For the love of leopard

I got so many messages and questions about these loafers that I thought I would address them with their own little blogpost.

I'll start with the important information first. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SIZE UP.

If you value your feet at all, do not, repeat do not, order your size.

I think my feet died a little when I first squeezed these on. They came up so impossibly tight that I had to check whether or not I had made a mistake and ordered a 4. No, they were a 5, they were just so BLOODY SMALL.

As time has passed they have loosened up a tad and I predict in about a month's time they will be an ideal fit. This all sounds a bit too much work for a pair of high street shoes but….do you know how rare it is to find a good leopard pointy toed shoe that doesn't cost the earth? As someone who categorises herself as a stalker of said shoe type I can tell you, it's really friggin' rare.

The print is nice, the quality good…it's just that the fit is a little off. This is definitely a shoe to buy in store where you have an opportunity to see if you fit the slipper, Cinderella style.

I like to wear them with a slightly cropped jean. This pair are also from Topshop (#notsponsored) and are what I would deem a plebby fit. Medium wash, medium rise and straight leg - they make a nice break from impossibly skinnies and unflattering boyfriends. I will also say that the denim is a very sturdy, reliable quality. I am kind of sick of having a saggy arse after wearing lycra-laden jeans for a few hours and pleasingly, these have a good strength and stiffness to them that avoids that from happening.

I am VERY excited as I write this post as I am just about to start packing for my mini break. I need to pull all my exciting white, black and grey clothes and figure out what last minute washing needs to be done. The husband has suggested that we share a suitcase - LOL! What a joker!

See you soon! :)
