So, I had a different blog
post planned for you all but then I went shopping.
I nearly bought some brogues last year but I hadn’t quite got my
head around them, if you know what I mean? They seemed too masculine and I
wasn’t sure if they were right for my personal style. However, last weekend,
when the weather changed dramatically and all that was on my shopping list was
a decent pair of winter shoes that I could run around the office in - I
made a beeline for these.
I tried them on with the rolled up jeans I
was wearing and I loved them from the get-go. But because I had never bought
anything like this for myself before, I still sent this pic to Mr. B to ask
what he thought of them. Funny, given that I take people personal shopping
you’d think that I’d just be able to ask myself wouldn't you?!
Anyway, even with my heart a flutter and the thumbs up from Mr. B,
I still hovered in the shop a while to contemplate my imminent purchase. Will
they go with skirts and tights? Will my feet get cold without socks? Can I
wear them with socks and not look weird? Are they too shiny? Should I learn to tap dance?
How come Judy Murray is still in Strictly? Aaaand back in the room! Anyway, I
now own a pair of brogues and I have to say that I feel rather proud and so
bloody trendy, it hurts!
Here's one way (and my favourite way) to wear my new brogues. Rolled up jeans and smart jacket.
The jacket is new too actually. I thought the shoes lent
themselves to a longer, more masculine line and so snapped this jacket up from New Look.
I also tried the shoes on
with tights and tailored shorts which was an OK look in
itself, it didn't not work, but the tights and brogue
thing...mmmm?
To me, it's all a bit Jenny Agutter from 'Call The
Midwife' and so I'm unsure. Therefore this look might take me a little longer
to get used to, but never say never. And just to be clear, I mean never say never to the tights and brogues look not the
nun in a habit look. Unless you're a nun of course, in which case it's
perfectly acceptable attire and the rolled up jeans would be, I would say, a definite
no no! Glad we cleared that up.
I’m obviously quite taken with my new shoes and got a bit
snap-happy at the weekend.
Word count wise, I’m
keeping my posts a little shorter of late as I’m spending a lot of
time on my new website that I want up and running for St. Albans Fashion Week (27th Oct - 2nd Nov) – which is a whole new, bigger
and juicier story that I cannot wait to share with you!
