Walks Like a Man.





So this is what I wore over the weekend for an impromptu window shopping trip with my mum. We ventured into Bury because the market and charity shops are great, and plus they have a Simply Be shop and I wanted to ogle clothes and dresses I cannot afford. They have some beautiful dresses. And I always love to look at the sexy underwear (not as creepily as that made it sound). Anyway, all I bought were two books by Nick Hornby from a charity shop, and some coconut baked macaroons from a bakers. They're one of my guilty pleasures. And a peanut butter kit kat chunky.

I've loved the preppy look this winter. Wearing jumpers over button downs has been my uniform. These jumpers from H&M I've seen on quite a few bloggers, and I now have four different colours in it. I think a black sheer shirt never fails, and is a wardrobe staple. I'd love a bit of a longer one but this one does the job. The skinny jeans are another ASOS curve buy. They fit great and have a slight stretch in them for comfort. 

The boots are my favourite item in this outfit. After posting those topshop boots in the Wants of the Week I've been looking for a substitute. These aren't chelsea boots, but the zip adds an edge to the boot. Not sure what type of edge, but I think its a good one!

Whats been your favourite look this winter?

Jumper - H&M
Jeans - ASOS Curve
Boots - DP
Shirt - Peacocks
Rings - Pia, and vintage.
