Shoe challenge #67: The blues

I had a bit of rough day today, as some things happened this weekend that left me feeling quite miserable. I'm not sure how things are going to pan out in the end, but we still have to get dressed every day, right? I could still only manage a hint of a smile though, as you can tell.

I think the colours give my mood away as well. I rarely dress in something so sombre, but I just veered towards this navy dress this morning. I don't wear it that often, as I'm usually not one for the frilly bits, but it was comfortable.

The shoes however are definitely not the most comfortable ones in the collection. I'm afraid they've become quite stiff, I think from a lack of wear. I'm not sure if wearing them will reverse the process though, we'll have to wait and see.

Shoe challenge #43: Cream snake

No outfit post today, I'm afraid. It was pouring rain this morning when I left for work, and I won't get home until late tonight, as I have a sushi and drinks date planned with my girls. But I will count this shoes as saved though, and tell you that I'm wearing them with this black dress.
The shoes aren't too comfortable today, for some reason they are pinching my feet in all the wrong places today. Just when I picked them because of their usual comfort level. I guess I'll be suffering quite a bit by tonight, but for now I've kicked them off underneath my desk. Sneaky, I am.

Sometimes I come across shoes that I wouldn't necessarily wear myself, but that I do like very much. These are such shose. They almost seem to grown-up for me personally, but I feel like I would totally love them to death in a few years or so.

The neutral uppers with the snake print on the heel really work for me, and I also adore the general shape. Make me one completely in hot pink, and I'll probably buy it, despite my aversion for ankle straps. These are currently on sale at Sarenza, and will only cost you €33! And no one would ever suspect these aren't designer, I'm sure.

Sassy

As I may have mentioned several times before, I'm not too keen on green. I can deal with turquoise or teal or mint, but I don't like "green" green. These Miss Selfridge courts might make me change my mind though. The green suede uppers are stunning, set off against the gold snakeskin of the heel and platform.

If these photos don't convince you to walk on the green side though, there's also a very cute candy-coloured version up for grabs.

Both pairs will set you back £42.

Latino

Well, these are certainly fierce, aren't they? Some might argue that they're a bit much, what with the pink, the red, the black, the tribal inspired black and white pattern and the snake print in the back. Shape-wise these are quite heavy as well, and probably too heavy for my own two feet and my short little legs. These are what I call pop star shoes, and they would work wonderfully on the red carpet or the stage, on -let's say- Beyoncé or J.Lo.
Personally I'm not the clubbing kind, so I'd probably not get much wear out of these myself, but if you see yourself rocking these out on the dance floor, be my guest and fork over your £78 at Topshop.

While I can certainly appreciate all the intricate details that went into designing these sandals, I'm not totally sure how I feel about them. They are very space-y and while I love to look at them, I can't exactly imagine them on a foot. I'm worried they may be too overwhelming, especially since the straps are so heavy in the ankle area.

I do like the mix of the pristine white and the blue-ish metallic snake, but their black and gold counterpart is a bit too Darth Vader for me. If you think you can carry them off though, you can get them at Topshop for £85.

To python or not to python

These Gucci sandals? $1100.

These Kurt Geiger sandals? $340/£210. Added bonus: no snakes had to die for these.
