Shoe challenge #69: Bronze gladiator

I'm giving you all a very exclusive look into my life right here. This is what I look like when I come home from work. Obviously I wore proper heels all day, but as soon as I came home, it was chore time! I reorganized the dressing and did all the ironing. And yes, I only finished it all just now, after midnight. Oi, life can be hard sometimes. There was a particular reason for organizing my dressing, but we'll get to that later.

It's not the most flattering look (it did look better with coloured tights and black boots), but it does the trick just fine when you spend a couple of hours on your feet. Not a lot of people get to see these, they're strictly for household chores, gardening (as if I ever did) and long, long walks. They took a long time breaking in (the soles of my feet were ruined after the first day), but now they are comfy beyond words. Still not pretty though, but hey, at least my toe nails look cute, right? I love this baby blue, it cheers me up every time I look down!

Dress (H&M), shoes (Birkenstock) and nail polish (Model's Own).

Shoe challenge #65: Walking in Wien

Deciding whether or not to include my Birkenstocks in the Shoe Challenge was a bit of a dilemma, but I figured that I wear them a lot anyway, so I might as well rescue them properly instead of making it a bit easier on myself. But here's the thing. They are usually the shoes I slip into after a long day in heels, or to hang out in the house. Or (wait for it) when I have a lot of walking to do. Like in Vienna! Bingo! As good an excuse as any to share with you a peek of last week.

Okay okay, I'm not actually wearing them in that picture, but I thought it was too funny to keep from you. And they are in the picture, after all (right hand side). This was taken in front of the museum of natural history and the top one in front of Sissi's summer house Schönbrunn. Vienna is so pretty, I'm definitely going back. The brunette in the pictures is my BFF and the blonde is another really close friend of ours whose boyfriend actually studied in Vienna this past year.

Just to give you a closer look at the shoes, Birkenstock's Piazza, I'm showing you a generic picture from the Internet. I couldn't seriously show you my shoes in detail, it's embarassing and I think it's time I replace them. After all, I lived in them for three full months while in Asia two years ago, so it's no wonder they are practically falling apart. I think I'll go for some pink ones, but not until next Summer.
