The Shoe Shakes

Oh God, I literally feel as though I'm going to heave. I involuntarily (seriously!) clicked onto Topshop this morning (it's right there on the tool bar; my cursor just goes there all by itself every day) and they had the shoes. The shoes I've been dreaming of for weeks, since I first saw them posted on Style Bubble. There they were, available to buy. My brain disconnected from my hands and I found myself clicking Add To Bag, putting in my details and bam! I'd bought them. Yes, I'm not supposed to be buying anything right now (I've just bought a new computer; I'm going away for a few days soon; I have to pay for the cat's booster shots this month)... Yes, they're too expensive, really... YES, THEY DIDN'T ACTUALLY HAVE MY SIZE!! But clickety-click, I bought them anyway, in one size too big (Goddamn you, Topshop, I'm a 38 everywhere else, why am I a 37 in your shoes?!)
Okay, so I'm rationalising this unplanned purchase thus: a) I can actually afford them. I don't like the dive the figures on my bank page have taken, but financially, it is okay; b) I have a wedding to attend in the spring for which they will be perfecto, and of course I would have had to have bought some shoes for the occasion at some point; c)I'm pretty sure the sizing won't be that out - I'll stuff cotton wool in the toes if I have to; and d) they're so pretty!
It has to be said, also, that they are not the only totally killer shoes they have right now - it's a dangerous place to browse onto today, that Topshop shoe section. (The Emma Cooks are amazing).
So, here they are. So beautiful. So giving me the shakes.

I'm so off to barf now.

EDIT: In an act of attempting to appease my concience, I've popped a few bits up for sale on Ebay. If you live in the UK (sorry, can't post abroard), please check them out. Only a couple of bits right now, but more things will appear in dribs and drabs over the next few days.
