Did you get the nailpolish there too? :eek: I've been wanting that one for awhile but barely anywhere stocks OPI, and it's so expensive in places that do.

Ah got it in Salon Services

ok cool! Thank you

sometimes I can get away with an 8/42 but these are just really, really tight on me, so I might bring them into some place and see about a stretching.

Can I ask, where this repair place is?

As I have a pair of flats that are too tight on me, so was hoping to get them stretched. How did this place stretch the shoe?

Someone once recommend putting a wet potato into the toe of the shoe and that will stretch the shoe, but wouldn't a wet spud leave a stain in the shoe? Or even leave the shoe wet?

I bought this skirt today in warehouse with 20% off because of some deal.

and I got this top in new look to go with it and a black vest top.

Now I just need brown wedges but I'm finding it hard to find a pair I like.

Most cobblers will do it. They have a machine that will slowly stretch the shoe, works better on leather than synthetic shoes I'd imagine. I'm a large 6, topshop 6 is too small for me, so i brought my size 6 flats in and now they're comfortable. Just don't expect it to drastically make the shoes a size or two bigger.

I got them done in the Parkway shopping centre in Limerick, but i'd say most shoe places would have the equipment needed. The shoe stretching only cost €6.00
I'm not ashamed to say I cried like a little girl when the shoes didn't fit at first
