And that is the best answer any girl can give the next time someone says:
'You have a lot of shoes already - why do you need more?!'
I realised after writing my first few entries with my OOTD that it may look as though I only own one pair of shoes...and I laughed for quite a while at that thought!
In fact when I was in my 3rd & 4th years at college, my friend Rowan nicknamed me Caligula - or Kiggy for short.
Those of you who aren't so brushed up on history I'll give a quick explanation -
Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus; was Roman Emperor from 37 AD to 41 AD.
The young Gaius earned the nickname Caligula (meaning "little soldier's boot" or "Little Boots".) the diminutive form of caliga.
I have tiny size 3 Feet (UK) and back at college I managed to go 3 weeks wearing a different pair of boots every day.
That's right - at one time in my life I owned 15 pairs of boots.
All shapes & colours! Now most of those have fallen apart, and I haven't quite got round to replacing all of them (yet!)
But I do have a pretty impressive shoe collection for someone with small feet, and lucky for you I am willing to share it - even the not so glamorous ones!
