    I wear my button IC shoes to work sometimes (mostly the days I fall over :o)they have no grip whatsoever but the soles are waaay too pretty to scratch for grip. Who sees the soles of your shoes you ask? You never know someone walking behind you up the stares. who cares??!! I know they are pretty!!
    I have IC boots for special ossacions (*ahem translates to not at all comphy so I can only do a couple of hours at a time. That's a special occasion right?):D

    So many Irregular Choice shoes pop up in the Latest Purchases thread and I have to admit, I've never seen anyone out and about actually wearing a pair.

    Do you save your IC shoes for special occasions?

    I need a new pair of heels! I have a super high pair black pair, but they're just too high for every weekend, and my Vivienne Westwood Melissa pair are too special! My go to black mid heels are gone a bit haggard, and I don't want to be wearing my black shoe boots into the Spring. So now I'm thinking is the time to get some ICs! I love attempting to justify new things.

    Also, does anyone have any problems trying to enter the NUS number for UGG item's on Asos? Whenever I try, all I get is this message:


    Normal delivery is selected.

    I don't have any myself (yet!) but my best friend has at least 11 pairs and she wears a pair almost every weekend, if she's going for dinner, pub, club, wherever, always Irregular Choice! :) She has tonnes of really cool and weird pairs, the more extraordinary the more she loves them, she brought some to the cobbler recently and he said "What are they" and calls her Cinderella now :)

    I bought a pair of IC's for my 18th, four years ago now :'( Similar to these. I think I wore them twice! I've gone off the kitten heel and they have baby blue bordering and just don't go with my style anymore. I can't bear to part with them. I'll probably sell them on eBay this summer. :(

    I wore mine to my Nana's 80th birthday. Waiting for the perfect dress to compliment them for a night out though!

    I adore your pair Sibylla! So pretty!
    I'm having the same problem Tomissex they are so unusual it's difficult to find a dress to compliment them. I'm thinking if I can match one colour that's pretty exact it would work. :)

    Same! I could just wear an LBD but I don't want to! It just seems so bland compared to the shoes!

    Ams you might like to check out fabric-dreams.co.uk

    Also:fabrics-by-yard.com

    and: Online-fabrics.co.uk

    It seems the shipping to Ireland is 13.50 regardless of weigh twith fabric dreams and about a tenner per shipment with online fabrics, although I need to double check that, sounds too good to be true!


    Thanks Im gonna check those out now!

    I got a quote from minervacraftsandfabricsuk on ebay yest (they have a really good selection) and it would be 8.99 to ship about four metres which I may do. The only thing about it is that its so hard to judge what the fabric will be like from online!

    Fabric-dreams will send you three samples of fabric for free and then it's fifty cents a sample there after, I ordered about 6 yesterday to see if they're heavy enough. POstage is a flat rate regardless of weight which rocks, seeing as you can buy by the roll too!

    Does anyone know if Asos stopped offering student discounts on sale items? I'm trying to get a dress and it won't work!

    I think they have cos when I added sale items to my basket and then logged in to add the discount, it said the item's weren't eligible for the discount, so I tried a non-sale item and it was eligible for the discount.

    They also recently changed the student discount form 10% to 20% as far as I know, so that could be why they've stopped the student discount on sale items.

    See this post I made here and those UGG's were in the sale which is why I now think the discount couldn't be applied to them.

    yeah the models on the site are meant to be wearing size 8 but she's got to be a 6. The stuff just hangs off her in everything.
