Dress: Next
Tights: Gift from Char
Shoes: Bertie c/o Sarenza
I featured these shoes on one of my many Sarenza wish lists a few months ago and when their sale launched I decided I HAD to own them, despite at the time not knowing when on earth I’d get to wear them. As it happens the timing was perfect as shortly after they arrived my foot was well enough to start strutting around in heels and once it’s a bit stronger and I know exactly what is going on I’ll be living in these! I loved them paired with these flower pattern tights which were a gift from Char and my old faithful Next “work” dress.
A few people have asked about my foot lately; basically nobody is exactly sure what is going on but the consultants I saw think I have something called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (or CRPS) which is a neurological condition. I have to say the hospital were fairly useless but my wonderful GP has started me on a medication called pregabalin which has worked wonders at getting me mobile again by blocking the pain signals. I still have some pain which the medication hasn’t touched. I went for an ultrasound yesterday (yep, a Sunday) which showed my tendons are intact but there is some query about a smaller muscle/tendon injury that won’t show on anything but an MRI so that has been suggested as a next step. I’m almost past caring now I can walk, what will be will be and nothing is going to stop me now.
I think we should all take a moment to celebrate the last week in January; the most depressing month is almost over and although there have been some blue moments, on the whole 2013 has got off to a cracking start and I feel hopeful and excited for what the rest of the year holds.
How has the year started for you?
Tell me about your current favourite shoes…these Bertie beauts are mine of course!
That colour really suits you and I’m pleased your foot is now (sort of) on the mend : ) x
Your dress is lovely! I’m dying for the weather to get better so I can pop on pumps or flip flops!! xx
Really like this outfit on you Laura, you look lovely! Ah your foot must be really annoying, atleast the painkillers are helping and your walking on it now though! I’m so glad January is nearly over, been such a rubbish month for me! xx
I love those shoes! Fingers crossed you’ll be able to wear them as much as you’d like soon. xxx

I absolutely adore those shoes and tights!! You look lush in the dress <3 and the dress is lucky to have you to wear it :)
My current favourite shoes are – queue granny moment – are my slippers. Boots, furry, with pom poms. What’s not to love?
2013 started feeling positive, like I was on the brink of big change. but has descended into chaos and confusion. Still, there is light at the end of the tunnel, so it might work out alright in the end…
Love this dress on you x
You look INCREDIBLE, I adore all the parts of this outfit!
