And they did – perfectly. I walked back to work with a spring in my step and a smile for the rest of the day. As soon as I got there I put them on and swanned around the office showing off the cuteness of the shoes – because the cuteness should be shared around – they make my feet look tiny and make me incredibly tall!
I think these will feature in many an outfit to come – but I do have one small issue. Where I live we don’t necessarily wear heels all day everyday like many fashion bloggers I’ve seen. I love owning heels – they make me feel all grown up, but we normally just wear them for special occasions. As a result I had my booties on for half the day (a mostly sitting down day) and my feet were killing me at the end of it – I had to take them off and wear my flats home. Also my job calls for sensible shoes a lot of the time (setting up events means moving a lot of furniture) so my poor little feet just can’t seem to handle wearing heels all of the time – and most of my heels aren’t exactly what you would call sky high.
So I’ve decided that I a)need a job that calls for wearing heels, b)need to move to a city where its ‘normal’ to wear heels during the day and c)wear heels to work but have a pair of flat sensible shoes that I can change into when my feet decide to die. I need to prepare my feet over the next year for when I decide to move and get that job, whatever and wherever it may be.

Your booties looks so cool! And I love your couch cushions too.
Hehe shoes are a good excuse as any to look for a new job/move to another area :D
Thanks Miss Karen - i actually made the cushions myself. Its surprising how long it took to stuff those, it didnt help that the hole i left was only about a centimeter big :)
I know those shoes well - I walk past Mi Piaci every day and covet half the shoes in there. What do you do for a job? I'm on my feet most of the day, but over the last few months I've gone from dying to being absolutely fine all day. Anyways, living in a city where nobody wears heels is an even better excuse to wear them, I say!!!
Louise - i dont really go into town much these days (although summer means new wardrobe which means going into town) so when i spotted them on the sale rack while getting sushi for dinner i knew i must have them. I'm an events coordinator so lots of being on my feet and moving things for set up. But i do have sitting down days where i'm on the phone and emailing alot aswell - which is where the breaking my feet in to heels will come in :)
Yay the booties fit! They are really cute, I vote you wear them as often as you possibly can.
