Shoe lust

Hey!
I got some important uni work done today so I'm feeling pretty good! Please excuse the scruffy hair, the fringe needs a trim and I needed it out of my face today;

I took the advice of Demi and wore this dress with some red tights (which annoyed me all day by falling down, but it looked good, I just need to buy longer tights!). I swear the dress shrunk in the wash though as it seems shorter than last time I wore it...
The (possibly shrunken) dress is from New Look, the cardigan and shoes are Topshop, as are the tights and the socks and bangle are H&M.

Yesterday's outfit was all about the snow and preventing wet feet and coldness! It didn't work too well, however, I suppose vintage boots with messed up soles are not the most waterproof thing ever...

I wore these vintage boots with my thickest H&M socks and New Look tights. The skirt is also from H&M, the jumper-dress thing was a gift and the wolf t-shirt I'm sure you all know is from New Look!


Yesterday my order from tightsplease arrived, I had ordered two boring but neccessary pairs (navy blue and grey) and a lucky pack, because I've been curious about these for ages! they cost £15 and they say you get at least £30 worth of stuff but since you have no control over what it'll be I suppose it is a bit of a gamble!
I ended up with a few useful things though, a thick pair of brown tights (which I wanted anyway!), sheer black tights (I used to hate sheer tights, but they're growing on me...), sheer nude tights (which I didn't have and are useful as I can't bear to have naked legs), quite cool Pamela Mann toeless knee-highs (in a slightly gross colour!) and these little "invisible socks" to wear with heels!
Remember the Balmain knock-off Aldos I wanted? Well, I found a cheaper and actually even nicer alternative via Jak and Jil, apparently these are from Zara? I may have to go and hunt for these babies tomorrow...

ps I just bought this hideous dress on ebay...am I wrong to think that if the diamantes can be removed it may be quite a cute Spring dress? Or am I mental? We shall see...
