Today's outfit was fairly simple, but I love to wear white - it always feels so Summery! As it was a Monday, and I was not too keen on going back to work, I decided some super fantastic shoes (as the Manolo would say) were needed today...
These Gucci shoes are probably some of the prettiest ones I own. The first time I wore them to work, my assistant took a photo of them so he could show his girlfriend. I see a lot of flowery shoes, and in fact when I am searching for shoes online, I usually look for multi-coloured ones. But these are more special than most. I only learned recently that the Gucci Flora print was actually designed for Princess Grace. It makes sense when you see it, as it really is lovely.
My sister came back from the UK today, and she bought me these beautiful Ted Baker shoes that I'd been admiring on Asos for a while. For some reason (maybe just to spite me), Asos decided that they would send these shoes anywhere except Australia (and NZ), so I wasn't able to order them! But my lovely sister managed to go to an Office store and find them for me.
I can't wait to wear them! I just need to find the right outfit...
Do you ever have days when you can't find anything to wear, even though you have drawers and cupboards and shelves full of clothes, and yet you still keep a big pile of clothes on the floor of your bedroom, and your friends say "I can't believe you leave $300 dresses lying on the floor!"? Today was such a day for me. In the end, I decided that instead of trying to match a cream top with a cream cardigan and shoes, I'd just go all out with the colours and patterns and matching, and I ended up with this:
These are probably some of my prettiest shoes. They're by Gucci, and they're actually half a size too big, but I loved them so much that I bought them anyway. Unfortunately, a former boss of mine at work once spilled her hot chocolate on them. I carefully cleaned them as much as I could, and although no chocolatey marks are visible on them from a distance, I still know they're there, and it's something that's probably always going to bother me.
I am about to take off my nail polish, leave all my skirts and heels at home, and go off to the rainforest with my mother for the weekend, where there will be no TV and no phone reception. Hopefully it'll be a nice break for us, and I'll be back tomorrow night.
