Primark shoe haul

Hi Guys!

Sorry I went awol. June has been a bit intense. I will resume my two posts a week in July.

Lets keep things nice and light with a shoe haul post :)

I've gone a bit crazy with shoes lately.

These are three really simple basic pairs that form a great base for everyday outfits.

In typical Penny fashion I have a pair of double ankle strap pointed cut out shoes in black and in white. Really 'on trend' urgh but classic at the same time. These are great to commute in as they are flat and easy to walk in, and the straps keeps them on my feet when I'm running for the bus.  They were from Primark and really sorry can't remember the price - either £8 or £10.

One con - my ankles are totally bruised. And sometimes bleeding (sorry!). But to be fair that's probably cos I have fat ankles. 

These are my £3 loves! Three bloody pounds!!!!!!

You might remember my bad Converse experience and ever since selling them I've still been on the hunt for a simple pair of white lace ups. And I think I've found them. Like the Converse they don't fit very well, but at £3 a bit of shuffling is totally acceptable. Really thin sole and moderately low cut - looks great with skinny jeans et all. Really happy :)

Haul - Converse

Hi Guys!

Ok this post is long over due. Basically, I finally got my hands (feet!) on some Converse.
I went for the classic white ox. I gt them in size uk 6 (European 39) from asos and they cost approx. £40-45 (I got mine with a discount). 

I have wanted a pair of Converse for literally years, maybe a decade but for £40 they're not really 'me'. When would I wear them? What would I wear them with? What handbag do you carry with trainers? Can you wear as much eyeliner as I do and then wear white Converse? Drag queen on a day off? So many questions. 

An asos discount and the realisation that I'm getting old and if I didn't get them now I would probably die without ever owning a pair of Converse( dramatic much?) convinced me to part with my money, and go casual on my feet. 

And? I hate them. They bloody hurt. 5, 6, 7 - none of them fit me. Pain. Pain Pain. They don't fit my wide farmer's feet and they don't look god on my hippo legs. They don't go with my handbags or my eyeliner. I'm not cool or casual enough to wear Converse. I look like a very clean tramp wearing these - I don't have that cool, nonchalant blogger look that I was aiming/wishing for (you know what I mean). And seriously, they hurt!!!! :(

I'm glad that I got the Converse craving out of my system. I'm really happy I only got one pair, cos boy you know me I was ready to get them in all the colours, in the dainty and in the high top. They hurt within 2 minutes of putting them on so these may stay fresh forever. I'll probably put them on ebay, but I'll keep them n my life for a bit longer, so that I can hold onto my youth for a bit longer!!!
