    What Should I Wear With My New Boots?

    Posted January 9, 2009 by Lisa Remi

    I love getting comments on my posts - hint hint, double hint with chocolate on top.  So I was so excited when Melissa commented on my last post: January Sales - My Victoria Secrets Encounter. Melissa asks what one should wear with high heeled boots in the winter?  Great question.

    Bronx Lace Up Buckle Boots, were $249.00 now $148.00 - these are my new boots, I bought them in black.

    As it happens, I donned my new boots yesterday. I had a hairdressers appointment and then off to meet a couple of friends for a very important social engagement ( *please see footnote 1) The temperatures in London have reached zero and minus and it’s cold. As I mentioned many blogs ago, I don’t need much excuse to dress up even if I don’t really have anywhere to go (please refer to footnote 1 again).

    However, what to wear with them? I actually wore two sweaters! The first was my black poloneck jumper purchased from Mango. Over this I wore a large open neck light grey sweater, which could actually double as a jumper dress. I ‘borrowed’ this jumper from my friend Laiten who is a body builder. So the sweater is huge. I then put on one of my black belts, to scrunch the sweater in around the waist. It looked quite chic. On the bottom I wore thick black leggings, with a slighty satin appearance. Then I pulled on my fabulous boots. Over all of this I put on my roomy black sixties style coat, with beautiful bell sleeves. It complimented the ’sweater dress’ perfectly. Especially since the sleeves are quite long so I pulled them through the bell sleeves of my coat (they are three quarter length) and folded them up.

    I was warm, snuggly and stylish all rolled into one.

    Mango Black Overcoat, was $179.99 now $88.99   Visualise this ensemble with the Bronx Boots! Superb!

    Wear this Black ‘Nuca’ Overcoat with a thick jumper underneath,was $189.99 now $88.99

    This warm sophisticated ‘Puppe’overcoat would look great with boots with a mid to high heel, was $199, now $98.99.  Also from Mango….

    …team up one of these gorgeous coats with a fantastic sweater to match.

    Mango Iago Sweater, was $69.00 now $33.99

    Sweet ‘Darling’ sweater from Mango, was $49.99 now $23.99

    This jumper sits on the hips, so if you’re not comfortable wearing leggings, wear with a nice pair of three quarter length trousers. That was you still get to show off your boots!

    This gorgeous ‘ Canela’ sweater from Mango has endless fashion possibilities! Was $59.99 now $28.99

    Mango have a great deal on leggings, only $13.99, down from $29.99 ( I personally would not wear those particular boots!)

    Thanks for the inspiration Melissa!

    * Footnote 1 - I wasn’t really meeting any friends on an important social engagement, I just wanted to wear my boots.

    Mango Sticks with Penelope Cruz

    Mango can’t get enough of Penelope Cruz, but who can? Seemingly pleased with last season’s results, the Spanish-based fast fashion company has tapped their compatriot for yet another season of glamorous ads.  The campaign goes public in February and will feature Mango’s spring line. It’s already been shot in London by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, the guys behind the Scarlett Johansson Louis Vuitton ads and countless other dazzling projects.
