Leopard Print & Tan Suede

Remember my charity shop bargain jacket from earlier this week? Well, I mentioned that I'd picked up a second item and finally, I'm getting round to sharing...some divine Boden tan suede ankle boots. I know Sue and Gemma-Louise will tell me off for buying MORE ankle boots but these are immaculate and they fitted me perfectly and are so comfortable...have I given enough reasons yet? How about I share a picture of them?
Note: Any navy in the pictures is an illusion (i.e. rubbish camera). It's all about the black today..


I don't normally mix browns and blacks but I fancied wearing my leopard print scarf so the black worked well...and of course the Specsavers Leopard specs just had to be part of the act!
Boots - Boden (similar)
Scarf - eBay (similar from a different seller)
Necklace - Mango
Jeans - Gok @ TU
Black Oversized Tee - H&M (similar)
Glasses - Specsavers
It was an outfit that I felt so comfy in - some days, I think it's nice to embrace a bit of black. But of course, the sun is coming out this weekend so perhaps, just perhaps, we'll get to wear a bit of colour and dare I say it, get some flesh out? Bring it on!

  2. I'm not going to tell you off. I love them and I would have snapped them up too if they had fitted. By the way, black and brown is great - why do you not do it more often? I love it? All those leopards and cheetahs can't be wrong can they?

  3. Fab boots - just what I need. Never seem to have much luck in our local charity shops, but inspired by your finds, might have a look today when I offload the clutter which rattling around in the boot of my car for the last week.

  13. I LOVE black and brown together (black and tan is even better in my book) and you absolute HOUND. Those are the Boden boots that I was trying to track down. They are THE BEST. Look even better slouched down a bit. Why on earth would someone give a fab pair of practically new boots away. Great find you star. xx
