Garam slipper shoes from Monsoon

garam-shoes.jpg
With their leather soles and sequined uppers, these slipper shoes from Monsoon are in the style of traditional Indian khussa shoes. I love this style for wearing around the house, although they're pretty enough to make me want to wear them outside, too. At £30, these are more expensive than the khussas you can pick up on eBay and elsewhere, which you can usuually find for less than £10, so it could be worth taking a look at them in person to find out if they're worth the extra expense. You'll find them at Monsoon.
