After reading on Hazel’s Blog about today, March 10th being “Rock the Red Pump” I knew I wanted to take part.
It’s an ‘initiative to raise awareness about the increasing impact of HIV/AIDS on women and girls and encourages ladies to take action.’
March 10th is National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day and all you have to show your support is don your red shoes for the day.
I don’t technically own any red pumps, and certainly not any that are suitable for my shift at work later, so I decided to split my day in two and wear red heels (in lieu of sensible shoes) this morning, then my usual boots (and smarter outfit) for work later.
There is something alluring about red shoes. I’ve always been drawn to them (ask my poor Mum about the tantrums over school shoes), but until I was sent this pair by Char I didn’t own any as an adult.
I’d not yet found a reason to wear these beauties, being little miss no social life, so today seemed just perfect. For wearing pretty shoes, and for raising awareness!
The Basic Outfit…made up of pieces at least 3 years old!
Are you wearing red pumps today? Or at least part of the day like me? (My work outfit later will probably be this...)

P.S. It’s the last day to enter my giveaway with MissyC bags!
I HAVE THOSE SHOES!!
And I didn’t know it was Red Pump day until now but I have to do lots of walking today (and don’t own red pumps) so no high heels for me! xx
Ooh fab shoes!
I had an outfit all planned out for today, featuring some red heels, but then realised I had to do sensible stuff outside at work and needed brogues and warm clothing instead. Dull 🙁
Love those shoes! I have several pairs of red pumps (of course!) so will definitely be rocking them today! x
ooh yay, glad to see them come in handy 🙂
i didn’t hear about this, so not wearing red shoes today, boo..
i love this outfit tho!! 🙂 xx
oh i love ur red heel ^^ i need more shoes 🙁
Cute shoes! I don’t actually have my red shoes with me, but considering I heavily donate to AIDS/HIV charities, I think I can be forgiven. Cute idea, but I don’t think I’ve seen any red shoes out today!
If I had known this I would have wore my red pumps to work 🙁
Lovely shoes. I hadn’t heard of this so I haven’t got any red shoes on today. I only own red stilletos.. do they count?!

I love red shoes so much. I have red high heeled sparkly ones, and red sequin flats and about 3 other pairs. I used to have a pair of shiny red party shoes when i was a little girl, you’re right they’re alluring.
I didn’t know about this today or i would definarely have worn some.
I wish i’d known about this. And those shoes are gorgeous *lust!*
Those shoes look amazing on you! What a lovely girl our Char is! xxx
I must admit I do love red shoes, I guess it’s partly due to Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz xx
Amazing shoes! I’ll wear my Dorothy-on-crack sprakly sequin shoes later round the house! xx
I didn’t know about this and have been out all day in my brown brogues, luckily you caught me before I trotted off to knitting group so will put my red heels on for that (and add a bit of glamour to proceedings!) xx
Thoses shoes are fab!
I love red shoes! I had to wear my flat ones as my favourites were far too high for work!
X x x
I would have worn red shoes if I had any clean clothes that would have matched them! LOL
Loving the outfit missy
By the way – Peacocks is 3for2 on everything at the moment… tempting!
Gorgeous shoes! xxx

Laura, I was just on someone else’s blog & you had commented them! Was very random!! Hope you are okay Lovely Lady, xxx
Those shoes are RIDICULOUSLY cute!
Gorgeous shoes Laura and the skirt is beautiful. I was indeed rocking the red pumps today, little polka dot trainer pumps. x
I don’t own any red shoes! I adore that skirt though, the print and shape is just too cute.
Fab shoes! I own a couple of pairs of red shoes but don’t wear them nearly enough. I need to dig them out!
love your skirt and shoes – if i’d known about it i would definitely have chucked on a pair of red heels 🙂 x
Wow I love your outfit. Such a gorgeous skirt.
xx
I love those shoes ! And that skirt is lovely 🙂
love that pretty skirt w/those red shoes!
Cool idea! I know I’m a day late but i’m going to wear my red shoes tomorrow just for this. They definitely won’t be pumps, nor will they be heels (can’t walk in them for the life of me!) but I will definitely sport a pair of red flats that I have. Does that count? 🙂
I’m LOVING your red heels though. Especially with that cute skirt, you look killer.
Eeee, your skirt is so folksy and beautiful 🙂
They’re soooo sooooo pretty but too high for me-my feet are wincing at trying to get at that angle!
Love red shoes too! You made me laugh with the red shoe tantrum comment! I remember really really wanting red jelly shoes, aged 5 and making my mum go on a wild goose chase round all the shoe shops in our area! They didn’t have any in my size anywhere and I ended up with some nasty blue ones which I detested because they left horrid inprints on my feet, sulking everytime I wore them because they weren’t the afore anticipated red jellies!
Didn’t sadly wear red pumps but could have done if I had known!
(BTW the skirt is beautiful!)
That skirt is lovely! & this was such a good idea! I would have worn red shoes too if I had known!
