I was re-organising my wardrobe last night, and was searching through the mountain of shoes, when I discovered I was missing a vital pair! I don’t mean they had been nicked… but as in I had never owned a pair.
I’ve never owned a pair of pure 70’s platforms!
Par exemple-

I guess 70’s platforms came to mind as I recently watch Forrest Gump… again! And this scene stuck in my mind…
Not because I’m obsessed with suicide in any way or form! God no! But because of her shoes, the scene focuses on her feet quite a bit and I couldn’t help but notice the heels attached to them!
I never went through the 70’s platform phase, I’ve always been a bit tall to pull off platforms without dwarfing others! Actually I did purchase a pair a few years ago, but i can honestly say I’ve never worn them. They’re so heavy and I know after a few drinks I wouldn’t get very far! Although maybe a reason for handsome men to offer their help, but still, way to clutsy!
So I need to own a pair that I’m actually going to wear.

These would be perfect… except they’ve already been sold! Don’t you hate that!
Ooh what about these? Found them on eBay.. one of the best places for vintage heels! Maybe I’ll place a bid on these babies!
Well I guess I’ll keep looking and in the mean time, just dream!
You don’t have to watch it all but I definitely recommend it!
