.................. ROFL :lol:, thanks heaps for the offer :D xOx ... if you don't mind my asking " M " where did you do your training ?? (i've always wanted to do it especially theatrical & special effects but feel i'm too oldish for the industry even if i do look bit younger :rolleyes::
TD ... feel for you lovely lady & to me your the hottest sounding woman on the BB planet as i haven't met ya IRL yet, BUT will one day yeh when ya feeling like it ok :hug:
Winter, I spent all last winter looking for brown leather flat boots and ended up just getting synthetic ones. They're not easy to find. Probably depends on budget though, I think I probably saw some more exy leather ones but I'm not a huge spender.
I'm seriously considering spending all of winter in tights and skirts/dresses. Jeans don't really keep me warm....Hmm. I'm a fan of tunics too.
Just found a pair of brown just below the knee flat leather boots for $550! Will pm link if interested though. They're expensive, but the past few winters i've bought synthetic and they just don't last, so if you get a leather pair and they last 5 years its kind of worth it.
;) Awww shucks! Thanks TD, you rock too! :lol::
I wish I had a suitable physique so I could just live in warm coaty-jackets, tights and boots.
I don't follow latest trends that closely but I do love winter clothing :) I wear a hat nearly every day... All types... Love vintage coats over man style pants... Old pin stripe... Knits: vests, cardigans. Probably wear too much dark clothing in winter but black really suits. I am a winter person on the colour chart system too. Would love a comfy pair of leather brogues just to be different; I like pants and boots don't always work. When I wear my winter skirts/ dresses I often wear opaque black tights and my Mary Jane doc martins. I wear pants during the week and skirts/dresses on the weekend, usually. ATM I'm wearing a pair of Peter Alexander PJs ... Love them!
I'm out, that's waaaaay over my budget. Happy to pay around $200 but I'm with Nelle, they are hard to find. I looked last year too and ended up getting a black synthetic pair which have actually worn well. I really want leather this time though.:

Oh I forgot to say, I really want a pair of ankle boots. But they can't be too high, since I have 2 little guys to chase after...
I'm loving the skinny jeans - and wearing my boots over the top of them....:D
That's why I want my boots! I have a black pair, but I need a brown pair.:

I'm just thinking though...I could probably do the ankle boot Nelle, I hadn't though of that :think: I saw loads of ankle boots today but didn't pay much attention because I was looking for something more mid calf.
Willow i'll keep my eye out... i find online window shopping relaxing and am signed up to a lot of sites so get updates. I know i've seen brown leather ankle boots when i was looking for a pair... maybe ninewest or witchery?
Cookiemonster I'm 15kg heavier than last winter because of the meds i was on, so none of my jackets fit. But i was looking at some "Swing Jackets" which are great for hiding the love handle area and also good for big boobs!! They usually have 2 buttons and then just flare out, if you get what i mean?
Thanks Matryoshka ;)
Ooh, I love swing jackets too. I have a few knitted cardigans in that style.
I'm looking forward to wearing gloves, I grew up in QLD so gloves just didn't happen! In Melbs now and I really want a gorgeous soft pair of black leather gloves. Oh, and hunting for old brooches and feathers to pin onto the sides of berets/beanies!
I gave away an old cropped military jacket that was in fashion about 5 years ago, and now it's back! Should have kept it! Oh well, more shopping to be done.
i really really wish i had some fashion sense :( i need help with shopping, im hopeless and i find it depressing that i feed daggy all the time :(
Rivers has ladies ankle boots for $25 at the moment - check their website out!:
Grr, I just yanked out my beloved cropped trench and made myself sneeze like buggery (it's got a bit of cat hair on it lol, haven't worn it for about two years!), it's too big for me :( Looks like I might have an excuse to get my hands on a cherry-red or even leopard-print one this year ;) *grabs car keys* I'm off to begin the search!
ETA: Booties/ankle boots are back in a big way, I'm seeing them everywhere in stores here (and we don't have many stores lol, just the major retailers!), all different price ranges, too. I saw a cute little pair of black patent wedge heels the other day, I considered buying them but a 3-inch heel just doesn't cut it for me, I need BIG heels! Hoping the chunky heels of a couple of seasons ago come back, they're much comfier than pencil-slim stilettos.
My body soooo doesn't work with skinny jeans... hence the absence of boots from my wardrobe... well, I do have a pair but I also find that they are too hot. I don't drive and I'm a fast walker... boots don't seem to work... they get too hot.
I'm thrilled to learn that my hometown has a Colorado store! We might be moving back soon. I wear lots of Colorado stuff... and their shoes are VERY durable :)
Well lucky you're so stunning then Olive! You could wear a paper bag and look alright mate. Although you'd probably be a bit chilly. I'll come shopping with you any time. Not that I have that much sense either. What about a stylist sort of person. I have a friend who does that for a business.
Definitely consider ankle books Winter! I reckon they add a bit of length to legs too, sometimes I think that calf boots can sort of make legs look shorter, a bit like 3/4 leg pants can. That's why skinny/straight leg pants can be cool too. If they suit us that is.
Ooh ahh at the River's shoes. I have a store near me, might have to pop in...
ETA: Two of my jackets are sort of swing style. Love love. They look a bit old fashioned and I think that's cool as.
