Now I am not a shoe person. I have a wedding to go to and got a cherry print dress and want something to go with it. Somewhat a bit late to be looking I grant you, and with nothing to do this morning (OK, I have loads but it's Monday) I started looking for some Cherry Print Shoes. And I came across these. For under £20, an absolute bargain and really different and gorgeous:

I'd not have anywhere else to wear them and would need propping up all day by my hubby as I know I'd come a cropper but how lush are they. Sigh. 7-14 days for delivery. Any chance of getting them by Saturday you wonder.
Off to look for more cherry shoes, red shoes or pumps (Rockabilly style dress with pettticoat, pumps will do) without a massive heel and in a weeny size 3. If anyone knows where to get any delivered to me by Friday would you please post.
Did buy this bag:http://www.legwearinternational.com/boy-london/handbags/cherry-bowling-bag-999
to go with this dress: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLACK-CHERRY-PIN-UP-ROCKABILLY-PROM-SWING-DRESS-8-16-/260514170859?pt=Women_s_Clothing&var=
And a black and red can can style petticoat (not too full, I'd not get under the table) got a big red flower in my hair.

I bought these recently in black:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rocket-Dog-Womens-Snackie-Flat/dp/B00361G748
The size 3s are only £10, less than I paid! I chose Super Saver Delivery and they still arrived early, but to be sure I'd pay postage for a speedy delivery.
I think I also saw some wedge cherry sandals which would be easier to walk in on eBay. I'll have another look for those.
EDIT: Had a look but they have since disappeared- I recall they were blue though so wouldn't have matched your dress that well anyway.0 -
Fuzzy, i edited my post to show the dress I am wearing. I don't think I'd get away with white on the bottom. Never thought of Amazon, I've been scouring eBay.
is it lunch time already, I've not done a lot this morning, LOL.
Had to get to the vets for 8am, kids are still nnot dressed as it was the only day they ever decided to sleep in late. They are playing with play-doh in their PJ's while I shop for shoes. I am such a bad mummy today!!0 -
No problem, I know what you mean! I bought them because I wanted a pretty flat shoe to wear when I have a nice dress on (can't wear heels!) I'm still not entirely sure they'll go all that well, but never mind, they're too cute to be sent back

There is some good stuff on Amazon, like these:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Irregular-Choice-Womens-Peep-toe-3784-2A/dp/B0031RFOOG/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=shoes&qid=1281957300&sr=1-4
Bit over budget and in Size 3 and a half, but I've heard Irregular Choice shoes often come up a bit small. The chunky heel and platform will make them comfier than most heels as well.
As you're not a keen shoe person I think you deserve to be a bad mummy today and treat yourself to something nice!0 -
Oh my, I have recently seen IC shoes, they are gorgeous, not sure they would suit when walking the dog and on the school run
but they are simply gorgeous. I have been drooling over those exact shoes on eBay this morning but not sure I would ever be able to walk in them at all.
I've got weak ankles, if I tread on a pencil and tip my ankle I end up with a sprained ankle, LOL, but I got a fmily do to go to and don'r speak to half of them - it's gotta say 'hello, look at me'. Ha ha. You know what I mean!!
PS. Thank you.

I think I need to just look for some nice red pumps.

Thanks, I am not sure I'd get away with blue but another site to look at thanks. I am just going through the sites as I think of them. Damn shoes taking up all of my day.0

I knew I'd seen these in a shop somewhere... found them, but not very MSE I'm afraid!! There are some gorgeous cherry earrings on this site too (sorry should focus on the shoes...
