Retail therapy


I treated myself to these today. £40 from TOPSHOP. I love them one minute, but then feel slightly undecided. I think I will have to wait for them to arrive, to see them on my feet. I lived in my brown leather gladiators last summer, and they are still intact, but I fancy something that's abit more of a statement now.

I think my main reasons for indescision over them is that fact they are mainly black, and being a redhead when I'm not fake tanned I'm very pale skinned indeed. Black shoes on pale feet is not flattering. I ususally stick to golds and browns for my sandals which are much more flattering for my skintone.

Of course, during the summer I am pretty much fake tanned constantly, but still the thought of black leather against my white feet is not attractive. I REALLY LOVE THE SHOES THOUGH.

Oh wow, yes, I love them too.

If they still have them when I get back I may order some.

Not sure that will make you feel fondly of them though cos I am ancient compared to you.

I had never really thought about black sandals and pale feet. I am sure they would look fine. The thing about gladiators is that a lot of the foot is covered anyway so I am sure they would look fine.
