Apparently a reference to the Hundred Years War between the kingdoms of England and France, but if you're anything like me, you'll recognise the above quote from Carry On Doctor
When I saw these suedette lace up boots on Ebay I knew I had to have them. Everyone needs burgundy boots don't they? I've had loads of comments on them, but most people think they're red. Either way, I'm good with it. Anyway, I thought I'd team them with my newish charity shop acquisitions, floral gypsy style dress and longline burgundy cardigan. I also wore my new favourite lipstick by a well known, affordable British brand fronted by a well known skanky supermodel. Shade 107 (burgundy of course) in the matte variety. I rather like it but it could do with being a teensy bit deeper in colour.
Dress & cardigan - charity shop
Tights - high street
Boots - Ebay
Pendant - Groupon deal
Brooch - high street
For all of you who commented on my last post, I send a massive 'mwah'! Your comments were so reassuring and made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

ReplyDeleteThe boots are fab, Lucy, I am a little envious!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous frock, I especially like the close up shot of the pretty print and pendant, and your wondrous bosom! You look lovely in these colours, and hurray for "dressing up", however you want, for no other reason than that you can!
Hope your concerns about your blog have reduced with all the positive messages and support from your blog friends. xxx
The boots are gorgeous Lucy, I can't blame you for wanting them as soon as you saw them! I loved seeing you wearing the infamous Kate Moss 107 too, it looks fantastic on you, I've been wearing it so much lately!

Gorgeous boots! I love getting dressed up just for the hell of it x
ReplyDeleteThose boots are absolutely amazing!
ReplyDeleteI work from home, so I use to dress up as I'm going to a ballroom if I have to spend few hours out, I know that it sounds crazy, but I feel the need of being pretty and happy.I read Curtise's post and I'm totally agree with you both, an outfit is about our fantasies, our interests and about being an individual. To dress up only for feeling better with ourself is the best choice.The boots are amazing and the floral dress has one of the cutest print, I love the fobwatch pendant too!
