Magic Shoes were a massive hit at the end of the 80s, every girl wanted them and most in the end owned them. Unfortunately for me not only did my parents want me to wear sensible shoes (patent shoes got damaged easily and always had to be replaced) but they did not do these in a wide fitting, so I couldn't have them : (
I spent a lot of my time growing up not getting shoes I wanted because they were either not wide enough or not big enough (I was a size 6 by the time I went to secondary and have now been a size 8 for yonks).
As some of you will know from my other blog, shoes have become slightly more important in my life in recent years (they do nice ones in my size, I have more money than when I was a teen and my interests have changed).
Anywho, I was going to a wedding reception the other day and was originally looking for a nice new dress in TK Maxx, but couldn't find what I was looking for. I went to have a quick look at the shoes and saw the most amazing glittery silver ones - picture below.
I decided not only because they fit, looked great and would go with my outfit, that I would buy them, but also to fulfil the dreams of my younger self, who never got those magic shoes she wanted (they are also rocket dogs, so quite comfy : p)
They are not red so I won't be saying "There's no place like home" at the end of a long night, but they have filled the void and made the 7 year old me very happy : )
