The Fashion Faux Pas of Gabrielle An unconventional fashion blogger trying to find her place on the internet

Cute, cheap but smelly shoes

09/01/2016

This week I’ve been pulling old shit bits from my wardrobe and running through all of my social media posts to find my fashion faux pas’ of the past and present. However, inspiration for this post started with the lads at work finding my old Youtube channel. After the usual lad banter that always follows something embarrassing happening (it’s bloody exhausting!) I thought, what better place to look for a fashion faux pas than my old Youtube channel?!
I’ve inserted the link to the video I found which led me to write this post below (if you watch, check out that bloody bronzer on my face!!);

smelly shoes
And these bad lads were a combination of cute (well cuteish, I thought at the time anyway), sweaty and smelly.
When it comes to shoes, I’m unbelievably weird about what I can and can’t wear. There are so many factors I take into account when shoe shopping like; how high is the heel? How well supported are my ankles? Will I slide around if my feet get sweaty?
I can’t wear high heels as I have this weird anxiety thing where my legs tremble and I also twisted my ankle a few years ago. I was sitting on my feet doing some sketching for college on my bed when I decided to get up to go outside for a cheeky smoke. I stood up, not realising that my foot had gone numb, twisted my ankle and fell into the wall. Goodbye high heels.
I’m pretty sure that most people will be able to relate to this post. I feel like the smell of some shoes is the additional price you pay for getting a bargain.
Every year I always manage to find the cutest pair of shoes at a bargain price which a few weeks down the line end up stinking to the high heavens.
There have been tons of pairs over the years and the ones I get most heartbroken about are the bargains which were a teensy bit more expensive than I should have been prepared to pay. I remember a  lovely pair of black boots from Topshop which were £50 but I got them for £30, I tried washing them in the washing machine, adding some Shake n Vac inside (stupid I know) but I eventually had to bite the bullet and send them to the bin shed downstairs.
But, we live and learn. It’s these experiences that define our personal style and I’m really enjoying looking back at mine.
Until next time…

Thought I’d make another appearance on here sinc Thought I’d make another appearance on here since it’s been over a year since my last post, so here’s one from my Tiktok #sustainableootd #ootd #vintedfinds
Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise birthday outing last night, although I’m definitely feeling it today! Love you both loads ❤️❤️
So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve been working and saving away with this gorgeous man to make sure that we could buy a house and we’ve only gone and done it! We’re now in the process of fixing it up and getting our bedroom ready to move in to, so hope we can get in next week! I’m going to be sharing the whole process on our Tiktok account which you can follow @thealbonrenovation - the first post on there is just a video showing the whole house as it was when we bought it on Friday (it’s changed a lot since then!) - so give us a follow it you love a bit of home renovation! 🥳🥳 #firsttimebuyers #newhouse
When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear ❄️ what a week it’s been! I’ve been shivering away, heating on full blast and my dressing gown wrapped around me as I work this week - I love the look of snow but hate the cold! Had a day of hypochondria where I had a cough and was convinced it was Covid - but turns out my husband knows me best and that it wasn’t. And that’s probably the most exciting bit of news I l have for you all! How are you all doing?!
Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time between posts as I have been in the last few months, so I think a couple of weeks is an improvement! On our way home from food shopping last week (highlight of the week!) we decided to stop by one of my favourite spots to take some outfit photos, where the majority of what I’m wearing is second hand (bag, jacket and jumper). I’m getting extremely stir crazy, but at the same time have turned into quite the hermit, I miss going out for lunch with Aaron, mooching around the charity shops and going out to do site visits for work - let’s hope this vaccine helps bring some normality!
And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to make myself feel like I was going somewhere tonight by putting a full face of makeup on, with the intention of sitting on the sofa sharing a bottle of Disaronno with Aaron to see the new year in! We might hit up the kitchen, the living room and Aaron suggested the bathroom but I wasn’t sure 😂 what have you got planned for tonight? And Happy New Year to everyone!
And that’s Christmas over for another year (alth And that’s Christmas over for another year (although let’s be honest, 2020 may as well not have happened!) and I just hope to god 2021 is a damn site better for everyone! Since I’ve been attempting to cut out purchasing brand new clothing all together, bar a few items such as underwear and pyjamas, I’m hoping once Hertfordshire is out of Tier 4 that I can head to the shops and do some serious secondhand shopping and use the vouchers I got to buy myself some new beauty bits. How was your quiet Christmas and have you got any beauty recommendations for me? #hertsbloggers #fashionbloggeruk #ukfashionblogger #ukstyleblogger #hertsbloggerlove #sustainablefashionblogger #secondhandfashionblogger #petitebloggeruk #petitefashionbloggeruk #outfitinspo #mylookoftheday #ootdshare #ukfashionblog #petitestyle #hertfordshirebloggers #funkyfashion #ukfashion #ootdinspo #canon700d #canon #amatuerphotography #aspiringfashionblogger #aspiringblogger
