OOTD: Puss in Boots

Good morning! Have you survived the last round of promos? I was good until 1 am Monday night (Tuesday morning actually), then I shot a series of last minute no-minimum 25% off small orders with the code HOLIDAY that was still working. Then went to bed and couldn't sleep (buyer's remorse). Got up and cancelled two orders and went to bed again. Can you tell that my hsuband is travelling? Otherwise he would have immediately stopped this computer business in the middle of the night. In the end I got a Dodo case for our new iPad (Xmas present for the family) and the Wide leather belt for me to try as my old black jeans belt has seen better days. I was quite relieved that the new promo that kicked in was an outwear promo, that I have no interest in.

In fact it is still too warm here to wear a coat. I wore my Script coat yesterday to a school thing (for the elegance factor) but it was definitively too warm.
It is raining this morning so I almost immediately decided to wear my maxi-stripe leggings because they are easy to tuck in my Aigle equestrian rainboots. I was holding off on wearing these leggings (that I adore) because I don't have any tunic or sweater or sweater-dress in a color that goes well with them and long enough to cover my butt. But since it is so warm that I don't need a coat I can wear them with an old BR merino open cardigan and a turtleneck underneath. The multistrap belt completed the look. I really recommend this belt, especially if you can catch it when it goes on sale (I am wearing a S in the belt and a XXS in the leggings):


I love this outfit but can you see a resemblance?


I always feel a little bit mosketeer each time that I wear this cardigan with boots (the back of the cardigan feels like I am wearing a cape).
I have to run and get my daughter, talk to you soon (I have a few reviews to share).

Have a ncie day!

  6. dogosana, thank you and welcome to the blog. Sorry for the late reply, I am 5'2" with fairly long legs for a petite. The xxs fits me perfectly without extra fabric at the ankles. HTH!
