Out Takes 2013

We are at that time of year again for resolutions and looking back, in fact, it would appear everyone is doing a spot of #tbt (throwback Tuesday). So, in true fashion blogger style I have decided to do a not so original post about my favourite outfits of 2013. But, with a slight twist I decided to add some of the 'out take' pictures, you know, the ones were your eyes are closed or you basically look a tit.
Happy New year

Pretty Woman

  

 

 

  

 

The over the knee boot is this winters go to footwear, but how can you wear them without the pretty woman subtext? Aka; looking like a hooker! It is a real shame, as they so elegantly provide a sleek line to compliment your outfit while rather practically keeping you warm. They are sort of like a control pant for your lower limbs. Have I sold you on this trend yet? Really... The control pant and hooker spiel didn't win you over? I do actually really love over the knee boots and socks despite my previous jibes, they are incredibly easy to wear and they really can be worn with everything. The boots I am wearing with today’s outfit don’t quite come over the knee so I have simply added over the knee black socks to give the same effect. I think one of the main reasons I enjoy wearing these boots in winter is because it’s a change from tights which, can be less than appealing sometimes. There is really nothing I hate more, or is less attractive, than having to stop every five steps to hike your crotch back up into position and lets face it, we have all had to do the ‘tight dance’ at some point. Although recently, one of my friends commented saying 'You should always wear tights with these boots to avoid the pretty woman comment', but I think she is wrong the whole point of the boots is to add drama. Now, after preaching about not looking like a prostitute I should of perhaps not have taken these pictures on a street corner. For me the over the knee boot adds a hint of sex appeal in an otherwise oversized and 'Mannish' dominated season.
What do you think of over the knee boots or do you think they are slightly more street corner then high end?

Thermal underwear

I can honestly say I am sick of wearing tights, and I am sick of seeing beautiful people on many of my favourite blogs showing their bare legs!! Aren't they cold? Maybe they have just bleached there leg hairs? A bit like an  invisible leg fur coat. Is it one of those inside fashion secrets? To halt my ever growing boredom of hosiery I thought I would go 'like, totally clueless' and try over the knee socks. I did love the change, the only problem was a slight gust of wind, and I definitely felt it around my private regions. Maybe my next investment should be some thermal underwear, maybe that's the real fashion secret. I suppose it is a little more believable than my original idea.
