Sheer indulgence

After my abortive attempt to buy these shoes when I was visiting Patrick in Leeds, they just had one size 4 in Hobbs in Birmingham, when I went into the shop on Friday afternoon - so I just HAD to get them... I didn't intend to go shopping, but my meeting at Birmingham University finished early, so I was just passing time round the shops rather than going all the way back to work. There was also an incredible pair of red shoes in my size, but I really could not justify spending over £200 on two pairs of shoes on a whim. But they will still be there after Xmas, and its my birthday soon[ish]...

In the meantime, a gorgeous pair of black shoes are sitting in the box, waiting to be worn. Although I have bought them for work, I will wear them to the ballet on the 11th, and some of the Xmas meals I have to sit through first.
