Breaking Through, Travelling On

He's really something, isnt he! I think he's related to Henry James who wrote Turn of the Screw?

Gardening! Chopping up buddleia branches and bits of ivy, and digging up Japanese anemone, grrr - just one of many huge plants in a narrow border *right* by the back door, no sense at all!

Have otherwise been faffing about I do like faffing on a Sunday

Love all of the dresses


What about irregular Choice shoes? - some designs have small heels but they're funky shoes:

I have a thing for Iron Fist shoes:

I wore a pair very similar to the first (complete with the studs) when being a model at a WI fashion show - the audience loved them - I had to remind them they were meant to be looking at the clothes, not the shoes (all the models wore their own shoes)

Having had the privilege of meeting KC I can say that these are most definitely her :T

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: omigod, those Iron Fist shoes are delicious :j:j:j especially yours with the studs! I'm not into skulls, I confess. But the studs, bring it on :j Problem is the arthritis in the balls of my feet - I wouldn't be able to walk, or stand up straight sorry.

But I *really* appreciate you posting, you star, greent!

The irregulars are wonderful. Truly, deeply wonderful. Thats *exactly* my taste! Just had a look at all the low heeled ones - there are some that are the same colour, self patterned ... I don't think I can wear multi coloured shoes with a multicoloured dress, my brain starts ringing alarm bells - I need to be a bit more coordinated these days. Wait a minute - the first one you linked to *is* self patterned, more or less.

Damn, I've been away from consumerism for too long. I'm not even going to post the linkie to the personal blogpost I've just done. I don't need to!

Greent, you have to have several gold stars near your avatar

Awww, thank you Gally! I agree, actually For you, you need an Irregulars in a sandal formation, as a glamorous expat on intercontinental holidays :j




ETA - I've hidden the post I did on my personal blog. The boots are lovely, but the shoes are hideous. Lesson Learned, as they say.

I figured the IC shoes would be a good possibility for KC, just from what I have gleaned from MFW posts - and I put the (relatively) plain ones up to show they don't all have to be funky coloured - the heels are low and reasonably chunky - and the strap adds to the ease of wearing them


I love shoes - DD's friends were most surprised when she showed them some of my collection - they said 'but she looks so sensible!' - same as the school mums - they saw some pics on Fbk - they mainly see me in slip on skechers for the school run - I have on/off plantar fasciitis, a dodgy hip and issues in cold/ wet weather from a couple of old broken toes, so high heels are kept for rare occasions - but I love them (and I'm not quite 5 2" in height, so it really makes a difference when I wear them) (My IF studded ones are more gothic roses with skulls hidden very well amongst them)

My foot issues are more from ballet, I think - it all helped cure flat feet, but created later toe and ball-of-the-foot problems, hey ho - I've just checked where the stores are, and there's a couple quite near me - directions to one are deceptive (it names two different towns), so I asked online help, which they really push hard - they even wanted to see me! luckily my camera is switched off *and* blocked - but they were useless, in spite of eventually going off to check hearsay at the call centre. They nearly lost me with that, but the shoes are too good :j:j:j

Bleep, this morning has been stressful. Highly ... I'm so glad I'm retiring soon. Sorry to go on about it so much Anyway, its led me to actually look forward to the face to face work I've got scheduled for midday, so thats not bad

greent

KC, 'go on about' retiring all you like - we're all cheering you on to there and living the countdown vicariously through you

Karmacat

Thank you sweetie! Much appreciated :kisses3: and I remember the vicariousness through Goldie, that's true ... Gally's came on too fast for there to be too much so thats fun to be the one spearheading it now :j

Just realised I've done the things I *had* to do today:
- difficult work call
- email, sort of ditto
- cleaning
- midday work

Excellent. I'm going to do banking tomorrow, so I'll post off the webuy books parcel then. So, for the rest of today:
- late lunch.
- bit more pruning, if I don't get blown away.
- bit more cleaning and decluttering - the gloryhole by the back door is looking better and better :j
- possibly a bit more Christmas shopping - did a couple of substantial things yesterday online :j even if I don't actually shop today, I might get the cards out :eek::cool::D
- finish a half finished blog post.

I hope you're all having a better day than we are here, it's been absolutely teeming with rain all day and now the wind has got up again so it looks like a noisy night in store with the cat yowling his head off to go out. He just won't use a litter tray and I keep the cat-flap closure thingy on when it's very windy as the blasts of cold air completely cancel the meagre effect of the heating that OH will agree to having on:eek:. I'm up and down all evening and half the night letting him in and out. The cat that is, not OH:rotfl:


I went out to post some books that I'd sold over the weekend and at the same time picked up my winnings from Saturday's Lotto. No, I didn't win the jackpot, but I did win £25:j which is what they pay for 3 balls nowadays. I buy a ticket only if there's a mega-rollover (foolish I know as probably everyone else is doing the same:rotfl:) and had forgotten it had gone up from £10 to £25:o.

Good luck with finding and buying your dream shoes, KC:beer:
