The reason

I love shoes, and I can't bare to see them perish. When the buckles on my wedding shoes started to rust I thought it's time to do something about it. From now on the shoes might be gone but the appreciation continues!

Christian Louboutin Pigalle Bazin pumps 100mm in multicolor patent

Another pair of Pigalle. The multi-color orange print is actually more difficult to pair than I thought.  Jeans or black i think. :-) Official color is pompadour. Buy half or one size up.

Aquazzura Linda sandals 100mm in orange patent

So bright and so orange but so cheap! It's interesting what people (or just me) would buy in a sale.  They were almost 80% off so I thought why not have something fun and colourful, just in case.  Have worn them once since and liked the fit.  Also love the straps and they way they tie, which is similar to the wedges Karlie. Will try to pair them with jeans actually to get more use of them.  Friends please ask me out to drinks and dinner more!  True to size.

Repetto Camille block-heel pumps 35mm in orange patent

At long last I found a pair of Repetto at the outlet in my size and in the color which I like!  They are obviously another find for my current block heel obsession.  They go nicely with cropped pants or jeans. Buy half size up.  Love the shallow toe compartment and the snug fit. Hope they are as comfortable as people say they are. Official color is Kiss.

Zara sandals in orange microfibre

Against better judgement I took a chance on Zara shoes once again.  They seemed harmless enough and I thought they would be fun for the summer.  While they are not painful to wear luckily, they are rather uncomfortable to walk in.  And the slingback straps keep sliding off.  They have been sitting in the closet as I can't get myself to put up with difficult shoes anymore.  True to size.




Ipanema sandals in orange and gold

These sandals have become my best friend over the summer.  They are so comfortable and easy to slip on and off.  I wish I had bought the other colour. Buy half size up.

Alexander Wang ankle strap sandals 100mm in orange leather

I am a still a little unsure about these shoes.  I love the boldness of the design and the colour.  I feel like I am making a statement when I wear them.  I do feel a little self-conscious when I have them on as they are not really me.  They are so loud!  It's good to try something different, right? Buy half size up.

Christian Louboutin Marplesoft 100mm wedges in orange patent

I found these in the sale.  I am not usually a wedge person but I wasn't going to say no when the price was good.  Love the vibrant color and shape.   They don't seem extremely comfortable even though they feel well supported by the wedge heels.   I will try to wear them and report back.  Buy one size up.

New note:  had them on and walked for the day.  No problem at all except for minor toe pinches towards the end of the day.  Maybe the patent leather will soften up more.

Rupert Sanderson Hong Kong 100mm in orange patent

Another pair of Hong Kong without the 23K gold heels.  They are still very stunning and the shade of orange seems to change depending on the lighting.  I love the interesting softer, candy-like color.  Love Hong Kong!  Buy half size up.

Ferragamo ballet flats in orange patent

Love the color - it's so much fun. And I thought it would be challenging to find things to match them but they proved to be a lot more versatile. Buy half size up.

Manolo ankle straps 95mm in orange leather

I suspect these are made with lambskin as they are the softest leather I've seen. Love a few things about these: the intricate strap design, the contour-cut ankle straps, and the fact that they fit like gloves. The darker orange shade makes it pretty unique but still easy to pair with different outfits. True to size.
