Today I went out (again) to look for shoes.
It;s been going on all week.
Tell, me people. why is it so hard to find a pair of shoes that are pretty, without being whoreish to wear out for the evening?
I found heels. Hundreds of them that were just too high for more than an hour of standing, let alone an hour of two of dancing. I found platform creations with bells and whistles. I found LOADS of strappy sandals that would give you blisters by the time you reached the party.
I must not be the only girl out there who is no longer accustomed to heels, and doesn’t want to suffer for fashion. I know, that when ladies my age get together at a function the subject turns, at some point to shoes, and unaccustomedness.
What I wanted, was a pair of metallic (or black) wedges with a not too high rise and a round toe ideally to wear to a very dancey party that is on tomorrow night. What I have, are a pair of completely flat sandals, which are beautiful but not ideal. They are supremely comfortable and will certainly get a lot of wear, but I wonder, if, at this party, an inebriated party-mate will injure me with one of the plentiful stilletos on offer at stores Melbourne-wide. I am quietly nervous now….
On a happier note, I scored this bargain.
A queen sized quilt in 100 cotton from this impossibly fabulous warehouse. It was $115. And having just made 2 quilts for my little ‘uns I know it would have cost me at least that for the fabric alone.
And bought these to further organise us. Because, you know, it’s day 5 and my house is still tidy. Whoot!
This may just be a record since having children…. 
Alright…you want to hear weird? Seriously, sometimes the way we do or experience the same thing at the same time freaks me right out!
I am on day 5 of a beautiful, decluttered house!
I kid you not…that is just WEIRD, but cool
YAY!
P/S Love the bed spread and the shoes, phooey to high heels, never wear them

Oh I hear you completely about the shoes. I’ve just been there. Except I wanted casual shoes that weren’t to be worn by gladiators, and nor did I want flip flop style.
I came away with nothing. Although, Seed are now doing grown up clothes and some of their shoes were nice[ly overpriced]. Never thought a Prada wearing she queen like myslef would ever say a shoe was overpriced, but there you go. I got older. And poorer.
I know it is a bit late but I saw the shoes you are after in Wittner just yesterday. They were a wedge in either black or metallic & the wedge wasn’t high at all. AND they had a round toe!
I am very conscious about wearing too high heels because I can end up looking gigantic. My friend is a shoe developer and guilty of putting enormous heels on her shoes. Just because she is tiny and can walk in them doesn’t mean the likes of me can!
