So Fabulous!

My new shoes are so obscenely cute, they make me laugh every time I look at my feet.

Last year I went back to my favourite choir. For the Christmas concert, which required formalwear, I bought an ankle length black dress. Unfortunately my only pair of plain black shoes were flat, and my dress dragged on the floor. Despite being a dressmaker I decided not to hem the dress, but to buy a taller pair of shoes instead. Of course!

These little beauties are by So Fabulous! at Very. The range are wide fitting, which usually means frumpy and horrid, but in this case it means some brilliantly fashionable styles that I can actually wear without cutting off the circulation to my toes. Because this pair are very rounded, they’re actually so wide that I might even have to pop an insole inside them. But that only makes them more comfortable, so it’s a win all round.

I tried them on as soon as they arrived, and these just happened to be the socks I was already wearing that day. Between the curved heels and the chiffon ruffles and the stripes, I suddenly felt as though I was 25 again, and ought to be going out to a goth night! I have a sneaking suspicion that I’m going to get a lot of wear out of these little beauties.
