Thanks for all the lovely comments yesterday. I think I must have been in a grouchy mood when I wrote the post because looking back at the pictures I've decided that I do rather like the outfit after all. Today's ensemble is decidedly more snuggly and practical for wearing whilst defrosting the car in minus 5 temperatures, brrr!!!
Must stop looking so weirdly obsessed with my feet in pictures.
Dress - local boutique sale (isn't it lovely and nubbly?)
Leggings - Marks & Spencer
Cardi - Hawkshead
Boots - Irregular Choice "Jump in Puddles" via ebay

Can't remember if I've blogged these boots before but I absolutely love them. I have size 6 hoofs and as that's a pretty common size, it can be tricky to get IC bargains on ebay. I've been after a pair of the green heels with the frog charm on for years now but seemingly so has everyone else because they still cost a fair amount. I can only assume everyone else thought this pair of boots was a bit too whacky because I got them for under £15 inc p&p. Yoicks!
On the third day of my giveaway, I will give to thee:
Some French hens of course! These are gorgeous vintage French glass hen shaped egg cups. I could only get two, not three, but really you're lucky that they're in the giveaway at all because I love them so much I want to keep them!! They're quite tricky to photograph but rest assured they are ever so beautiful and detailed. Plus, even if you're not a fan of boiled eggs they're very decorative. 
ahh love the hens and the boots,and the jumper dress looks so lovely and snuggly !!
ReplyDeletekeep warm!! xxx
Oooh now these I love! I can see why you would want to keep them yourself, so gorgeous. Though I wouldn't use them for eggs, I would use them for chunky candles so I could keep them out on display all the time.
ReplyDeleteBoots are fab, very you x
Those boots are wacky, but in a good way! Bargain aswell!
ReplyDeleteI've been so cold, my feet are freezing, even with woolly socks on. Counted 8 layers yesterday.

Dear Alex, isn't it cold?!! Those boots look great, they're really fun. Stay warm and have a lovely day. I am leaving the house once in a cab to go to the bank and the Post Office, then straight home! xx
ReplyDeleteFor a practical outfit you look very stylish and coordinated. The dress is a brilliant colour and I love how you describe it, nubbly!!!
ReplyDeleteThose french hens are divine, not surprised you wanted to keep them. Your giveaway theme is awesome and so very generous. x
Oh they are amazing - I'm loving your 12 Days giveaway, everything is so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHope your trendy wellies are a bit less slippery than my Rocket Dog ones - all style and no substance!
Hello Alex, have just popped over from Christina's, so glad I did, I have got quite carried away, reading your archives, you have a delightful blog.

Love the colour of the dress, the turquoise is so lovely. I hope one day you manage to get your hands on the pair you have always wanted, but these ones are equally as fabulous x
ReplyDeleteCute wellies! I always find there's nothing nice left in a 6 either :( xx
ReplyDeleteThe hens are so delicate and pretty, just perfect! That dress looks so warm just the thing for this bloody weather, I don't own a long jumper to cover my chilly bum - must trawl the charity shops for one tomorrow!

ReplyDeletecool boots, love the colour choice x x x
gorgeous nubbley dress! And yes I did get the blue vintage dress can't wait for it to arrive!
ReplyDeleteOh I'd love a pom pom scarf or necklace. I could make one I'm sure but you are supreme pom pom maker of the universe. xx
If it wasnae for our wellies, where would we be?
ReplyDelete*please say you've heard that Billy Connolly song or I'll just look like a nutter!*
I wierdly do not own any wellies and have resorted to stealing my mum's these past couple of days, even though they're too big!
Loving the egg cups- I'm hoping we still have some chickens left in our garden after this snow- they're wierdly quiet :/
