Midweek Musings #2

denim essentials - part 1

the shirt

Do you have a denim shirt in your wardrobe?  If not, it's probably about time you did, as it is a really versatile easy to wear piece that never dates. Plus it can be worn in a variety of ways, both casually and more dressy.  

Wear with jeans (yes double denim works folks!  Try varying the shades of denim too), over a dress instead of a cardigan or jacket, with a floral skirt or with sweatpants.  The denim shirt looks fab under a jumper too or thrown over a swimsuit as a beach cover up.

Okay, so it's not denim but I love this white shirt from Other Stories too!

  

and of course not forgetting Levi's shirts here  and here.  Also,I love this vintage men's shirt.

Chunky Monkeys

I love that chunky boots have become a trend again (I do remember more than a few years ago that monkey boots were the thing to wear - my mum had a pair.  They looked like this 

)

Swiftly back to the present and here's this week's inspiration:

My personal chunky boot collection is somewhat limited, so I am always on the lookout for new additions, ones that will last and last, and be a well-loved piece in my shoe-drobe for many years to come. So I personally am focusing on quality while I search - these may carry a higher price point, but the cost per wear will reduce to minus figures over the years - fashion maths!  NB: These browsings include all price points.

Let's begin:

Toast Solovair Jade Derby Boots  💗💗💗

Kurt Geiger London Sutton Boot 💗💗💗💗

Topshop Considered Oslo Boot 💗

Dr Martens Rometty Chelsea Boot 💗💗

All Saints Lira Boot 💗

All Saints Paulina Boot 💗💗

Office Alpaca Boot 💗💗💗

Converse Goretex Boot 💗 💗💗💗

Asos Vagabond Kenova Boot 💗💗💗💗

Timberland Courmayeur Boot 💗

Grenson Brady Boot (similar to Nanette and £70 cheaper!) 💗💗

Other Stories Lace up Boots 💗💗💗

Zara Biker boot with Buckle 💗

Zara Micro-studded ankle boot💗💗💗

Zara Boot with Buckled Straps 💗💗💗

Zara boots with soft shaft 💗

M&S Hiker Boot 💗💗💗

M&S Suede Hiker Boot 💗💗

Boden Cavenham Boot 💗💗💗💗

After all that browsing, I'm now thinking how similar all these boots are! With only 3 being a colour other than black, and most having a buckle or other trim.  So,before making a choice I would suggest trying on a few pairs with outfits you already own, and looking carefully at the styling and the details of the boots to see which pair will complement your wardrobe best, to suit your individual style.

Something to keep in mind, while you shop:

See you next week,
