Shoe challenge #39: Like a feather

I'm just so happy I took a few days off this week, it's been just too hot to properly work anyways. It makes me go into the office dressed like this: in the lightest cotton, in the lightest colours, and with open shoes to let the little toesies breathe a bit. I'm afraid I didn't get a good photo though; this me-walking-towards-the-camera is actually the best visual image I can give you of the full outfit. Just as well, as it was very early (before work) and my hair was still wet from the shower.

I don't wear these gold wedges nearly enough (with the Belgian weather and all), but they're comfortable enough and I quite like their casual/sparkly ratio.

Shoe challenge #61: Golden eye

These. Are. So. 80s. Well, they remind me of the eighties at least, somehow I can totally see my mom (with a bad perm of course) wearing them in the past. I love the kitsch-factor of the gold uppers. But, that said, they are pretty comfortable. And perfect for the sunny weather we had today. (thunderstorm coming tomorrow though, damnit) I wore this dress with a pink cardigan for modesty reasons, and I was practically boiling on the train.

I'm in the middle of the very daring task of packing for Vienna, which is a nightmare. We're flying with Ryanair, which means we can only take carry-on, so I probably won't be doing any shoe challengers there. Bummer. On top of that, it's really unsure what kind of weather we'll be having. Extra bummer. I hope I'll manage, cross your fingers!

Hello new lovers!

Pretty much jumping up and down at this point

I was planning on working on an outfit post for my most recent shoe challenge victory, but excuse me if I got sidetracked there. Because there was a Solestruck package waiting for me! I was super happy with their delivery and not just because I was so very anxious to get those hot pink Wilmas on my feet.
Not only were they super speedy (US to Belgium in six or seven working days!), but my mum only needed to pay ten euros in customs taxes to the delivery guy. Score! Not only did I manage to avoid delivery charges, I paid nearly nothing on what usually adds up quite easily to 30 euros... But, let's just get on with the real thing, okay? I know you want to, I'm not going to let you beg. I apologise for the image heavy post in advance.

Waaaaaaaah!!! Look at the sheer madness of those Wilmas! I ordered them a size up, like I was told to by pretty much everyone, but I'm not sure if I needed to. These slipped right on like butter, without any effort whatsoever, and they're quite roomy so I'll have to wear heavy socks in them.

Leopard everywhere!

I just can't tell you enough how gorgeous these are, you should see them in the flash. The gorgeous furry hot pink leopard actually wraps around the entire shoe, even the bottom! The flash on my camera really doesn't do them any justice, as it makes them appear paler than they actually are. And trust me, these are the hottest pink you will have ever seen. Quote my mom: "You are out of your mind". Can you imagine she didn't even mean that as a compliment?

Perfection!

They are amazingly comfortable to walk around in, thanks to the platform, and I can't wait to take these out for a spin. I haven't quite decided if that's going to be tonight though. I'm just going out for a few drinks with my girlies, so that's a pro. But what about everything that could go wrong? It might rain! Someone might step on my foot and thus ruin the gorgeous pony hair! The new boyfriend might not like them, and I'll have to break up with him because of it! Can you imagine my dilemma?!

Just for $10 extra

And as a sidenote: I'm pretty happy with these gold wedges from Carlos Santana as well. They were the extra addition to my shopping cart to avoid delivery charges and they're actually prettier than I expected them to be. They have this gorgeous glitter in the cork wedge, which I hadn't noticed on the website but absolutely love.

Some bling bling

Too bad the straps are made for people with toothpicks for legs, since I can hardly get the strap to fit around my (not exactly fat) ankle. It's actually at the widest possible. Nontheless I have no doubt they'll do good come Summer.
