I promise I will end all Acne-trip-talk after this post.  Though in all seriousness what else could I talk about this week when other highlights included a tasty Bombay Bicycle Club takeout meal and finding a £2 coin under my pillow (don't £2 coins make you feel very rich for some reason....?).  I really cringe when I hear people talking like it's their main goal in life is to collect fashion schwag or worse, that it is their RIGHT to have lots of fashion freebies.  I'm not really a goodie bag vulture either unfortunately.  Or, i'm just not very good at nabbing them in the first place.  If things are given to me willingly, then I'm of course happy to accept.  Asking though is completely out of question and even though friends gave me their jeans sizes, I just didn't really have the gall to ask...  In the end, these shoes, which were the last pair on sale in the Acne [2] store and thankfully in my size and they were something that I had spied from the SS08 lookbook yonks ago which I had wanted from the start, came home with me.  Yeah yeah yeah, could wear them with predictable short flippy skirts/dresses and a pair of black PVC leggings.  But on the feet, they do feel like a pair of 'granny wedges' because they're so comfy.  They're also the sort that I've seen many a lady aged 60+ sporting with pleated belted dresses and Members Only jackets....(yes, the grannies around here are my current style inspiration...).  So I've gone for my own type of 'granny' outfit with a mid-calf Boudicca dress with a heavy pleat at the bottom, the United Bamboo x Uniqlo dress and a Tim Ryan knitted cardi with huge exaggerated pockets....good for carrying an apple or two.
