Retro Footwear

The latest addition to my shoe collection was inspired by my love of 70's fashion, then again it may have been the 90's era.  If the 20 year trend cycle is to be believed, in another 20 years time I may well be citing the current decade as the reason I purchase something similar to my latest quirky footwear from ASOS

From the gold and black snakeskin patchwork exterior with the round toe design, to the circular dark wood, chunky block heel, these are my way of instantly adding a touch of glam and eccentricity to plain outfits.

With a 3 inch heel, I find these are the perfect height for allowing me to go about my daily routine without worrying about toppling over or having sore feet at the end of a long day. However they also give me enough height to keep a night time outfit fun and flirty.

Whether I've worn them with skinny jeans or an A-line faux leather or denim skirt, I love the fact my throwback inspired boots provide a bit of retro chic for day or night. Thanks ASOS!

More Black

For me, there is no such thing as too many pairs of shoes, even if they happen to be mostly black. As you can see from a small selection of my shoes, there was not really much need for any more in this colour, hence my most recent purchase being made with some hesitation.

However, these weren't black on black, they had a teeny tiny bit of something other than my favourite, most showcased colour in my wardrobe. At least, this what what I told myself in order to justify completing at the checkout of ASOS.

So here they are, the latest addition to my shoe collection.

Lucie Grunge Sole Ankle Boots

By Monki at ASOS, these are perfect for adding a little bit of height to my 5'4" self and providing something a bit different from all that the rest of my, all black, collection has to offer. These are comfy, great for running around in and look good too. I am happy to say I don't feel in the slightest bit guilty for adding more black to my wardrobe and can't promise there won't be more to follow.
