Bambi Heaven: The Shoe Challenge

This is an answer to the challenge sent by Sofia in her blog.

Me and shoes - we have quite special relationship. If you tell about me to my former or current colleagues the first association is the number of shoes next to my desk. In my previous job i stored them in the open office's floor and in the current I got own room and I can hide my sins in the closet.

I own very different shoes but I include only spring/summer season into this post. My needs in shoes also have changed during 2 pregnancies and after them so I have gathered some pairs that I wore just a few times and need to get rid of. My shoe collection definately needs a revision in the near future and hopefully they get a nice storage space in the new home.

1. My newest addition are Marimekko Converse (which I already wrote about) but before those from s/s season are these textile shoes bought on a whim 2 weeks after I gave birth to Leo from Brandos - "for office", you know. It was a very "logical" step, I admit, but now I have them. My second pair of textile shoes ever. I guess I fell in love with zigzags. Bought to wear with "everything" (skinny jeans, LBD).

2. My favorite shoes. Must be these (second textile ones) Ted Bakers - my wedding shoes. I got them by mistake. I was ordering them in pink color thinking pink means subtle pink shade but when I opened the bright green Ted Baker box at the office I saw these beautiful salmon pink stilettos. I did not doubt a second whether to return them. And they made a great centerpiece in my wedding outfit. They have also been to Elle and received a lot of comments on the event and online.

3. Favorite color and size. Anybody who reads my blog and especially knows me also knows the favorite color - purple. I have some purple shoes as well. My next dream is to get red stilettos.

These are bronx heels I bought last spring, "for office" :))

And these Julie Dees I got about same time to manage through the last weeks of pregnancy but they are quite cute otherwise for a day off.

My size is the smallest female size - 36 and I am sometimes lucky to grab sample pairs or to find something nice in junior departments.

4. For how long do I wear my shoes? there are some shoes i own for 5-7 years. But I tend to quickly get bored of shoes.

5. Shoes I would never wear? These crocs sandals, even though they are so pretty purple. I have Crocs rubber boots yes and my children have Crocs shoes but these are not my thing...
