had a chest infection / flu type thing this past week, which still doesn't appear to want to vacate residence from me any time soon, so I'm all out with blogging and posting etc.
Feeling a bit better today, I ventured into Manchester wearing my new experiment : flat shoes. I know that doesn't sound all too adventurous to those of you who are accustomed to the humble heel less shoe, but for me, patron of the stiletto, it was a big thing in terms of those sartorial decisions we make every day.
To be fair, I didn't really treat myself to the best representatives of flats. I begrudgingly spent £4 on a pair of Primark leopard print pumps. I pretty much had to be taken kicking my heeled feet all the way to the till. I also bought a pair of Primark brogues (I really splashed out, didn't I!), which I've already hidden at the bottom of my wardrobe. Yet I went to uni with optimism in my little leopard pumps, happily thinking that I would be able to walk speedily from place to place and in comfort. Such feats are seldom heard of in the world of platforms, of which I am usually an inhabitant.
However, by the time I'd walked 20 minutes my feet were hurting from feeling the cold, hard slap of concrete against my soles. I then wandered on into Manchester, and was practically hobbling home by the end of the day. I arrived home with some new purchases for my feet. A type of unbecoming toe jewellery, if you will, in the form of fabric. Fabric plasters to be blunt.
Not only did my feet arrive back in the same, if not worse condition, than they usually do from wearing a good six inch shoe, but they didn't look half as good in the process. So as it stands, I still hate flat shoes.
Please, please help me find some comfortable boots that look really good and that don't have a heel, because I have to force myself to convert to their cause because I just can't skate around in stilettos on winter's upcoming ice.
Hope you're all ok. I've been reading your blogs even if I haven't been posting!
Oh Cassie that sounds terrible! Do you wear heels all the time though? I genuinely don't think I'd be able to, what kind of heels do you wear daily? I'd just about cope with a wedge...
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the comment on my blog, you're too lovely! I'm going to give the lip marker a go today, I'm in love with their Vamp lipstick, it's gorgeous! So dark too!

You are the only person I know that finds heels as comfortable if not more so than flats! x
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'd love to see the brogues you purchased... maybe a photo? =) Hope your voice returns properly soon!
yay someone who shares my opinion on heels!
ReplyDeletei'm so fed up of being tutted at when i arrive for a long day out in 4 inch platforms - i'd much sooner be complaining if i wore flip flops or pumps!
anyway i love the miu miu's:) x
I have the same problem with flat shoes Cass, my arches are really high and it genuinely feels like they're being stretched in flat shoes! I bought a pair of platformed clogs from Office last week and they are ridiculously easy to walk in, I strongly suggest getting a pair, I may well wear them for uni one day to let you see their awesomeness!
ReplyDeleteOh and I have that topshop jersey dress, it's SO flattering!! x
