#19 - Satin shoes

I had to go to court today, and an older lady who's an administrator there commented on my pink satin shoes. She told me that when she was younger and used to go to dances, it was difficult to find coloured satin shoes, so she would buy white ones and dye them to match her dresses. I thought that was a really interesting idea, and I know you can still get dyeable satin shoes for weddings. It'd be a good thing to do for those outfits that you just can't find the right shoes to match.
Shoes from Debenhams, skirt from Herringbone, and sweater from Wheels and Dollbaby (I love it! It's so pretty and girly. Wheels and Dollbaby have some amazing clothes). It really wasn't sweater weather today, and I felt so hot wearing this, but at least it looked cute, I suppose.

Well, I did go shopping today, and I bought an adorable dress & 2 pairs of (inexpensive) shoes, which I'm sure you'll see here soon enough. I think it might be time to start going through some of my old shoes and getting rid of the ones I'm not going to wear, because I'm still feeling quite overwhelmed by the shoe challenge at this point.

  3. Those are another pair of great shoes. I especially like the color, and the bows are fun as well. Like you, I am hoping to make it through the Shoe Challenge without becoming overwhelmed. It is good to clean, organize and hopefully actually wear them all. :)
