Not practical but darn they're pretty!

A couple of weeks ago, I noticed there was a recurrence of cut-out boots appearing on the blogosphere and astonishingly, I really wanted in on the action!

Usually, I'm a trainers or flats kinda gal but I have been determined to inject a bit more 'oomph' into my wardrobe starting from the feet up!

I got these babies from Primark for £18 and I'm super chuffed with them.


To me, £18 was a bit steep for Primark as I'm used to £4 ballet flats but if you look at similar styles on boohoo.com, missguided.co.uk etc they are all £30+.


They have a slightly pointed toe and the heel is about two and a half inches, which is more than enough for me nowadays! The boots are black but not a shiny black, they are distressed without being scuffed.  I like the pointy toe as my dumpy legs could do with all the elongation they can get! 


Most importantly, they are really comfy.  I wore these to have a walk around the International market, which is held on the first saturday of every month here in Aberdeen.  The boots managed to carry me around after a giant polish hotdog and some very sinful churros! I then wore them to a work conference held in Glasgow (I didn't get to do any shopping though! *sadface*) with no sore feet in sight!

The only problem with them, is that I might not get much use of them now that the snow has arrived in Aberdeen! 

Have you got a pair of bargain boots?

Have you had any snow yet this week?

One Jumper, Three Looks!

This is my first attempt at doing a board of things, so please bear with me!  

Last weekend, I bought a black fluffy jumper from H&M for £14.99.  I can't find it on 
the website anymore but I think it may have sold out online.  It was very soft and fluffy 
and I just thought it was so versatile because of the texture.  

With that in mind, here is my one jumper, three looks board! 

One Jumper, three looks!

I'll break it down a bit...

1st Look:
Black jumper from New Look but you can get similar in H&M or Primark for less £.
Floral Midi Skirt from George @ Asda, very similar to this one, from ASOS.
Black Heels from New Look, I always find their heels really comfy.

2nd Look:
Same Jumper.
Tartan Kilt from George @ Asda, similar to this one, from New Look.
Cut out Style Boots from Boohoo.com, these are really on trend just now, I picked up a cracking pair from Primark for £18!

3rd Look:
Same Jumper.
Floral Harem Trouser from House of Fraser, I own these and they are comfy but the pockets do distort the shape slightly.  Again, there is alot of floral leggings, jeggings and jeans going doing the rounds.
Black Ballet Flats, these can be found in most places, I like these because they are pointed, I think it may elongate the silhoutte a bit more.  Alternatively, you could use the heels from the first look for a cheeky wee date night look!

I hope this didn't bore you too much!

Have you found your winter wardrobe staple yet?

Hugs,

Jodi
