Stomp

Morning all.

So yesterday I tried something a bit different. I won't go so far as to call it grunge but it's definitely tougher than my usual look. All inspired by this rather snazzy little jacket which arrived through the letterbox a couple of weeks ago, totally unexpectedly. I thought I was just getting some Boots £5 off vouchers so I was a tad baffled, but very pleased, to get a big parcel rather than a little envelope. Thanks Sharron!!

The boots were a bit of a bargain - only about £10 or £12 - and have been waiting to be worn ever since I bought them a few months ago. I thought now was the appropriate time and I must say, I love the impact a pair of boots has on my mood and attitude. I walk in flats, stride in trainers, sashay in heels (well, I try to) and STOMP in boots. I felt quite kick-ass in these.

I know the photos are rubbish so apologies if you can't actually see said boots very well! This should be the last blog post with the crappy borrowed camera as I picked up a shiny new one yesterday. Woop! Now I just need to learn how to use it...

Tshirt - Dorothy Perkins

Jacket - Topshop, via Sharron

Skirt - H&M

Tights - Ethel Austin (they're a lot more purple than they look in the photos)

Boots - Chiara

ps - thanks for all your helpful comments on my last post. I don't think I worded it as well as I could have done - other than mildly hankering after playsuits, I actually don't care about any of the things in the big list and I'm far from being a trend follower. I was just wondering if I sometimes overlook things in the shops that might end up suiting me cos I'm still in the middle of working out what suits my new shape. I tend to shop by myself and I'm not always the bravest so a suggestion or idea from you lovely lot can encourage me to try something I wouldn't otherwise consider.
