Trend Watch: Which shoe are you?


Which shoe are you? Wedge, ballet flats, slingback, stilettos, sandals, thongs, ankle-strap? And the list goes on.

If I was to describe what shoe I am, it would definitely be white ballet flats with flowers on top. Oh wait, I pretty much described my wedding shoes. Well, almost.

Now don't get me wrong. I love heels. I particularly love the feeling they give me when I walk into a room - they give me confidence, plus I feel tall. The only reason I prefer not to wear them is because they give me back pain - sad face.

Shoes can say so much about who you are. When I showed my wedding shoes to a select few people before my wedding, they all said, "Oh they're so you".

And it's true. I love bows and flowers. I recently bought a pink skirt from Forever New with a massive bow on the front. And then I matched it with a pink flower in my hair.

When I got back from London, I received so many comments about the two pairs of shoes I bought at Top Shop (cute London store by the way). The first pair were a beige colour with flowers on them and the other pair are black, strappy flat shoes with a line of pearls running down the middle.

When I wear these shoes I get so many compliments, even from people who would never wear them because it's not their style.

That's the thing. When you define your style, there is a confidence that just pours out of you. I always feel so much more confident in situations where I am comfortable in the way I dress. I like pretty, girly things so that's what I wear.

So next time you put on a pair of shoes, ask yourself, what do my shoes say about me?
