My Dublin Shoes

I thought I'd introduce you to some of my favorite shoes.

I don't have a ton of shoes here. Eventually I will have to fit all my clothes into a suitcase to return home, so I try to keep a modestly-sized wardrobe. But on occassion I do indulge in a girly treat for the feet. :)

First off, I should be honest and tell you that about 99.5% of the time I wear either ballet flats or Chuck Taylors (observe):

When I'm out on the town though, I like to throw on the trendy heels. And I've been known to purchase some pretty intense heels. :)

Dublin girls are really into their their trendy heels (I looked for a trendy-heeled-Kate picture but couldn't find any. I think that's reason enough to plan a night out soon!) . I have fallen for some fads hook, line and sinker, despite the agony they put my feet through somtimes.

Here are some of my favorite going-out-in-Dublin trendy heels:



First off, the boots! My 4" ankle boots from Office. And yes, I wear them with skinny jeans or leggings! Get on board Americans, it is a cute look! :)




My satin peep toes. Kaitlyn helped me pick these out last Christmas. These usually get worn with black tights and a skirt or bare legs and a minidress. They're torture on the feet though and once led to a pretty nasty fall on the cobble stone street! Darn cobblestones! :P

The newest acquisition: Fuscia alligator-print platform stilettos. I wore them out the other night with opaque tights and a white mini-shirtdress. I LOVE them!!! They were a pick-me-up purchase, and I have to say they really did the trick.

I thought I'd show you these too. These are my 2008 Detroit heels: my Babyphat leopard print fur wedges. Not yo mama's going out heels. I like to wear them with a pencil skirt and cream blouse with baby blue jewelery.......Okay, full disclosure. Sometimes I just throw them on with my pj's while I do my dishes and laundry. Never done it? It's an easy way to make yourself feel sliiiightly more glamorous, and get you motivated to get dressed up and head out. And it gives your flatmate something to laugh about too, so everyone wins. Hehe

Siiiigh. That's it! I've got other heels but their not half as fun, just basic black, grey, brown ones. Oh and knee-high brown suede BCBG boots. I guess I could have shown you those. One day I'll have a big ol' American closet that I can fill with lots more fun shoes, but for now I get a real kick out of throwing on one of these and heading out into the Dublin nightlife. :)
