    Size 6, something that won't cripple me if I stand up in them for a long time (may be fighting a losing battle on this one!), to go under a black full length bridesmaids dress and preferably something I can wear again. Hmmm, nothing peeptoe, although strappy is ok. And not costing a fortune. Colour - dunno! The wedding theme is black and white so I could play it safe and get black but I suppose anything will go as they're not really going to be on display.

    All ideas welcome :)

    Ideally not much more than £50ish, although I could be persuaded to stretch that for the right pair. Oooh Dune, I always forget about them!

    exhausted!
    bit overwhelmed by all this socialising,
    been for coffee which was nice, and then another friend has just left after her visit,
    got someone else (one of mum's colleagues) coming to see me later too...though why they would want to I have no idea :o

    Just nipping in really quickly. Gonna be very busy over the next 5 or 6 days so probably wont be on very much. Will try and keep up with you all through blogs though, which I have just done now as well.

    Hugs to you all.

    Hugs back at ya Nici!

    Mum's colleague (calls herself my Aunty) has just been round with a huge bag of gifts,
    gosh I feel guilty and spoiled.
    She cried when she saw me :( but has promised to visit me in hospital and her daughter is a beauty therapist so when I am out, I get free pampering.

    Now I can finally relax a bit today,
    hope everyone is okay <3

    I have a wedding to go to in 3 weeks - I bought a dress to wear and have been trying to find shoes to go with it. Can I wear espadrilles? Would they look too casual? Its a very big posh wedding, but I can't find shoes that I like that will go with it! I can't wear open toed sandals, I have horrible feet!

    This is the dress.

    Your link isn't showing a dress, but a moving front page. In any case, I think espadrilles would be too casual, really. :(
