I know, two 'style' posts in a row! Brace yourselves.
I am in a bit of a rut with my wardrobe. I don't subscribe to the no-leggings-as-pants rule and am happy to wear them most days, as long as the shirt covers both my arse and gunt mummy tummy.
Today however, is fricken freezing. Freezing I tell you! It was 10 degrees* this morning, and in a state where it is warm enough to warrant thongs (feet or bum, choose your poison) that is mighty cold indeed. Today is one of the few days I wish I owned ugg boots, and I don't even own slippers.
So shopping my wardrobe for something warm bought me to the realisation that;
- I have a serious lack of 'wardrobe staples'
- I must really dislike shopping.
- There is a lot of crap in my wardrobe, maybe I should go through it (that is another post)
What I ended up wearing was the above ensemble;
- a purple maternity dress that has been through 2 pregnancies and has the cleavage held together with a very attractive brass safety pin.
- Leather boots that are
ancientgenuine vintage! I remember buying them for $50 in Bondi Junction, back in the mid 80's. - Black leggings because they are warm and comfortable. Deal with it!
- A stylish cardigan (re) gifted to me by my stylish sister.
- I have run out of hair elastics so am using a bit of emergency sparkly elastic gift ribbon to scrape my clean but product free hair back into a bun.
- No makeup whatsoever, but I do have on some moisturiser/sunscreen.
Do you know why this outfit is Winning with a capitol W? Because it is warm? Yes, but also the monkeys made such a fuss of how 'beautiful' I looked - to them I looked 'as lovely as those ladies on Mousehunt but without the knitted hair because that is just freaky.' Works for me.
