Some shoes are pretty
Some shoes are sexy
And some shoes just make you happy.
But rarely can one pair be all three.
I procured these beauties in Edinburgh at the Fringe Festival 2 years ago.
And I have loved them dearly ever since. I ogled them everyday for nearly a month walking to and fro past the shop window, before I convinced myself I should at least try them on. (secretly hoping I would hate them.) Bad idea! It was love- instantly.
To be honest, I could go years without ever ‘needing’ a new pair of shoes.
But they were even prettier on, then in the window. Polka dots are synonymous with fun.
I blame my fabulous friend Nita for re-introducing me to the magic of polka dots. They are simple, clean yet so joyful and quietly elegant. Much like the daisy of the flower world. Eternally a bright happy flower.
What I didn’t realize initially was their sexy aptitude.
This, like many great finds was a hidden bonus, discovered in the wearing.
So three cheers for pretty, sexy, happy!
