Sheer Pink Vanity

January sales are a great way to grab a bargain, while spending time with wonderful friends, connecting over shoes, bags and dresses. I braved the Yorkshire frost yesterday to venture out into the shops. Who dares wins! I found these beautiful Reiss shoes (which I have been eyeing for over a month now) reduced to £45 from £150!  When I saw them, lil me was squealing inwardly with girlish mental delight ^_^

I think it will go perfectly with my new Karen Millen dress.

I also learned yesterday that mustard yellow / gold is my colour! Didn’t buy the dress though. It had pretty bad scuff marks on the back and I wasn’t going to fork out £150 for a dress that made me look as if I parked my bottom on top of a gravel pit and then wiggled around a bit. Discount or no discount!

    What a great look, very feminine. Are the heels comfortable or is it more a fashion sacrifice? I can’t wear most heels b/c my feet are too wide :( Yet I still try to smash my feet into them haha
