My signature shoes revealed


Around the beginning of November @KosheenShoes found and followed me on Twitter. Never having heard or seen them before I didn't check them out until about a week later. 


Then a series of tweets followed. 


Then followed  a bunch of excited tweets, me showing a few friends and workmates the shoes. All were affirmative that they were more than worth the money.

I could hear their whisper getting louder. 


...and louder still. More friends and online buddies encouraged me.

The whisper became a loud insistent voice. Constant.  Until the day before the "Anniversary of my 29th Birthday " arrived......


My Mum even said they were "me" and yes perhaps worth the money. 

I shot off an email to the website and asked where I could get these beauties from. 

An email arrived in my inbox within minutes. Only two stores in Sydney and a few online places. So I checked two of them out. One store had only one pair in an 8. The other one had a size 7 and a size 8.

Dilemma.

I am a size 7.5

So I quickly emailed the website again and asked for their advice. Meanwhile I saved both the 7 & 8 in my online shopping cart and waited. 

And waited.

And waited.

*sigh*

Ok. Not as speedy as before. What to do? What to do?

I called the store in Western Australia that I was buying them from and asked for their advice on whether these shoes run big or small. 

More proof that these shoes were meant to be mine? The sales girl that answered the phone was a 7.5 herself and said she would try them both on for me and check. 

She told me the 7's would be perfect for me and yes, they are indeed wonderful :)

Thank you Indulge Clothing. Fabulous customer service! 



They arrived yesterday. Now before I begin the reveal let me remind you of a few things I love...

# colour blocking
# blue & aqua
# comfy platforms that don't make the ball of my foot burn in heat searing pain
# ankle straps that don't make my sturdy calves look like the ends of a sausage
and 
#bows

These shoes are meant to be mine :)







Contrasting shades of blue & aqua :)







*sigh* Love.

Can't wait to show them off in person and feel like a supermodel ;)

  3. Very gorgeous shoes. I love looking at shoes, but have feel like I am walking on glass if I have anything with more than a 1" heel, so I'll just continue to admire yours.

  4. Those are amazing shoes (that I could never walk in). I would just have to sit in one place with them on my feet and stare at them.

    I tried going to your other site but it said there were no posts :(
