The marriage of joggers and boots is indeed a perfect and very happy one. I'm thrilled to find yet another reason to wear these fab, comfy and trendy boots (TK Maxx, but see similar ones here from ASOS). This was a work outfit from last week. I'm currently updating art in many of the holiday cottages and these photos are from a trip out to the Sea Garden Cottages. Check out the view from Nautilus below -
The rest of my outfit is all old, some preloved, such as the roll neck sweater. The studded jacket is by Michael Kors, a purchase from TK Maxx many years ago, but still much worn. We all love a classic jeans jacket and this one simply has a bit more bling than usual!
None of my accessories are new; the sunglasses are by Radley, rings are thrifted and my Vivienne Westwood pendant is quite a few years old now, but more precious than ever since her recent death.
For my birthday last month I was given this beautifully comprehensive tome of Vivienne's legacy to the fashion world, one that will be a source of inspiration to me especially when I look to customise clothing in the future. There is nothing that she didn't make and no fashion rule that she didn't break. Bold and brilliant, her designs were cutting edge, her lack of respect and perversity were legendary. The most memorable photo I saw of her was outside Buckingham Palace after receiving her OBE from the Queen when she flashed her knickerless parts for the press. The book catalogues her wit, her passion and all of the models who flocked to be part of her world.
Thank you for joining me for this week's round up. I hope you have a great week and look forward to seeing and hearing from you again soon!

What a great idea to customise with silk pockets. Pockets are a must in my book.!! Through the magic of Dylon I have saved 3 pairs of my trousers and one pair of Mr S's shorts. There were all fit to throw out but like new now. I was reluctant to use the washing machine for the dyeing so it took a long time to get round to it. The first attempt was with black dye. The cycle was almost complete when the washing machine stopped working. The black liquid had to be baled out, thankfully there wasn't so much that opening the door would have spilled it all over the floor. The outflow had got blocked by a button and a paper hanky. The next batch was navy and went smoothly. Have a nice week. Tessa x
ReplyDeleteI've not ventured into the realms of home dyeing yet Tessa, but can see the value of it xxx
DeleteOoh, I want that Viv Westwood book! I love your tribute to her, Anna. Also loving this fun and funky outfit! The boots are so perfect with the joggers. YOU!! You put in pockets! What a genius thing! I have a coat with fake pockets that drives me insane - I should just bite the bullet and fix it myself.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous views...wow!
Your so artistic and creative Sheila, surely you'd find it easy enough to add some pockets? Lovely to hear from you again xxx
DeleteDear Anna, I have a guilty conscience, because I was absent on your blog. Retirement is stressful 😉 and over the festive days in December and in the beginning of the new year, Corona hit us massive. Not nice! But now I‘m back again and I‘m starting to read up your latest posts. Belated happy Birthday dear Anna, I hope you had a beautiful day!

I'm the same, I often buy stuff from fast fashion, but keep thinking paying a bit more for better quality would last a bit longer! Jacqui x
