Red Shoes

Tattydevinedorothy The most recurring and oft-blog-quoted shoe imagery goes to Dorothy’s red sequinned shoes in Wizard of Oz and whilst the shoes themselves have always seemed too obvious a thing to go for (and also because me and red don’t really do well together….), wearing a pair around the neck would probably be a better option.

I have a thing for all the Tatty Devine collaborations; Rob Ryan, Gilbert & George etc… and whilst I’ve never really craved my own Dorothy red shoe moment, it is very cute that they are celebrating the arrival of the stage version of Wizard of Oz at the Southbank Centre by making this red shoe necklace.

Now I’m just contemplating whether to go see the show…. whilst wearing the necklace of course…

  1. I think you would look awesome in red! You just need to find the right shade. I think a dark burgundy would look really well against your skin tone.
    Oh, and the necklace is super cute, too!

  2. They may be a bit obvious but I don’t care I love red shoes! The necklace is a little bit twee for my liking though.

  3. i think that in the wizard of oz book dorothy’s shoes are actually silver, not red.

  4. You know, as much as I love red shoes, I’ve never really fetishized the Dorothy shoes (or look, for that matter). This, however, is really cute.
