White Converse

Sometimes I find myself on a quest. Weather it's for the perfect black skirt (bought from Cos a couple of months ago) or a white t-shirt that I can wear with everything (Hanes beefy ts), occasionally the space in my wardrobe is apparent and i'll shop specifically to fill it.
One of these spaces has been clear to me for a really long time, years even. Many moons ago when I worked in Office, Converse came out with an all white high top, even the eyelets were white! Being young and stupid I dithered around and when the time to buy came, they were gone. Subsequently I bought a pair of ecru high tops with cartoons all over them, which have faired me well over the years but have never taken the place of a simple pair of 'blanc en blanc's'.
I've searched high and low for them and finally they have come out again (happy days) and proved why they have been the missing link in my wardrobe for so long.

See...

The shoes- No longer with white eyelets but they still fill the gap.

They don't stay white for long... I like to wear them with ankle socks by Falke in navy, beige or cream.

Horses Hoof Shoe

I am fast becoming obsessed with black lace ankle socks, if I see a pair I have to buy them. I think they look really chic and dare I say, 'whimsical' when teamed with ankle boots and shoe boots (see above picture). It's a bit 'too much of a look',( as my Auntie Wini would say) to wear them with court shoes (unless your going for the Harajuku look) but with bare legs, a great dress (short looks best) and your Horse Hoof shoes, you'll be looking FABO!
