Nice and 'knee-sy'



As I've mentioned in earlier posts, I wanted to try something a little bit different with my outfits.  I've been a bit boring in my style choices and working full time and doing a part-time college course has meant that I have spent zero time on planning my wardrobe.  Now, with my final assignment submitted, I've got plenty of 'style-time' to get my fashion groove back.

One of the main things I realise is that life is too short to keep shoes 'for best'.  So, each week I'm going to give a pair of my neglected shoes a chance to escape the shoe cupboard.  With autumn finally here, those shoes needs some great hosiery accessories to perfect my styling choices. 

These Veneziana Circus Knee Highs gave me the inspiration to dig out my red heels for work.  I have to admit that these are the first knee highs I've worn since clubbing in the 1990's, but these were perfect for the 'post-club, I am over forty' Clare.  

The Knee Highs were great, they stayed up through out the day, I wasn't constantly pulling my socks up! The quality of the denier was great and most importantly, they've also washed really well, ready for another style challenge, so watch this space and take a look at what Veneziana have to offer.

Not much I can say but after watching the film 'Brassed Off' for the numerous time, I cried at the fact that although this film was produced in the nineties, our country hasn't improved in terms of employment but there is still hope. RIP Pete Postlethwaite x

My new obsession

Image
A year ago, I decided to do something about getting healthy and making time for exercise.   I'd tried a gym and managed to fall off  a treadmill, my attempt at Zumba was one spin too many and trampolining keep fit resulted in painful knees and a struggle to get up off a train seat. But I've caught the running bug! This time last year I started to go running, after seeing an online post about starting up a small running group.  My early running days were a struggle, barely able to jog let alone run for a minute.  But I stuck to it and can now run for ten minutes nonstop, actually run! The beach promenade is my gym, a early morning run on a Saturday morning is my work out and I am ready for more.  Instead of a new years resolution, I set myself challenges for this year including running my first 5k and by spring I aim to do this. It does mean that some of my footwear choices lately haven't been about the height but more about comfort and speed, but it doesn't me

Shoe of the week

Shoe of the week . . . Really? For the current weather we are experiencing, I should be nominating a pair of waders of the week!  With May apparently going to be the wettest month this year, a pair of wellingtons rather than a great pair of heels is what you need.  But why should they be boring. These wellies from Funky Wellingtons should be enough to brighten any dismal day. Got to protect those paws I can't forget my four-legged friends during the wet weather, our dogs still need to get outside and exercise but it doesn't mean they are waterproof!  So, a set of boots for dogs would be perfect to ensure those lower to the ground are protected from the cold too!.
