One of my favourite looks; one I return to again, and again, in the winter time.

    your blog has been one of my faves for years, thank you. interested to know why this outfit is a liked “in the winter”. i like it too, tightish top and full skirt with a tight waist. long boots. reminds me of my primary school teachers in the 70’s.

      I think I just meant because of the boots/midi skirt/jersey top combination. Although I wear long sleeve tops instead. I think it was mainly the boots, to be honest (although my beloved burgundy suede western boots have finally just given up the ghost, so this look is on the backburner until I can replace them!).
