May 31 Day Fashion Blogger Challenge: Day 20 – Shoes you love but hardly wear

By

I got behind again! Not that I ever managed to get completely caught up last time, but I was only one day away. I’m not going to prescribe a set number of posts per day but just aim to get all the posts up by the end of the month. Which is in three days. Eep.

Anyway, today’s choice is some pretty blingin’ purple shoes that I got in late 2005. I have only worn them a few times because of the four-inch heel. I pretty much only wear them to house parties and to dinner in restaurants when I’m getting driven all the way there and back! They were £48 in a sale at Nine West which probably sounds like a lot to people who can buy shoes in Primark but for me that’s a bargainous price for shoes I actually like. It’s a rare, rare occasion when I spend less than £35 on shoes, and I usually shoe shop in the sales, though sometimes I’ll have to get in there fast before my size sells out and pay full price. If I need a specific type of shoe quickly…let’s just say my wallet cries a little. I still resent the £60 I had to spend on ugly yet practical and appropriate shoes for work (which have now stopped being comfortable so I had to buy gel inserts for them, argh!). It’s not like I own many pairs of shoes or spend masses on clothes though so everything evens out budget-wise.

Aren’t they beautiful? A bit OTT but oh well, I’m all about the PURPLE PURPLE PURPLE.

8 Random Things About Me

By

Ashe Mischief tagged me to do this in December 2007, and I have only just gotten around to it. That’s how busy I have been. But I am no longer busy, as

1. I handed in my last pieces of work for my degree on Monday. I’m done. Scary. But more blog posts will be done! Whoo!

2. I’m intolerant of onions, which is a pain when I’m trying to buy pasta sauce or going to eat at other people’s houses.

3. Writing is my first love, but music is a close second. Every other day I get up, get dressed, eat breakfast, and then practice piano before I do anything else.

4. Before purple, my favourite colour used to be yellow, which is really strange as they’re opposite on the colour wheel and generally look terrible in combination.

5. I currently have twenty-three library books out. I am a member of two academic libraries, for my college and my university, and two public library systems, but I only have books from my college library and the two public library systems out at the moment.

6. I have fifty-three bottles of nail varnish. Not all of them are full size, but most of them are almost full. I keep them all in a ice-cream box that is a hideous shade of lime green, inside one of my cupboards.

7. I always forget about dirty mirrors when attempting to take daily outfit photos. I took one today but it came out really badly because of the mirror so I will have to try again later.

8. When I was a kid I wanted to be a witch when I grew up, but because all the ones I’d read about were evil, I decided I was going to be a fairy instead. Later I read a book with a good witch in it and went back to wanting to be a witch. I was fascinated by magic until I actually became a teenage witch, of the Wiccan variety, but after a couple of years I lost interest.

If you read this, consider yourself tagged, but you don’t have to do it. I’m not going to hunt you down and force you to post your own!
