black leather buckle ankle boots c/o chicwish

the best part about winter dressing is that it suits lazy people like myself.. give me a few good knits and six million pairs of tights and I'm done. 

this jumper from chicwish fits just like I'd hoped; I love colourful prints so this was a real no brainer for me. it's soft, toasty and long enough to cover my rear... my kind of fluffy friend. 

the boots arrived just as I was leaving the house so I threw them on preparing for the saga of having to break them in... much to delight they're crazy comfortable (my feet thank you) I have an eye on a few other pairs including these cat face ballet pumps and some chain boots that might be winging their way onto my christmas list! the topshop bag is my current daily arm candy as it holds pretty much everything I can throw at it.. including a pineapple, a multi pack of crisps and 6 doughnuts (unsupervised trips to the supermarket never end well)

I'm off to cook dinner which will no doubt involve some skilled handling of the microwave, those ready meals don't heat themselves you know...

back soon!

triple layer tulle ballerina skirt c/o chicwish

bag: vintage

chunky cut out buckled boots c/o chicwish

so I managed to tick something off my never ending wish list.. a ballerina skirt! yes that's right apparently I'm still 8 years old. 

I've wanted one of these frothy concoctions for a long time and this one from chicwish didn't disappoint.. layers of princess tulle (I made myself slightly dizzy testing it's spinning prowess) give it maximum prom dress pouf appeal! 

call me crazy but a girl can never have enough fluffy jumpers? this one is pretty darn snugly, in fact I'm convinced it comes with it's own central heating as I managed to wear this a full day without uttering a single word about the weather... now that my friends is impressive.

the bag is a vintage find and the footwear are testament to my ongoing cut out boot buckle addiction! my feet also seem to like them very much so I'm not complaining plus I though the outfit needed a little edge.. it's all pretty girlie above the knee..

ps. I'm a tough cookie and more than prepared to suffer a pair of cold knees on a night out, that's right, the skirt has caused a 100 denier rebellion, those little critters are going nowhere near this outfit!
