>> Do you remember those days when a 50p scrunchie made out of some sheeny shiny lame fabric would cheer you up? No, actually, I don't recall those days and I'm not sure many people did get much joy out of a scrunchie. With my abundant mane, no flimsy scrunchie is going to secure a ponytail. However, I did get SOME minor joy out of these hair contraptions, yesterday when in my local chemist (not Boots/Superdrug...an ickle chemist...the type that only sell two types of shampoo and really really old lines of L'Oreal make-up...) when I picked up these black and white heart-cut-out scrunchies for 99p and used them as a solution for keeping these Emma Cook S/S09 ruffle shoes developed from previous seasons but used from slipping off. I bought them at the sample sale a few weeks ago, attracted by the copper-y satin and had intended to get some elasticated grosgrain and sew them on as straps. But then my old friend procrastination struck. That old chestnut again...
Oh well, I have the trip for indigestion tablets to thank for these temporary shoe straps that paired with my stripy stockings, faintly remind me of the Ascot scene in My Fair Lady.
