Published this earlier today on Instagram, it’s a relief that basically copy-pasting your own work/thoughts is not stealing. Just making it easy for an exhausted brain and body on a Friyay summer evening.
This post will be similar to the previous one, random photos from the past month and thoughts to explain. Plus sprinkles of my beloved cherry blossom season á la 2026. Because when I again managed to upload photos to blog, why not add some extra pink beauty? You can never ever have too much of that, right? Right.
Just like the previous blog post, I will take it slowly adding my thoughts, and hopefully write the finishing sentence on Sunday. Welcome back then.
But first (before I get my beauty sleep - ha - can we take a little giddy #friyay moment of praise and gratitude for these shoes (that arrived at my door step last night, after a long laboursome travel from Poland), please!
As I wrote recently, my search for a classic pair of black loafers in non animal-derived leather had been in vain since I got those beauties prior to Easter and the had to be returned as they did not fit. I then tried getting a second hand pair on Vinted. Despite having been pre-used (but in fantastic condition) they didn’t fit me either.
I used to be a shoe size 40 for most of my adult life. But 15ish years ago I reluctantly accepted size 41 would make more room for weather related feet changes. So that has been my reliable size since then. Never ever have I been forced to go up a full size (not even in sneakers).
But apparently (vegan) loafers are a whole other story! 🤦🏻♀️
So I give you a gorgeous lavender purple pair in size 42 🙀 And even if they do need a little inner sole for truly perfect fit, it was such a breeze and relief to finally feel the footsies slide in fairly effortlessly like this!
A true shoe bargain from a Vinted seller in Poland, and I’m so happy I went for them! As ling time readers know, I’m definitely no fan of the colour purple, but I have a very soft spot for lavender dreams, so these shoes are summer perfection in that aspect too. 💜
They may not be of everyones’ taste (and I know they look like something a gangster from 1980ies Miami would wear *well hello there Miami Vice/Don Johnson*!)
but for a true dopamine dresser like me, they are true perfection ✨✨✨✨✨
I took them out for a spin today, as the weather has cooled down (phew) considerably, to see how they felt and which adjustments I have to make for them to work for my 🦶🏻🦶🏻
I can now announce they were just as comfy as they initially felt. However that extra inner sole is a must, because feeling and looking like a human size Daisy Duck is never a good look for a human…
To be continued.
