A Floral Dress with Olive Chelsea Boots

Regular readers will know that I love brogues and wear them frequently throughout autumn, finding them a versatile, practical and stylish option. The add a touch of androgyny to an outfit and can stop a very girly outfit from looking twee. If the ground is wet though, sometimes a brogue doesn’t quite keep the feet dry enough, which is where these ankle boots come in. A Chelsea boot style, but with brogue detail, these leather boots from Lotus have a low heel and come in black, brown, denim blue as well as olive which I’m wearing here. They’re beautifully made, comfortable and feel robust enough to trample through as many leaves as one would want to this autumn. They will of course look great with jeans, but I like wearing them with a dress too, especially while the weather is still relatively mild as it has been of late.

You may recall that over summer,  I wore this dress with tan strappy sandals, I love the muted yet bold floral pattern and think the olive boots compliment it beautifully.

    Beautiful dress and beautiful cardigan. I love the delicate pattern of the dress, and asymmetrical design cardigan. The boots are very nice, jewelry as well. A delicate and pretty look that announces the fall.

    These boots are lovely and I like the fact that they have a zip as I find the pull-on Chelsea boots a bit tricky with my dodgy knee! Thank you for showcasing these, Lizzy, I am definitely going to treat myself to these.

      They're lovely aren't they and the zip does make it so much easier to put them on! I hope you enjoy wearing them as much as I do xxxxxx

~ Specs by Prue 👓 ~ Yesterday, @benjaminoptici ~ Specs by Prue 👓 ~
Yesterday, @benjaminopticians, we had an open day to celebrate the practice’s 70th birthday. I was delighted to be sharijg the full collection of @specs_by_prue courtesy of @mac_eyewear_uk_ireland. It is a stunning, vibrant collection which is very wearable, very comfortable and beautifully fabricated. I always encourage patients to try something out of their comfort zone and it’s amazing how many will fall in love with a style they wouldn’t have gravitated to. 
I’m wearing model 22012 in colourway 3, tortoiseshell and aqua (with my prescription lenses in). Swipe to see it in detail and in other colourways.

I mentioned on my blog that I was stalking the matching trousers to this fabulous @me_andem jacket. My tenacity paid off and they came back into stock in my size so I duly snapped them up. And..they’re fab. I can’t wait to wear them both as a suit and as separates.

Ian and I went into Leeds for dinner last night to a fab restaurant (I’ll share photos later because the food was excellent). It’s our wedding anniversary on Monday so this was our celebration. I only got the jacket a few days ago and I absolutely love it. I’m going to wear it again later for a lunch date with Poppy. I’ll put all outfit details on my blog later on if I get the chance 🩷.

~Rediscovered~ I “rediscovered” this @boden_cl ~Rediscovered~
I “rediscovered” this @boden_clothing citrus-yellow necklace a few weeks ago when I was sorting through my boxes of costume jewellery. It reminds me of my early blogging days when a Breton top with a statement necklace were my school-run staples. Hard to believe that was a decade ago. 
Anyway, I’m glad I found it because I still love it 🍋.

~Wedding dress-up~
I loved playing wedding dress-up for @stepper.eyewear. Not every bride wants to wear contact lenses so we chose some beautiful styles that would make the perfect wedding eyewear. Remember that there is a choice of European, Asian and African fits too to suit different facial characteristics for #theperfectfit. All details on the STEPPER Eyewear website and on my blog. Links to both are 👆🏻.
This is model SI-30192👰🏼 
(The stained glass is in our hall @built_in_1873 by the way. This was one of the original features that stole our hearts when we viewed the house).

@cultgaia is one of my favourite brands for unusual bags and shoes- I love the bold details and unusual, often quite sculptural shapes. A treat for sure, but one I’ll enjoy for years 🍋💚
