Welcome
to my series ‘This Love Month...’ in which I embrace February as the month of
love and valentines in tiny, heart-shaped doses.
I’ve never been one to embrace
Valentine’s Day by wearing red – whether top to toe, or combined with
black/white/any other shade. I always
thought of it as an either/or situation: you’re either in or you’re out. And I was usually out! This year I challenged myself to have some
fun with it, to be creative and incorporate the ultimate symbol of love – the heart-
into my look.
What better way to start with the
hearts than with that which leads straight to mine: shoes! When I saw these gold and red sequinned pumps
on the shelves I knew that it would be taken for a spin once, maybe twice a
year at most. Yet I still had to have
it. I put it down and went about my
business, coming back to the shoes every 10 minutes – fitting it on, examining
it from all angles. I decided not to buy
it and walked away. Problem was, the
shoes were in eyesight of the checkout line... and clearly we know how this
story ends.
I love my impractical yet
cheeky, fits me like a glove while killing my calves, pumps. I love seeing them on my shoe shelves every
day. I love the message they send: “Yeah,
I wear my heart on my shoes!”
