Black Dorothy Perkins Shoes

OK, so I know this is only the second week and I should really go for really interesting, unique and quirky finds; at least for a time while it gets going, but I just needed a pair of black high heeled pumps. I don't wear heels a lot, and right now I shouldn't even be spending any money at all, and this blog is about great finds, not just focused on what I wear. All of these reasons are being shunned though as I simply needed black high heeled pumps. I had none. Which girl on which planet does not have plain black shoes? Is it only me? I have bought almost 15 pairs of Irregular Choice shoes over the last few years. I own sequinned red sparkly heels a la Dorothy on her yellow brick road. I fashion purple sparkly platform heels, of course! Luminous pink DMs, pvc and suede boots with a leopard print heel (admittedly never worn either), lace up boots, white 60s strappy mary jane's etc etc the list goes on. But, no plain black heels.

I think a good pair of shoes are hard to find, and price is not always an indicator of good shoes, although certainly more unique and intricate shoes have a higher price tag. However, I have a black and white zig-zag stripe pair of Irregular Choice which are exceedingly comfortable; I can wear them all night with no foot cramp whatsoever and much dancing and they only cost me £49.99. Which isn't cheap as chips, but for endless wear is pretty good.

These black and white shoes are going into my bargain find post before I have worn them, so I have to make a disclaimer on that note and be able to retract them if they are useless and fall apart or make my feet bleed (like a certain pair of black with white graffiti pattern rocket dog heels worn once and now only scowled at). However, until then I am going to put them in against these Rupert Sanderson patent pumps which at £310 don't strike me as anything unique asides from the designer label.









Oh, and these pumps are only £20!
