This is my new favourite look

Suits me as I'm short and have a waist.

ah ye snow the boots arrived today int eh right size. Blocky heel means are very comfy.
I have just spend 20 mins in bedroom secretyl( for fear of dh!!) trying on outfits.

they are chestnut with a kind of black tinge to em, almost like you have had a run in with a black shoe polish
look nice with purple - and less predictable than black.

Waterfall cardigans v v bad on boobage or shorties.

What are these boots of which you speak?

Is that Kew cardigan (lovely btw) REALLY worth 65 squid?

I do the long cardi open with a belt thing.
If you have boobs (me sadly not really no more) then I think a slightly better look is big boyfriend cardi with low-ish scoop neck underneath, don't do buttons up but wrap around self as if was wrap dress and then wide waist belt on top - wrap around V shape on top half much better for a cleavage. You sort of have to grip cardi with your elbow whilst holding belt in teeth to get it really tightly wrapped

There is a mum at school gates who does good waterfall cardi but I do find them a bit old for me, esp the ones that are a bit frilly
