Hi there! I'm blanched in the winter's sunshine this morning, but don't be deceived - the second Beast from the East has hit us here on the Isles of Scilly and according to the forecast we could be experiencing a wind chill factor of -4 degrees today. Yikes! As I write this I'm watching the clock as it's only an hour away from high tide, the time that I'll be heading off to the beach for my daily swim. Brrrrrrr!
For the moment however, I'm suitably wrapped up in this snuggly chocolate brown velvet and sheepskin collared coat (pre-loved by Karen Millen) and a chunky gold woolly sweater from H&M with a thermal layer underneath. The tan leather trousers are vintage, from Next but discovered in Truro Oxfam in 2020, although this is their first viewing. They cost me £20 which I thought was a very fair price for this sleek leather pair of flared jeans, fully lined too.
I've finished off the look with a pair of snakeskin ankle boots which were gifted to me by JD Williams many moons ago.
I like the zig-zag pinked edges which creates a feature of the seams.
Not much jewellery today, only a couple of charity shopped gold coloured rings.
I was nearly sabotaged here by a couple of cats having a scrap. I'm not sure who was most suprised - them or me!
This is the victor smugly taking his place in his territory beside me. Are you a cat person? I'm a dog person myself. And on that note, I must go and get my swimsuit on...
