World, meet my I will never wear these bastards again shoes. They were determined as shelf ornament since the last time it stumpified my poor feet, banished to live a life among the books…. but I guess this is how women go on to have their second child, all memory of pain wiped clean. Did I just compare invaluable childbirth to walking on hooves? Perhaps, but the pain surely induces a similar kind of reaction of wanting to squat in a corner and wail like a pirate with seasickness, yarr?

Thank you Daniel of Bloglovin’ for helping with the photos!

  12. The textures are unexpectedly suitable. I would have never thought of angora and feathers and polkadots, but you look fantastic. Such great and imaginative styling!

  13. If you have enough room, you should definitely place a foot insert (personal fave are the gels by Dr. Scholls) to give you some extra cushion. Personally, I thought the shoes were a bit on the heavy side, which has no solution.

  16. Those shoes are such beauties, so much worth enduring the pain of walking in them! I just bought the python print version of the Asos clutch. I adore how you paired it with that super fun skirt over the jeans.

  21. Ha, I know it may sound weird, but they look quite comfy (maybe it’s because the color of the platform- reminds me of sponge, sponge=soft and nice). No pain, no gain and I love the whole outfit, as always- your posts are always sooooo different (in a good way:D) and refreshing! Howgh

  29. I think a lot of people delete painful memories when the outcome was so good, like having a lovely child at the end of hours/days of painful labour, or looking cool after hours of your feet feeling like they want to disintegrate from the pain of a poorly thought out shoe choice. Your humourous writing is what keeps me coming back to your blog!

  30. I love that skirt. I saw lot’s of bloggers wearing that shoes so I thought they are more comfy, but after you saying this, it seems that they are just suffering for fashion :)

  32. I’ve just realised that I touch this sweater every time I see it hanging in H&M… It’s so awesome. And the orange and navy blue combo has been my favourite one recently, ahhh these colours are just meant to be worn together don’t they?
    The shoes look comfortable(…ish) though, shame it’s quite the opposite!

  36. I’d seen that skirt in the store & I thought it was imposible to wear in a stylish way. Silly me, you prove me wrong. Anyway, I’ve had that feeling with some pair of shoes & I usually need a long time to wear them again, I guess I don’t forget pain easily lol

  46. Gorgeous shoes, but I can see how they might fall into the foot molesting demons category. They will make a very attractive shelf ornament though!

    I really enjoyed hearing you talk at IFB last Friday, and it was lovely to meet you (albeit briefly) at Somerset House! x

  57. I thought that I might have the same trouble when I first saw these ankle boots with their serrated soles from Camilla Skovgaard, but they turned out to be some of the most comfortable boots in my wardrobe! Appearances can be deceptive

  59. I saw a look similar to this on a Topshop display, with the feathered skirt over trousers/jeans. I didn’t think it would work in real life, but it looks so natural!

    Hope you’re enjoying the season

  62. Nice outfit…. I’ve started noticing Mulberry bags everywhere I go. They’re rather popular, aren’t they? The other thing I keep noticing at the moment is a bit of sari material poking out of car doors when the sari-wearer traps it slamming the door.
