Polly's Got A Shoe Competition...

Well, I've been away for a few days, not in real life but here on the blog! After a ridiculously long disappearing act I promised myself and anyone daft enough to want to read my posts that it wouldn't happen again...

So, I've been hellishly busy with admin work for my Scout Group. After a short summer holiday we're due back this evening. I've been e-mailing registration & group application forms to parents in the hope that they'll print them down and return them this evening completed. Hopefully they'll do exactly that and the usual chaos of the first night back will be reduced dramatically.

I've also lost my mobile phone. Or should I say I left it at my Assistant Cub Leader's house after a brief planning meeting. I also left my reading glasses and my wallet, in fact the whole of my handbag and its contents! What an inconvenience. It would only be a twenty mile round trip to collect it, but I'm sorry guys in this day and age there's no chance of that happening when I'll be meeting up with her again tonight.

I've been like a man without arms since I mislaid the blessed thing. I've been forced to clear my desk off so I could send webtexts and e-mails to the parents and other members of the scout group, my family and the Offaly Dyslexia Group. Oh, and I've also been suffering with my body again! This time it's principly my back, but it's been bad enough to prevent me from attending meetings and having to make my feeble apologies...

 a Rafflecopter giveaway

Now just to lighten the mood I've just entered a competition and so can you! It's a fantastic prize and if you enter it and don't particularly like your prize I won't object in the slightest if you give it to me!!! Yes, ladies it's a pair of shoes! Not any old shoes though, it's a pair of Claremont 1930's Vintage Oxfords... (aren't they to die for?)

Would you like a closer look? So would I, so please think of me when you enter the competition as these shoes are well and truly my style. When I'm not busy being a scout or slouching around in jeans I love to dress nicely, preferably wearing shoes which are similar to these...

Actually, my dress style is somewhat schizophrenic as I'm a great advocate of comfort. I often dress purely for comfort which means there is little evidence of style, one way or the other it's more a case of dressing down rather than up. However, if the occasion requires or I feel like it I'm just as likely to appear fully made up and dressed nicely but comfortably!

I love it when people take a second look at the other side of my dress sense. The shock in their voices and the fact that it makes me feel like a million dollars, it's so gratifying. It's comical, to say the least. When I'm not wearing a pair of jeans or hike trousers I can usually be found wearing styles which may be current, but take their inspiration from vintage fashions.

Be the eighties, seventies or forties I love to 'dress up' as you can tell from this St Patrick's Day Parade photo...
