Are You Ready Boots?

On Thursday I wore my favourite pair of boots for the first time since last winter 



These photos are grainy and rubbish as they were taken when Mr N and I had just returned home at about 11pm, you know being all rock n roll  an' all

Oh but I  do love me some victorian boots, and I've seen some fantastic ones on my fellow bloggers lately.


I'm Batmaaaan!


Speaking of bloggers, I dug this bag out of hiding when I saw the lovely Vix had found a similar one at a jumble sale, and was totally rocking it, as always

Trying too hard?

When I was looking back at these photos, I was reminded of this one


One of my first outfit posts from back in February, when I first started blogging.  Sporting the same skirt and boots.  Also taken late at night, under the garish, halogen glare of my kitchen lights, just before changing into my jammies and diving into bed.

Something I won't be able to do tonight.

I have an engagement party to go to.  I feel so robbed when my weekends get booked up.  Is that weird?

Top and skirt - charity shop
Cardigan - Supermarket
Boots - ASOS via Ebay
Bag & brooch - vintage, Ebay
Coat and tights - high street

Enjoy your weekend party people

  6. I love your bag Lucy! And the collar of your top, it looks great under your cardi! I love Victorian boots but I've never found a pair I like on me, I guess they are one of those things I'll just have to admire on other people! I totally get what you mean about weekends, if I make plans I feel like I really have to make the most of the time I have to just relax and do nothing, my favourite part of the weekend!

  7. I isntantly thought of Vix when I saw this pictures of you. And you are rocking the bag as she does. I am loving your whole outfit especially that skirt and your boots are gorgeous, I have always wanted a pair of victorian esque xxxx

  8. Ooh yes, very 'woman in black', I like. I used to have some ankle length ones and I loved them aside from the laces' habit of coming unwound from the hooky bits all the bloody time. I resent it when my weekend is taken up with the kids' social lives - can do without Maccy D's parties - but this weekend is all about me! Birthday today, bit of afternoon drinking involved!

  11. I tend to sit at home on a weekend when I'm doing nothing and feel like a lameo but when I have too much to do I feel robbed, Especially when it's evening stuff.
    Those boots are wonderful!! Victorian style boots are the best. I love your cheeky face with the handbag!! Did you know I've been saying you're just like the girl on Edie's blog header? Also in her latest Das Schaben post the top three girls look like you.
    Ps... Really love that skirt!!

  13. I love those boots Lucy, just got myself some new lace ups too but they're shorter and chunkier, I'd like some more glam ones like yours. You look so cute in that pic with the handbag on your head. I know just what you mean about giving up your free time, it's precious to me! xx

  14. Yay! Bag twins and if that's St Michael then we're skirt twins, too! Lace up boots are the best, the add style and attitude to everything.
    I'm so glad you think like me. I get really angsty when I'm booked up in advance even though I enjoy it when it rolls round. Hope the party was fun! x

  16. I love your Victorian boots, and your fabulously autumnal skirt. I especially love the bag-on-the-head pic! I always feel a bit like I don't want to be bothered about going out at weekends, but once I'm out, I love it! xxx

  21. I like your boots, the collars of your blouses, your cameo and your kitchen in the background: that lovely collection of coffeepots, the light blue and red colour scheme. Have a fine day!
