277 days to go: Little Black Boots



Check out these fantastic boots I picked up from the post office this morning. I won them for £7.00 on eBay. They are from Zara and a lovely patent leather. AND they possess that perfect mix of style, height and comfort.
I may well sleep in these tonight.
The boots determined what I was going to wear today.
The turquoise M&S dress (eBay) looks great with black.
The t-shirt is from Primark, the belt is a year old and from Wallis.
The necklace (again) is from Accessorise, the tights from Tesco and the bangle is my daughter's ( a holiday gift from my mum and dad).
The only problem is the new to me clothes need to make some memories before they will become true treasures like yesterday's cardigan.
I wore that cardigan to La Manga for a great couple's holidays for my husband's 40th birthday (2005). I also wore it to one of the best Christmas parties ever at my friend Joy's when we sang Karaoke until the early hours (2006). In 2007 I wore it to a business meeting when one of the high-powered lawyers I was writing a press release about whispered "I love that cardigan" when the po-faced partner left the room.

290 days to go: These boots were made for walking




When I was a baby the Nancy Sinatra song, "These Boots Are Made For Walking" was a huge hit. My dad tells me he used to tuck me under his arm and stomp around the room in time to the music singing the song to me.
Perhaps that's why I've always loved boots and I love these boots. I got them in the Whistles sale marked down from £160.00 to £39.99. They are a soft navy leather with a round toe and a high enough heel to look smart but low enough to walk in them all day.
Today's pose/look is inspired by Jessica at What I Wore.
I found an old cardigan from tesco, a new to me Ebay swap dress from Tu and my purple snakeskin belt from ASOS.
The sunglasses are from Tesco.
Tonight I'm off to my friend Pauline's to catch up on gossip with the girlies.
Hope you have a great Friday night.
