I'm going to a wedding. This will be the first as a bona fide, this-is-it-for-us couple in front of my DP's pals. We got engaged and this is the first public show, although obviously it's not going to be made an issue of.
I'm at least 6 years older than them. And 12 years older than the bride. I know this is not important at all and no-one will be looking at me, however, for the first time ever I want to go and look put together, and everything be right. Usually I'm a heeled-docs-and-charity-shop-rose person. But I have bought a nice dress which I can't afford and have a nice bag and I can't find the right shoes. Or fascinator come to that.
I've picked two, some navy blue clarks wedge peeptoe slingbacks, because I could wear them for work afterwards, and, y'know, for £50 I haven't got, I need to make them work for the money. But I can't help think that wedges are not enough for this dress.
So I found these Office asymmetric nude courts, which I like, but I'll never wear again. Can't walk to work in them, heels'll be destroyed.
If anyone's in the mood to find me leather mid heel shoes that'll do this dress justice and that I can walk to work in 10 mins each way afterwards for around £50 I'll be eternally grateful.
Or just come down on the side of either of my picks because it's next Saturday and I really need to get something!
