I am on a leopard skin roll! After yesterday’s ankle boots, today I’m on to the leopard skin heels. I must add that I did not wear these to Borough Market earlier today (black Converse with a sheepskin lining). But I’m going out tonight for cocktails and dinner and will be hauling out a little black dress, which cries out for a glamorous shoe companion. These are the first non-boots to appear!
I thought it was time for the leopard skin kitten heel boots to come out to play! Last day of work before the holidays and everything: the time felt right. These were the ones I was hankering after when I was considering the zebra-patterned pair from Day 2. I thought those ones might scratch the animal print itch, but they didn’t, so when there was a sale on at Kurt Geiger I used it as an excuse to get online and order these little beauties. Sorry Kate, still no flats … though as I write I am wearing some old trainers with holes in the toes as I’ve just been to the gym.
So I’m half-way through my ‘twelve days of shoes’ game and still on the cute little boots theme! These are a fairly new acquisition: I bought them from Poste Mistress in Covent Garden, my new favourite shoe shop (there could be another pair from there heading along at some point!). This dotty pair was a treat to myself after 6 months of being ‘at large’ and in business for myself. They are great fun and today am teaming them with a (fairly subtle) Christmas jumper for my Alliance meeting.
Today’s number: a pair of wine-red shoe boots decorated with two rows of buttons. They’re from Jones, I’ve had them for years and still love them and they’re the perfect match for the red wool dress I’m wearing. However, my first two clients today have cancelled so I may well be in my slippers at home for most of the day, before putting these on for a meeting later this afternoon! I’ve had a comment that this blog series is looking more like ‘The Twelve Boots of Christmas’ and that could indeed turn out to be the case. We’ll see!
