Undecided

After the last FO, I’ve been itching to cast on a new project as I’m only working on the 2nd sock for my Dad right now and of course, there’s always the UFO that I can work on :roll: but after staring at my stash, I knew I have to start something. Well, I have many ideas in my head, lots of plans actually. I have allocated patterns to most of my stash but the problem is, deciding which one to start first. I have been thinking about it since yesterday. Undecided.

I went and did some research on Ravelry today to help give me a head start and some motivation too. I also just noticed that I have about 288 projects in my queue list and you’d think I wouldn’t have any problems casting on a new project!! Still, when I got home, my head is blank. Undecided.

Nine West - Clare

Anyway, here’s a pair of my favourite heels and again, it’s from Nine West. I absolutely love their shoes (I’m pretty sure you know that by now). The only thing about this pair that upset me a little is the peep toe part. You see, my feet are pretty skinny. Therefore, they tend to slide forwards a little and my big toe does rub on the sides a bit which hurts a little after walking for quite a distance. It’s not unbearable, just a little discomfort. I know a lot of you will ask, why torture yourself?? Well, I once read somewhere that “If Shoes don’t hurt,they don’t have style” and I absolutely agree with this author!! :cool:

    Deb loves Nine West too, but they cost a hell of a lot over here.

    Can only buy a pair when needed, and not when wanted. :(

    I think those shoes look great. Like you said, even if it’s a little uncomfortable, no problem. Small price to pay!

    Nine West are pretty pricey here too. Average price per pair are around AU$ 149!! I only buy them when they’re on sale :roll: and that’s not very often!!

    But then again, if you compare to Nine West to either Prada or Salvatore Ferragamo, then Nine West are pretty cheap!! :mrgreen:

    I have skinny feet too. I have to go down a shoe size when they’re sandals or otherwise open (like peep-toes). That also means that many times my feet are rubbed wrong compared to what they would have, had they been a normal size. ;) But gotta love the shoes…! They’re fabulous.

    I hardly go down a shoe size coz if I do that, my toes will definitely be stepping out or the shoes won’t fit!! :???:

    Pick your top 5 projects, assign a number & then randomly pick a number – there’s your new project! Isn’t this a practical solution to your problem?

    Gorgeous shoes!! Glad you have decided on a new project: I am the same, despite all my fabric and wool, whenever I want to make a new thing I want to buy something new!!

    I buy some grip sliders that go in the shoe, so my feet do not slide forward – my shoes are always too big, so they are essential!

    Hmm yeah that’s a pretty witty “shoe statement” indeed. So my shoes aren’t too stylish then? :P Hahaha i’m really the type of girl who goes after comfort and not fashion but I still find those heels really pretty ;)

    Hehe. Sometimes I do regret buying certain pairs of shoes that are pretty buy uncomfortable because I knew I won’t be wearing them too many times :oops:

    The shoes are so cute! I love the print on it. I don’t wear peep-toe either because I have long toes. =(

    My toes are pretty long too. That’s why I only have two pairs of peep toes for now. Can’t wait for the cold weather now so that I can start wearing my boots!! :mrgreen:
