Shoe Haul! (Primark)

Ah, it would appear that summer is finally on it's way in (fingers crossed)! I'm currently sat in the lovely sunshine on my back garden as I type this! However the other day I was looking through my collection of shoes, and decided I needed a little overhaul for the summer! There was a distinct lack of sandals in my wardrobe and as it appears to be time to banish the heavy black boots to the back of the wardrobe until autumn/winter, I decided that now was the time to fill the sandal/summer shoe - shaped hole in my wardrobe! So I thought I'd share my shoe-pping (see what I did there? I'll show myself out...) with you all!


Now all of these are from the wonder that is Primark! I am actually pretty impressed with the shoe selection in Primark at the moment, they all seem to be pretty good quality, especially for the price! The first pair I picked up were these gorgeous, metallic, chunky sandals! I think they're perfect for both daytime or evening and I love the way they're a little bit different to most summer sandals! The metallic straps made me instantly want them as they're so different and will definitely add something a little more interesting to a simple summer dress! I think these were £16 which is incredible as I can tell these are going to get lots of wear this summer and last me a very long time!
 





















They also have rose gold buckles, I honestly cannot get enough of rose gold whether it's in jewellery (all of my rings are rose gold) or shoes! The fact that these shoes also have two straps is great because it means your feet don't slip around in them when walking meaning no blisters (bonus!) and lots of comfort! These are especially wonderful as I have quite thin ankles meaning the majority of shoes in this style just look silly because they're so wide around my ankle but these fit perfectly! They also had these in white and black and I'm really tempted to go back to pick up a white pair!

I can't wait to wear these and think they'll look extra cute and quirky with some bright or pastel frilly socks with lace trim! Let me know how you'd style these in the comments?








The second pair of shoes I bought were a little boring compared to the rest...I simply needed a pair of plain black heels for work! I can probably also wear them if I'm going out for an occasion although they have an ankle strap and as I'm not that tall I'm considering cutting it off so that it doesn't make my legs look even shorter!
 





















The third pair of shoes I picked up fill the sandal sized hole in my wardrobe very nicely! They're white flats and will be perfect to take on holiday (especially as there isn't that much room for shoes in the caravan!) as they're quite bendy! They'll be perfect for daytime and casual evenings when the barbeque is out and the sun is shining! I didn't own any white shoes before these and I have absolutely no idea why because they go with everything and are bang on trend for this summer! 
 






















The fourth pair I added to my basket were a little similar to the first, a pair of black chunky sandals! They're sort of gladiator style -ish? I'd been after some similar to these for ages because they go with everything and make a plain outfit a little more 'edgy'! These were also only £16 making them a complete bargain and absolute must have! These also have rose gold buckles (I think I'm developing a serious obsession)!
























The fifth and final pair of shoes I bought, I am almost certain will divide opinion (both on here and in real life) but I absolutely love them! Any idea what they might be? 

 Any idea...?



 Still not sure...?



Go on, have a guess!



 Oh you must know by now?!






They are, of course, a pair of blue, sparkly jelly shoes! 


I know a lot of people don't like these shoes, I however very much do like them! I think they're different and cute and remind me of being a five year old again (which is always great!) I'm not entirely sure what I can wear these with yet, but I'm sure I'll find something! I think these will be best for daytime and they're surprisingly comfy so I'm not too worried about walking around all day in them! I am however a little concerned about getting blisters, because they're plastic, I have a feeling they might rub on my feet! I think they'll look cute with some statement/frilly socks though so that may solve the potential issue!

 Do let me know in the comments how you feel about the return of the jelly shoe!
Oh and also let me know how you would style any of these shoes/what you would wear them with!
I think my favourite pair are the metallic chunky heels! Do you agree or disagree?

I hope you've enjoyed seeing my summer shoe update!

Until next time, Cheerio!

    1. Aw I'm desperate for a pair of black ones...they'll go with so much more than my blue ones! If they do rub you can always wear some cute socks with them! ^_^ Have a nice day! xx
