Red Shoes
They say (at least somebody does, I'm sure) that every woman should own a pair of red shoes. Well I've just bought mine...
Everyone at my work received a little (tiny) Christmas bonus this year. I've never had one before and normally when I come into a bit of unexpected money I just say that it will go toward something I've already bought or something we've got coming up.
But not this time. I bought myself a pair of red patent Mulberry ballet pumps. OMG!
I don't normally do designer stuff for two reasons. First, there is plenty of good stuff on the high street. Second, I can't afford it. But I do have a slight weakness for Mulberry accessories and have a purse and a bag which I bought (or rather had bought for me, with only the slightest of hints required - thank you, hunni) on sale.
Then, I just happened to go onto their website the other day and just happened to have a peek at the sale items and just happened to see a pair of ballet pumps in my size on sale...
They arrived yesterday. In a beautiful Mulberry bag, in a lovely shoe box, wrapped in tissue paper. My first thought was that they looked too small for me but when I put them on not only did they fit perfectly but it was like slipping my foot into a soft, cushioned silky slipper. I've never actually even tried on a pair of designer shoes before so this was a real first for me. It was like walking on feathers (yes, I may be getting carried away here...)
So I am delighted with my little purchase. What's more, because I have treated myself to something that I will wear (ballet pumps rather than, say, a gorgeous pair of stilettos which I'll put on but never actually wear on account of feeling like a giantess in them) I may actually get my money's worth.
I wonder if it would be too much to get the black pair too, which they also happen to still have in my size...?

Oh good for you! In fact you've just given me an idea.....x
Thank you - I hope your idea isn't an expensive one!!

They are beautiful!! Please may I have some?! (actually if i were going to get some designer shoes, it'd be Christian Louboutins.... A girl can dream!)
Those are be-you-ti- ful ! Hope you get lots and lots of happiness from wearing (in my world lovely shoes = much happiness but then I'm monumentally shallow !)
Thanks for the comments!
@planb - oooh yes, wouldn't mind a pair of Louboutins myself...would need a bigger bonus though!
@Muddlingalongmummy - I have tried them on many times already and just wish this snow would go so I can wear them out!!
