Cardigan: Temt

Draping is not something I’ve ever been particularly good at. Most of my wardrobe is structured to hug the contours of my figure. My recent foray in the world of peg-leg pants has woken in me a lust for loose-fitting, draped pieces.

This blush-coloured cardigan’s a good addition, it and it seems to work well enough over jeans and knee-high boots, but after trying it with a soft jersey skirt from Trenery I’ve decided I “need” more unstructured pieces to team it with.

I couldn’t quite come at buying a floppy grey skirt for $100, so I think I’ll be off to Spotlight this weekend, and maybe we’ll have a DIY blog post next week!

Boots: Boots for Broads

Today is the last day of our long, long weekend and – apart from being rudely woken at 5am by drunken louts on the door bell – it was a satisfyingly lazy one.

A much more welcome individual rang the door bell at ten: the postie (mysteriously working on a public holiday) with a parcel of goodies from the delicious Jessica at Eliza Parker which included this “Double Tie Cardigan“

It’s the perfect piece for casual comfort, and it comes with an obi sash, though I’m wearing it open today because the weather was quite mild. It’s made a light jersey fabric, making it a good trans-seasonal piece, and I really like the long cuffs. It sits well open or closed.

Also excellent for comfort are my Boots For Broads Kerrin Boots. They’re a little bit big in the calf, and I usually wear them over jeans, but they’re a lovely soft leather, and with a pair of big fleecy innersoles they’re as comfortable as slippers to wear.

I’ve blogged about the experience of shopping with Boots For Broads before (here and here, mostly) so I won’t go on about it, but I’ve got a wide-calf-boot lust-list in the works, so stay tuned for that!
