A Woman's Right to Shoes - Day 4

So, what is it? Spring? Summer? Autumn? Winter? What are you going to do weather? Rain a bit, be sunny a bit, rain a bit more...

And what are these?! *Wedges? *Platforms? *Flatforms? What a confusing Tuesday (Monday?) this is.

I'm not even going  to go on about these, they are B.O.R.I.N.G. but they're not going in the sin bin because they are comfy as hell and I can pass them off as any of the above* as they all fall in and out of fashion.

To go with my boring shoes (from Office btw), I am wearing black trousers from Topshop and black and white striped top from Primark - you know I like to carry a theme through.

A Woman's Right to Shoes - Day 3

This might be the least glamorous shoe blog in existence. Thanks to more Manchester rain, today I wore my Hunter wellies.

These boots were such a good buy - and luckily I got in there before they became the must-have welly and prices doubled.

They've seen me through Glastonbury 2007 (mud bath), a bit of Glastonbury 2010 (specifically, the bit by the water tap/toilets/waste disposal) - if only I'd known about these in 1998, I might have stayed for more than 2 nights and my Nike Air Max's may well have featured in this blog.

Not just for festivals, I've survived 2 lethal winters (best grips ever) and today, a rainy walk through Lyme Park.

For my bank holiday country stroll I thought I'd channel Madonna circa... haha, yeah right, today this blog is being brought to you by a lady who, this morning, ran through Manchester in her wellies and some of her pyjamas shouting 'Ole! Ole! Ole!', to imply I'm channelling anything other than 'needs must' today, would be cheating.

So with my wellies, I wore a jacket by Timberland which is tweed and waterproof (I know what you're thinking, 'MAGIC' and you'd be right), top from French Connection, wooden heart necklace from a charity shop, cashmere cardy from my mum and jeans from Zara.

A Woman's Right to Shoes - Day 2

Well, I didn't need comfy pumps yesterday. Thanks to Graham, aka @grahamburglar, and Murph, aka @murph82, I had a seat and thanks to Barcelona, I had a slow, quiet walk home.

With it being May bank holiday, I was hoping to be frolicking in flip flops today but it's been raining, obvs, so I dug these out:

I'm a sucker for an ankle boot, these were from Kurt Geiger in Selfridges, I really can't remember when. Probably when grey was the new black, or something.

High enough to make me feel less of a shorty, low enough to do a days work and testament to the fact that you can take the girl out of the 80's but, you know.

I figured I may as well go all out. Dress from ASOS, belt from charity shop, leather biker jacket from the kids section on Ebay, bag Miu Miu - as before. I had accounted for the rain, but I hadn't accounted for the gale force wind so sorry, Manchester, for the indecent exposure.

A Woman's Right to Shoes - Day 1 of the Shoe Challenge

If you already know me, you'll know I am Beki Rymsza owner and Knitter in Chief (totally self titled) at Wheres Me Jumper. This blog isn't about knitting though, for now, it's about shoes. Inspired by Rosalynn, or @rozfashionista as most people know her, I'm taking a shoe challenge.

I don't even want to think about how many pairs of shoes I have tucked away in wardrobes, cupboards, boxes and drawers. Most haven't seen the light of day for actual years so, I'm copying #rozsshoechallenge and wearing a different pair of shoes every day until I run out, or I get bored, whichever comes first.

I won't deny I am clinging on to some fashion disasters, this might even force a few pairs out of the door.

So, day 1. I'm going to begin modestly and honestly. It's not all about glamour, is it?

Today is Saturday and most importantly Champions League final day so I am in my trusty Converse. I plan two journeys today, one to Sainsburys for some food and one to the pub to watch the match. I'll need some comfy pumps to survive 7 hours on my feet and then I'll either need to run home crying or run round town shouting gooooOOOO FOOTBALL!

They are a disgrace actually...

I tried to get a new pair last week but they'd ran out in my size...

My comfy Saturday outfit also includes jeans by Gap (they were black once), See by Chloe tee - I only picked this for the red stripe, my nod to football without going overboard - Vivienne Westwood denim jacket and Miu Miu bag. I know double denim is O.V.E.R. but I'm clinging on, so hard, I added a third layer.
