Style By Numbers

Today I tried to go to M&S to take advantage of the penny bazaar, but instead got distracted in the shoe section. Behold, my new birthday shoes*

Footglove Leather Lace-Up Shoe Boot €60/£45

M&S Leopard Pointed Court Shoes (€20/£15)

*Every year I like to get myself a birthday present from myself, because if anyone knows how much I deserve a gift, it’s me! Plus I had some winnings from a wedding speech bet.

Leopard print shoes are totally self indulgent and wonderfully suited for this birthday girl. I have wanted booties for, like, ever but haven’t found any that are comfortable. The stack heels on these will work for when I’m at work. My husband is totally anti-booties, but I’ll convert him yet. Looking at the prices in Sterling, I wish I’d gone into M&S while I was up North.

PS: This is yet another reason why I won’t being q-ing up for the Jimmy Choos at H&M. €60 is about the maximum I want to spend on shoes. And if I do, I better be able to wear them a lot.
