Keeping Warm v Looking Cool

 

Sunday Morning, down by the Thames. It’s two degrees (barely), and blanket of mist sweeps accross the river top. Winter has well and truly finally hit us like a giant, semi-unexpected snowball in the face. In keeping with my obsession with over the knee boots this season, this time rather than pairing with floaty dresses and short leather skirts, it’s time to show off their practicality instead of blatant sex appeal. Pulled snuggly over a pair of skinny jeans, Kurt Geiger’s Valencia boots* add an additional cosy layer to the mix to help keep the cold out. Top things off with several layered up jumpers (hence why I’m definitely falling on the chubbier side of the spectrum in today’s post) as well as a military coat (can you believe this one is Missguided? It has way more Chloe AW15 vibes about it) and you’re set to brave the winter in style. Who said you can’t keep warm whilst looking cool? It’s not all onesies and pyjamas (although, to be honest, I’m happier now I’m writing this in bed with my furry leopard print socks.) Get cosy outdoor style by checking in with Kurt Geiger’s seasonal boot collection (the snake boots are a real winner.)
