Watcha Wearing Wednesday...on Thursday...

Well it's only my second week of joining in with Fi's Watcha Wearing Wednesday, and already I'm a day late. To be honest, I'd completely forgotten about it until about 9pm last night. So of course it was too late to snap my outfit without having to use the flash (urggh!!!).

So. Creative option nubmer 1. Lie on the kitchen bench under the flourescent light to try and get some decent lighting..... By the way, if you're ever tempted to try this - don't. It didn't work.

Creative option number 2. This was a much better idea. Sit on a bar stool, whack my feet up onto the bench, and photograph my shoes. Worked out quite well actually, as these were by far the best part of today's outfit anyway (which also consisted of jeans with a hole in the knee, and a wrinkled t-shirt).

I LOVE these shoes. Bought them from Camper while in Melbourne at Christmas time. SO comfy, and just so darn handsome if I do say so myself. I always feel like I look much cooler than I really am when I wear these shoes. Which is probably not true at all. I probably look as dorky as I really am. But hey, it's all about feeling good right?

Actually, considering how new these shoes are, they are looking a bit scuffy already aren't they. I'm starting to think this blog may reveal me as a person who is not very good at looking after their shoes....or their kitchen bench come to think of it (although I promise I do not make a habit of sitting with my feet up on food preparation surfaces. Honest!!)...

For more Watcha Wearing Wednesday musings check out the blog list on Fi's blog. I'm sure the other players probably have much more exciting things to talk about than just their shoes and their kitchen hygiene standards.....

This is...my favourite pair of shoes

OK, I'm finally getting around to part 2 of this week's This is... theme (chosen by Hip Hop & Banana Bread). It's funny really, that I don't at all consider myself a 'shoe person', as I really don't own many pairs of shoes. But I have realised that I do REALLY LOVE the shoes I do have.

I decided on the shoes above (by Think!)as my favourites, as they are the first pair of heels I have ever owned that are ridiculously comfortable. Granted, it is not much of a heel, but it's enough to look dressy, and yet I can still walk as far as I need to without my feet killing me, or my dodgy hips getting cranky with me. Plus, they look great with everything - dresses, jeans, pants. What else can I say - I really love 'em.

And yet, I seriously considered these other two contenders:


In Summer, I pretty much live in my Birkenstock sandals.


Ditto for these black Camper shoes in Winter.

And I simply can't do a post about shoes without showing you this pair, that I have only worn a handful of times, and yet they are the most perfect looking shoe. I feel like Alice in Wonderland when I wear them.



That is, if Alice in Wonderland wore RABBIT TRAPS SNAPPED ONTO HER FEET!!!!!!!!!


Although they look great, these Allanah Hill shoes with the little ladybugs on the toes take the phrase 'suffering for your fashion' to a whole new level. The girl in the shop assured me they would stretch and become really comfortable. They didn't. I had them professionally stretched too. I nearly cried when it didn't work. So I have a love/hate relationship with them I guess. I do wear them on occasion. But only to seated events......
