Contrasting tied wedges £29.99 – search 3523/201
I went insane last week during the fourth consecutive 6am wake-up with Sam and went on an online shopping spree in Warehouse and Zara.
Actually this is a lie, I didn’t go insane – I coldly went online to spend money because I was pissed off about being awake. It was the opposite of insane. I was the sanest moment of the day.
I found I’d lost my touch, though – and genuinely sort of couldn’t find anything to buy. Normally in any shop you put me in I can find something fabulous – Homebase, Poundland, Oasis … but even on the Zara website I was a bit lost.
I am actually now really quite into dragging things out of my wardrobe that I haven’t worn for a while and trying to make them work. I look at these things and think “I loved you once. How can I love you again?”
But I just wanted to BUY SOMETHING. I’m sure you are sympathetic. So I got two tops that turned up and were a bit disappointing but then I also got these lace-up espadrilles and they were really very good. They are a beautiful colour, they are comfortable ***double triple win*** with a perfect heel height and the lace-up element is so inescapably now that I could wear it with an old H&M slip dress, some gypsy earrings and a scarf in my hair and look as though the whole thing was completely on purpose (as opposed to accidentally-on-purpose.)

Lovely shoes and you look fab!
But are the ties/lace ups comfortable around the ankle? I know that makes me sound ‘old’ but comfort when traipsing around with children is important😀.
Yes they are completely comfortable. I wouldn’t go hiking in them and possibly wouldn’t wear them if I was spending the entire bloody day with my kids, but absolutely fine for errands, school run etc x
The shoes look great and so are you.
xxx you are so lovely x
Can confirm, tried these on today in store and they are v v comfortable. Was being a tight-arse though and have heard a dirty little rumour that Zara sale starts tomorrow so will check online and maybe purchase then?!
haha! good idea! I’m such a dimwit about sales
Alas, they have now DISAPPEARED online. So clearly NOT in sale. Upside is, I now feel so proud for waiting that I may buy them full price as a treat for being so virtuous and patient *eye roll
no they are HERE and on sale! I feel like such a dickhead…. https://www.zara.com/uk/en/sale/woman/shoes/heeled-sandals/contrasting-tied-wedges-c542059p4335511.html
Not a million miles away from the espadrilles I wore to my wedding 40 years ago. Soooo pleased I kept them just in case they became fashionable again …
WELL DONE Katie!!!!!! I now have a strict policy of carefully putting clothes away for another time as I miss so much all sorts of stuff I have chucked out 🙁
