Ok, I give in... I have been clinging on to my sandals and pumps and, well, summer. But I will concede that this weekend has been a little bit nippy.
And I deserve 2 slaps on the wrist. 1. for buying some new shoes (boots actually), I appreciate this isn't the first time this, um, week and 2. for wearing the same shoes (boots) 2 days in a row.
I bought these in TK Maxx and the brand is Infinity.
I don't know why we do it, but we all like to brag about a bargain don't we? Fifteen pounds, lovely leather, comfy as hell and heels/soles that even I can't wreck in a hurry.
I wore them yesterday with jeans from H&M, that took me about an hour to get on - biscuits are the new cigarettes, top from TK Maxx, red leopard print scarf from a charity shop and leather jacket from River Island about a hundred years ago. I know, I don't know what was going on either, I did have a fever later on - that and this outfit may be related.
Today I wore them with dress from All Saints, cardigan from TK Maxx (they've been doing well out of me eh?) and heart pendant from a charity shop.
By day, and sometimes all night, I am self titled Knitter in Chief at www.wheresmejumper.co.uk but this isn't about knitting, for now, this is about shoes. I don't even want to think about how many pairs of shoes I have, most haven't seen the light of day for actual years. So, I'm wearing a different pair of shoes every day until I run out, or I get bored, whichever comes first.

A Woman's Right to Shoes - Day 19
Ok, last pair of flat pointy pumps... for this week.
Another very old pair I just can't part with. These were a gift for my 20 *cough*th birthday (it's not just the shoes that are getting old).
I chased these shoes round every Kurt Geiger shop and concession in the country and ended up ordering them from Harrods. That's pretty posh when you're a student, you know? I kept the wrapping for about a month.
With my yellow pumps I wore jeans from H&M (my fold up bag is from there too), t shirt from All Saints, jacket from Primark and Miu Miu bag, as before.

A Woman's Right to Shoes - Day 18
This looks like a bit of a paranormal blog post - excuse the blurry pics. It was early, I think me and the camera had about the same amount of focus.
Since digging out my navy Kurt Geiger pointy pumps, I've been on a bit of a roll this week.
These red pumps are from Office, a long time ago.
That's better...ish. They're red, snakeskin and frilly. What a combination.
With my snakeskin pumps, I wore jeans from Zara, t-shirt from Asos, cardi from my mum and my ghost hand.

A Woman's Right to Shoes - Day 17
Ah, my old favourites from Kurt Geiger...
They are years old too - but they still don't seem to be showing any sign of wear, other than they just get comfier.
Apparently pointy pumps are 'in' again too, so refusing to part with anything, ever, has its (f)advantages.
With my Kurt Geiger pumps I wore chinos from Urban Outfitters in Montclair, NJ - which isn't important but it was such a fun day that I thought it deserved a mention - stripey top from a catalogue seconds shop, belt from charity shop, satchel from a car boot sale and jacket from Vivienne Westwood.

A Woman's Right to Shoes - Day 16
I feel like I don't need to tell you where these shoes came from...
But just in case you hadn't guessed... Give us a Z, give us an A, give us an R, give us an A! Yes, ZARAaaaa. Maybe if I can't get officially sponsored I should join, or start, Zaraholics Anonymous.
I've actually had these years and dig them out every summer (I am still clinging on to summer by the way), I've even tried to buy 'replacements' that are similar to these as these shoes have had it really, but they're just not the same.
With these shoes, I wore a Top from Zara and jeans from Mango - again at ridiculous Spanish sale prices. My belt is an old M&S men's leather belt, from a charity shop.

A Woman's Right to Shoes - Day 15
Day 15 - that's a lie. What Beki actually did was abandon her blog for weeeeks! But I'm back and ready to play catch up.
Can I stick with day 15 though? Just for simplicity's sake? Thanks.
Originally, I was planning on just working my way through my existing shoe collection but unfortunately, I have no will power so these babies are newbies and all the way from Spain.
I managed to time my visit to Gijon and Oviedo to catch the end of the sales and picked these up in Zara - obvs. How do I get officially sponsored by Zara?
With my new Zara shoes, I wore my new Zara top and my new Mango leggings (I found a Mango outlet in Gijon) and my bag is from River Island.
