To Teeter or Totter, What do you think?

I got new shoes for the wedding in 2 weeks time.
Remember the shoes I couldn't walk in last weekend at the hen do?

They are way higher than those pink ones.
They are even higher than the red ones, my favourite shoes.

New shoes?
That is easy to answer.
My justification is simply this.

I want to wear this lovely turquoise/ chocolate dress, last worn to Emily's wedding in October, where I wore dark brown suede court shoes.
I decided that as it is a "Summer" wedding in June (hahaha)- in theory at least -bearing in mind that I went out in boots and an umbrella in the rain to buy these shoes at the weekend.
The theory in my thought process was that the chocolate brown suede shoes would be too heavy and dark for a "summer" wedding. Pink shoes sadly wouldn't do, or the lovely favourite red shoes. What to do? My black sandals clashed horribly.... so new shoes it was to be.
They were fairly easy to find. Tried on 3 different pairs, quickly discarded because white patent looked tacky and the beige suede ones with the bow looked horrid. After a slight glance at some this season's ankle sandal /boots that I hurriedly dismissed, feeling that next season, this season's would be so out of season.
Then I saw these.

These are ridiculously high.

Gorgeous.

Beautiful.

Elegant.

I couldn't resist them.Is that bad?

I love them.
Really love them.
I now have 2 weeks to practise walking in them.
I have to walk in them and have THE wedding cake to take too.
I could make quite an entrance, as I teeter and totter in.
I can't walk in them, yet, of course.
Determination is a wonderful gift.
Clomp, clomp, clip, clop off I go.

A Rainy Day 2 Shop Under My Umbrella!

I went shopping with my friend Abbie.
It was raining and cold and grey.
A typical English day.
No wonder the grass is so green here!
We bravely ventured to the shops, via a cafe on the way for yummy lunch. I say bravely because we had to:
a) dodge raindrops
b) puddle jump
c) negotiate shoppers looking for bargains in the sales.
We did it.
I got some clothes for my new job that starts next week!
I love my umbrella that has hearts all over it, but Abbies is fantastic isn't it with all those rainbow coloured storm words?
This is my photo for day 2 of project 365. Nice one Abs!

Remember to be thankful for shopping days!

I went shopping with Ruth today! I work part time, currently, so after I finished work I met up with Ruth and we went on the train to the shops!
I was treated to lunch and my train ticket, as she said I was blessing her with a place to stay this week!
I bought a very girlie and pretty new handbag!
Guess which colour it is?
We had coffee too.
I had the cheque from china search arrive last week for my old dinner set, so I bought some new plates and the all important butter dish with a lid.
Tudur loves butter and gets it whenever he can, so a butter dish with a lid is an absolute must in this household!
I got the plates from john Lewis and they are delivering it to me in a few days time as we both thought that carrying new plates on a train might be too much of a smashing time for our shopping day.
We slept on the train journey home.
A wonderful day.I love shopping! Job interview tomorrow... Here is what I bought...
Did you guess right?
