As a shoeaholic, these beautiful babies have been a favourite that I can honestly say I have worn to death.
Specifications:
Brand: Christian Louboutin’s
Height: 5″ or 12.6cm
Colour: The most beautiful red (That’s what they call it)
Purchased: Designer Archives (Brisbane)
They were second-hand, yes second-hand and they were virtually not used. I can only assume either whoever sold them must of have not been able to walk in them or not been comfortable in wearing patent red leather peek-a-toe pumps.
Either way, they made me feel my natural 6”7’ and I loved every second in them.
Favourite moments
So many, Fridays in my favourite jeans and a nice jacket.
A stand-out moment
Going up a flight of stairs at Amberley RAAF base with a lady in uniform commenting, saying how much she loved them but she could not walk in heels like that and in response, she got a lesson in how to walk in seriously high heels.
So, now for the shoeaholic to confess.
I went to throw these out, wrote my post and my inner voice has said. I can fix them!!!
What is wrong with them you ask.
The cork on the back of the heels is peeling off. A couple of “You Tube” videos later and I have worked out how to repair them. Right! (I know – for all the right reasons, they are gorgeous and keep them until I move on the boat) Wrong! (I know – for all the wrong reasons, start throwing things out now. You don’t have enough room the boat).
So I sat on this post and my shoes for over a week. Since then I have repaired two other pairs of shoes… and a belt… LOL.
Where to now?
Still thinking about whether to repair them or not…
This week progress to down-sizing
SOLD – my gorgeous red leather office 3 seater and single seater. Bought by a young man in his 20s for his new apartment in the city. The man has taste. And I am happy they have gone to someone who feel in love with them.
TRASHED – Two pairs of flats… (easy)
REPAIRED – Two pairs of shoes heels… and a belt.
PURCHASED – A new backpack. Easier to carry my laptop on and off the boat… I will write a review on it – it is seriously a brilliant backpack.
