Yesterday I bought new shoes. From a Charity Shop.
I don’t often find shoes that I like, are my size, or are a price I’m willing to pay for second hand shoes in Charity Shops, but these were just £3.75 and I loved the style. They’re New Look, nothing fancy, but I do like New Look shoes anyway, so figured for that price they couldn’t really let me down.
Today I have nothing much to do except sit in a hotel room and write, and maybe pop out for a quick dinner at Pizza Express or Wetherspoons later. My outfit therefore reflects this exciting day. I always like seeing what people wear on the days where they’re doing nothing much. I don’t own things like Ugg boots, and though I might occasionally wear jeans and trainers or plimsolls if I just need to run to the shops quickly, todays outfit is pretty much my go to, lounging day type of outfit.
I want to keep my hair out of my face so I’ve plaited my fringe and worn a head scarf (the same scarf that Fiona from Sea of Shoes was wearing at the Alice in Wonderland screening.) It’s Frost French and silk, but I think it was a magazine freebie. Fiona got hers from a Charity Shop, I was given mine so I’m not sure, but I like it anyway. I wanted to be a bit comfortable to sit around all day, so an easy T shirt and puffy skirt are in order, and obviously the weather requires tights. These grey ones are nice and soft and comfortable, not all tight fitting and stomach holding in, so on they went.
I don’t match but I’m comfortable and it’s amazing how colourful a combination of such non colours like grey, black and burgundy can feel.
