These Shoes Do, A Kind Of Voodoo . . .

Monday 18 March 2013

I could not be happier that boyfriend jeans are back. My old ripped up 501's are one of my fave things in my wardrobe but I usually feel like they're a bit of a style cop out because they're so casual, but I've seen loads of pics of them rolled up lately (including some of our Queen Gwen) so decided to have a crack at it with my new red boots from Parmar Shoes (£25 in the sale!).


Outfit: Jacket - TK Maxx, Scarf - Becksøndergaard, Top - Wildfox, Jeans - Levi's 501, Boots - c/o Parmar Shoes, Socks - Urban Outfitters, Bag - M&S, Wolf Necklace - c/o Maggie Angus, RAWR necklace (worn on hip) - c/o Tara , Dior Street Chic lipgloss (worn on hip) - From 2002.



I'm in love with these boots! Parmar has some really cute styles at awesome fast fashion prices. I took a bit of a chance because there is no image for the red version on the webby but the black looked cool so I thought I'd take a chance on an unknown kid. I wore them for the first time this weekend on a walking heavy shopping trip and they didn't even rub - hurrah! And aren't my socks the bomb?! They're 2 years old from Urban Outfitters, so if anyone sees any like them around please tell me, though I'm sure they'd be easy to make!



I ummed and ahhed over wearing this Becksøndergaard scarf with the red boots for fear of looking like Captain America but I think it works, there's just the right amount of stars n' stripes to get away with it! Fave necklace alert. It's been a while but the Maggie Angus wolfie is joining us again!



Tara got me this amazing RAWR necklace last year and I really wanted to wear it but my neck was already too busy, so I had the idea to drop it from my hip seeing as my Dior Street Chic was already hitting up the other side. Always thinking. 



An OLD favourite. This is my Dior Street Chic lipgloss from 2002. I've worn it for over 10 years and it's STILL going. I've never used the lipgloss inside it, I just make sure it stays pristine because it's such a cool accessory. There was lots of negative noise about this on release because people thought it was a bracelet and that it was poorly designed as it didn't sit right on the wrist. They clearly didn't have a clue as it's obviously a belt accessory and has served me well as such for many moons. I have loads of these limited edition Dior lipgloss treats, over the years they've appeared as bracelets, necklaces, keychains and ring, but this one has always been my fave because it's not fussy and fits in with my casual style :)


This M&S bag is a fave from last winter, I love the simple studding and how it super slouches.



I'll definitely be wearing my jeans like this again, there's nothing comfier in my wardrobe than these bad boys so I'm stoked that they're back in the cool kids crowd again! 
I took this outfit to Cheshire Oaks Outlet Village in Ellesmere Port for a light browse with the boyfriend, it's no spend March but a girl has to plan for the big blowout Easter weekend right? ;)

J - Turn it up.
