Last week, I was on holiday. Translation: doing all the boring bits of personal admin that you don't get the time to do when you're working.
However, I dedicated Tuesday to fun stuff, like buying summer shoes. I usually make a bee-line for New Look, but either my feet have grown, or their size 9s have got smaller because I clanked around for ages feeling like an Ugly Sister before finally going "Give it up, woman, you're 29! Buy some proper shoes that will last you!" And so off to DUO's beautiful new Covent Garden store I duly trotted.
It has a GRAND PIANO in it! And I bought the red pair of these gorgeous Olympia flats!
I would actually like all of them. I love the ribbon threaded through, and the big cheerful bow on the end. I wore my beautiful red shoes on Easter Sunday while I was cooking roast lamb for the first time ever, and then to karaoke in the evening.
They cost £80, come in sizes 2 to 9, and they should last me for a good long time. Happy shoes for happy feet.
Ooh I'm looking for a new pair of navy flats and I love these... But the shoe budget doesn't stretch this month. Gah!
ReplyDeletelovely, i thought it was just me in new look i am a normal 7 shoe, 8 boot, but there 8 flats were pinching when i tried on a pair the other day, thought my feeet were having a growth spurt, which would be strange at my age - 45 !!
ReplyDeleteI am a 9. I have actual heart love for those red ones.
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable. So glad you got the red ones-they're pretty perfect.
ReplyDelete@Helen I know what you mean, £80 is a *lot* of money. That said, I've refused to wear flats for the last couple of years because most of them offer no support to the feet: even Topshop's make my heels cry after 10 minutes or so. These ones were fine all day.
ReplyDeleteHappy shoe hunting everyone!
