Every now and again I like to try something completely new.
Something I would never normally look at.
A totally different style.
Something not very "me" at all!
{See this post and this one for more ideas, and this one about being braver!}
This top is not my usual style at all.
The colours are muted.
The shape is smock-like.
It's very boho chic.
BUT...
The beautiful aztec embroidered detail of this top really caught my eye.
The fabric feels soft, and the warm tones appealed to me.
Trying something new is always a good idea, even if you are supposed to be shopping for someone else!
{This blouse seemed to find it's way into my trolley when I was shopping for stocking fillers... oopsy.}
The easiest way to try something new is to pair it with something old, and very familiar.
Something comfortable and friendly.
I needed some "old friends" to make this outfit work.
The only way for me to wear such a spring-like piece is to add plenty of cosy layers.
A peach ribbed top and my usual thermal base layer worked well to keep me warm.
My "old friends" were these (very) old jeans, and faithful 'ugly' shoes.
They are the perfect partners for this new addition.

I'm wearing a pair of knee-highs (gasp!).
Granny pop socks??
Yes!
Not sexy, I know, but they keep you warm.
Remember that only great quality ones look decent.
(Don't waste your money on those nasty multipacks)
A sneaky trick!

Such a simple look for a mild winter's day.
