If you know me, then you’ll notice I don’t really faff
around. I don’t like rushing and it’s rare that I’m outwardly stressed about
things. I of course am inside sometimes, but I think my exterior shows calmness
and a chilled demeanour. Maybe too chilled. Like a half-baked Sloth.
Well today I wasn’t me, and in the opposite words of Beyoncé,
I certainly wasn’t ‘feeling myself’. I’ve been making scatty and irrational
decisions. I frantically called up American Apparel this morning and ask to put
a million jeans on hold, I went by to try them all on and then didn’t buy any
of them. Instead I spent an obscene amount on an unnecessary bodysuit. Because,
yeah I really needed to invest in a semi sheer American Apparel bodysuit,
instead of new jeans. This jean trying on frenzy led me to not only break a
sweat, but to be late to meet my friend. I also decided before leaving the
house, that not bothering with dry shampoo was a cool idea. After all, greasy
roots are really in this season. You know, that wet look… The list of strange
behaviour goes on.
Anyway here I am hanging out Notting Hill, acting like I’ve
got it all together. Please ignore my grown out greasy roots and focus instead,
on my lovely sparkly boots. Firstly I LOVE sock boots, high rise yet tight
fitting around the ankle makes for the ultimate flattering shape. Public Desire
have brought out these affordable babies in a lovely sparkly material. I opted
for a rich navy, as an ode to my beloved Topshop sock boots that I wear to death.
Wearing layered over jeans like I did here, is super snug
and gives a seamless and slick finish to your outfit. But I love these with
bare legs too, so are perfect with sweeping maxi dresses with a thigh split and
what not.
In case you have been under a rock, then the cold air is
here! So it’s time for the old sheepskin jacket to come out of its coffin. The
coffin being a dark place where all my winter clothes go i.e. a box under my
bed. It’s vintage of course, and pretty standard. I usually like to stick to a
70s shape but mine here is more 80s. They are the warmest of coats, so a true
investment piece and a great staple for your Autumn/Winter wardrobe.
