Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby Shoooooooooo

Taking inspiration and styling from vintage designs, Ruby Shoos are both gorgeous and oh so sophisticated. I fell in love with them a couple of years ago having seen other vintage lovers like myself wearing them but only purchased my first pair in January to celebrate landing a new job, happily in a shoe shop selling Ruby Shoos amongst other delights.

Ivy

I spotted these stunners when I went for my interview, one pair left and in my size, and I promised that myself I would treat myself if I got the job. And so started the obsession. I personally find that these run a little large though nothing a half insole cant fix. The red upper has brocade detailing with a plain red trim and the statement bow on the toes making them the perfect statement shoe, something I love. 

Hazel

The second pair of Ruby Shoos I purchased, my Hazels were a treat for passing my first month of probation at the new job. For me these fit true to size with no assistance. While not as dressy as the Ivy's, these are perfect office or smart shoes and are great for a semi casual event, I wore mine with cropped black chinos and a blouse for an event recently and was happy standing in them for long periods of time.  

Dee and Tanya 

These shoes barely even made it out of the delivery. I was enabled by my manager who allowed me to unpack the boxes with the new season Ruby Shoos in. Mistake! As soon as the delivery was unpacked, I had found my size and was trying them all on.

The Dee are super cute in the gingham and oh-so on trend this season as well. The fit of both these shoes for me is, again, perfect; perhaps I need the ankle straps as so far these seem to fit me better. I have worn the Dee all day at work with no issues at all, stairs and all. The lower heel makes them incredibly wearable. 

My Tanya's are another statement shoe, and matching bag (ooops!). A real case of love at first sight I knew these had to be mine, Red is my favourite colour and I love adding pops of it to my outfits. The blue and white zebra style print makes these great fun to wear. I went out for dinner recently and wore the shoes and bag with a red striped t-shirt and white circle skirt, smart casual and wonderfully comfortable.

My love of Ruby Shoos expands with every new collection they bring out, and I have a feeling my hoard of them will too. Shhhh, don't tell my better half!
