Fashion with a Fedora & Fur Gilet.

Hi my friends, how are you?

I'm feeling fine now after my dealings with Coronavirus, but it's lingered a little longer for hubby who now has a chest infection off the back of it, it's called long Covid apparently.  He's got antibiotics for it and I am keeping an eye on him - it's such a worry though.  

I was due a hair appointment this week, but that's not allowed, so I've resorted to buying some thinning scissors to sort out my fringe.  It's not perfect, but doesn't look too bad - anyone else seem to get a headache with a long fringe?

I've been busy sorting my new wardrobes out, now there's room for my jackets, it's nice to be able to see them not bunched up and in good light.  Hoping the weather improves so I can really get them working to full potential.  

For Christmas I got a lovely casual cream padded jacket from the kids along with a stunning colour-block jumper that is trending atm - will share them with you soon. 

It's so hard to stay motivated with a long stretch of lock-down ahead of me, but I've got more outfits to sort out for future photo shoots so that'll keep me busy for a few days.  I'm going to be making full use of my new vintage clothes stand as I can hang the outfits on it complete with shoes or boots.

What have you got planned for the week - do tell!

Here's what I had hanging on the stand the other day - you may have seen this fashionable look on IG.

There's something about an all black outfit that just works. I was excited to style this one with my fur gilet AND hat & ended up with a super outfit.  I'll be wearing this in the future when we can get out and about.

I started with the black jeans (found them in the wardrobe and had forgotten I had them - result).  The black denim are a tight fit and the stretch in them was a welcomed addition. They were topped with a black turtle neck jumper - it's covered with silver balls and you might remember this versatile little sweater when I wore it with white culottes.

The fur gilet in shades of grey, black and off white brings everything together in a really trendy way, but with a 70's vibe.  I'll have to pick my day for when it's wearable and that will rather depend on what the weather is like. So when the weather improves your sure to see more of it!

Keep the accessories to a minimum when wearing something as flamboyant as a fur gilet is the best advice I could give, the only finishing touch needed is my black fedora that I've been a big fan of in recent months - remember when I wore it with my first pattern mix-up?  If you missed it, you can the post here.  I'm on the look out for more hats - I promise you'll be the first to know when I find some.

These boots are a few years old but have served me well.  I found them in the Clarks sale just before Christmas a while ago and bought two pairs, one black one mink for the price of 1! They're a sturdy boot with a block heel and fur lining which makes them perfect for cold weather.  They also have the advantage of a turn over cuff showing the fur lining, another good look for skinny's or thick tights.  These are similar as mine are quite old and not available now!

Many thanks for joining me today, it's great to have you here.
