Clompy witch stripper shoes

DSC_0046

There’s something fascinating about these clompy sandals, which are from Office. They are part ugly dumpy shoe, part slutty stripper-wear. I think they are terrific. Although, fall over in them and you’d do your ankle something rotten.

You will notice that I have not painted my toenails for this picture. I have decided that I refuse to bow to such tight constrains on the nature of “female beauty”, being as I am a terrifying, firebrand feminist.

Also – couldn’t be bothered.

    Snorted over “also – couldn’t be bothered”. Unfortunately this applies to most of my wardrobe decisions.

    You clearly didn’t read Cupcakes & Cashmere ‘beauty commandments’ yesterday, which made me cry with laughter. WTF is an ‘outward facing’ event? And written in all seriousness: “The things I always have on me: hand sanitizer (there’s nothing grosser than sticking a dirty finger into a pot of lip gloss)”

    Apropos of nothing in particular, are you taking this pics with a self timer or is someone taking them for you? Cos they’re great.

      Oh wow you are so kind, thank you. Most are on a timer but I have now bought myself a remote control! BEST PURCHASE EVER. I’ve also got a speed light on my camera, which makes a huge difference. xxx

    I love that you also have kids’ wall art’ behind your photos. My 3 year old recently made our living room look like a Berlin underpass. I cried…

    You have made me buy the silver/mirror version because they were reduced to £20! I love ’em but am quite likely to break both my ankles over Christmas.

    I just saw a funny e-card type thing that I imagine would make you laugh quite hard and maybe do a tiny bit of wee at the same time, but it has a rude word in it so my cyber modesty means I feel bad about sending without prior authority…

            Me too, so much so that I bought some cheap imitation ones for my 4yr old to try and coax him out of wellies. He had the last laugh, announcing to friends they were not Crocs but fake ones. Thanks, son.
