I audibly gasped when I clocked these in my local TK Maxx, for I am a sucker for a good bit of ruching. Just look at those buttery folds of leather *le sigh*
They are by All Saints, a brand that I never quite got until recently. I used to think why?! would anyone want to dress like a zombie cowboy/girl and pay £££ for the privilege.
I’ll be honest I still don’t get most of their dresses/ shirts etc for that very reason but what I do get is their leather appeal. They do leather so well. Like no one else on the high street. So soft, instantly worn in, uber flattering ♥
These little babies ooze sex appeal to me. A flash of toe, a glimpse of heel. I know my man will be a fan.
It’s still slightly too cool to perhaps be wearing these outside yet, but it won’t be long. Another month or so and I have a feeling these will be surgically attached to my feet. In the meantime I need to get my tootsies ready for the public. As is always the case in Winter I tend to neglect everything from the knees down.
So let the foot scrubs, filing and pedicures commence with gusto!
I thought I’d pop in a few pics of today’s outfit while I’m here. No full length I’m afraid as I can’t find the doo daa (technical term) that connects my camera to the tripod.
First tho, make-up. My foundation is Jemma Kidd Light As Air, a recent purchase from here. I opted for shade Light and it’s quite a good match. Slightly too dark (and I mean slightly) but will be perfect once I catch a spot of Spring sun. For reference I wear no 52 in Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum.
I’ve wore it 3 days in a row so far and these are my very early opinions. It’s a little too matt for my liking. It accentuates my dry t-zone. It oxidises throughout the day. Now that all sounds a bit negative. The pro’s. It smells nice, perhaps not important to some but I rate this as important. It applies like a dream, hardly any blending required, so nice and quick and easy. A little goes a long way, in terms of coverage. It lasts all day.
At this stage I wouldn’t repurchase due to the drying aspect but it may fare better as the weather improves and in turn my skin with it. I’ll keep you posted!
Lipstick is Revlon Pink Pout, probably the most drying lipstick I own but I just adore the pinky mauve colour. If anyone knows a more moisturising dupe please leave a comment xo
Lace trim vest – M&S. Technically this is underwear but I thought it went well with my Chanelesque cardigan which is from Miss Selfridge (sale). I was going to accessorise with a single strand of pearls but I have vowed to stop saving my “good” jewellery for special occasions. What if that day never comes?
I will therefore be doing the school run sporting my Vivienne Westwood Bas Relief Pearl and Crystal Choker. Mine is the gold version and originally purchased from Hervia. I’m not sure they sell it anymore though and their site appears to be under maintenance. If you do ever get the chance to own it, grab it. It makes even the most mundane outfit look put together xo
