Booty-licious!

A few days ago, I went into a shoe shop - Emporium (4 floors of shoes - 3 for women and 1 for men) and sought out a pair of ankle boots. I have already spoken of this mission before and believe me, what a mission it was. I saw nothing I liked on both the first 2 floors but seemed to have a hint of success on the third. They were by Mollini; black, platform, had a gloriously high heel and were low cut enough that my ankles would not be covered. However, I wasn't quite sure if they would translate well as work-wear. Consequently, I chose not to buy them at that point.

Something I had bought previously was there really dinky pair of 2-toned Mary Jane's from Charles & Keith in Singapore. When I was there in December last year, I fell in love with a pair of light grey and white ones and when I was once again there in February, I swung by the outlet in Changi Airport. I had tried on countless pairs of shoes and in the end, bought the same thing only in black and white (though I really should say off-white for both). These I wore yesterday with with tights and I thought they looked really cute. Although I have to admit that my foot slides forward a bit too much, causing my left big toenail to be pressed up against the top of the shoe. Makes it very uncomfortable after a while.

Anyway, I was suuposed to stay on later at work yesterday as well, so I decided to actually go out for a lunch break. This means I go out and shop, though this was only because Scott had a meeting on and wasn't able to join me. I stopped in Valley Girl first and tried on quite a lot of chunky knit cardigans. Somehow, nothing seemed right. Though I have enough of those anyway, and really shouldn't even be thinking about buying more. I wound up buying a lovely cotton floral summer dress, though it looked hot with tights as well.

The next (unplanned) stop was Zu and in there I saw this pair of black ankle boots. Once again, they were not a shiny patent, they were at least 4" if not more, had a decent platform, were neither too pointy nor too round, had this cute little gold zip detail on 1 side, were low enough around the ankle and most importantly, were in my size. Though this doesn't mean much, given its still going to be a bit big anyway. Anyway, I tried, I liked and I bought. I'm planning on bringing them into work on Monday, just to wear in the office itself (I'd wear flats on the train and walking to work) so I can see what the wearability is like and I won't be scuffing the soles and can still return them if I chose to. So yeah, now there's just those tan boots to procure.

I did see a nice pair of cognac ones in Zu though. Oh, the possibilities...
