RED SHOES - You either love them or hate them.
Personally, they are not something I wear very often. In fact to be honest I haven't worn them for years.

I think Dorothy from Wizard of Oz is to blame. She did for red shoes what Bet Lynch did for animal print. It doesn't matter how many famous, attractive super stars try the give the trend an up-to-date kick you still think Dorothy or Bet every time you don one of them.

Saying all that I did actually have occasion to wear a pair of red shoes on Saturday night.
I was going out to a tapas restaurant in Ormskirk called O'Este, and decided to wear a floral dress which was red and black flowers on a white background.

White or black shoes would have matched perfectly but I though why on go for red for a change.

After a quick glance at my shoe list (I'm so glad I took the time to number everything) and picked out two pairs. A jewelled pair of red satin sandals and a red court stilettos with scalloped edge along the toe line.

At first I went for the sandals, it is summer after all, but after struggling to get down the stairs without slipping out of them and breaking my neck, I decided to go for the courts instead.

They certainly looked the business, even if I do say it myself. But I was still glad I wasn't walking too far!
