This is a totally sad and selfish one but.....
...I wanted these shoes to wear for my wedding:
I ordered a bespoke suit with the lining to match these shoes. Then I discovered they were out of stock in my size. Anyway, I settled on the same shoes in a light purple colour a size up but they were huuuge, then found the burgundy ones in stock in a size down and took a punt. They arrived this morning and they FIT!
Fuck yeah. Pimpin' deluxe still on course. They will be complimented by a three piece grey herringbone suit with red/burgundy paisley lining/waistcoat backing. Sooooo relieved as I had my heart set on these shoes and a classy suit to get wed in.
Funny, the other half found it a lot easier with an off-the-peg purple (non-wedding!) dress from L K Bennett.
