Joseph and his amazing technicoloured...

...BOOTS. 

I know.  Not even I can go a coat just yet (believe me, I will be all over them in a matter of weeks) but in the meantime, I am chuntering about all things bootish.  A word I made up.  But I think should be added to daily vocabulary as I adore all things bootish.  Basically boots (sort of see why it's not actually a word...). 

For me - this is the season of coloured boots.  Not necessarily in the same pair - although yes, a print boot has its place for sure. 

I am talking a pair of boots in every colour.  Which, logically, means we're not talking mega bucks here.

Usually, I invest in one good pair of boots a year.  For good, read expensive. 

However, since I've done this for the last couple of years, I've got some gems i'm looking forward to wearing and also bought a pair of Isabel Marant's in the sale, so I don't think I need to splurge (FAMOUS last words... and do not quote me on this).

It doesn't mean that I don't *need* any new ones though.  PAH.  It means a couple of pairs of one season wonders can definitely find their way into my wardrobe. 

And what better to lift the spirits going into Autumn, than with a pair of brightly coloured ones. 

I should probably work out what colour I need.  Actually I know I'd really like a pair of green sock boots.  Which are the proverbial rocking horse poo it seems. 

If I wanted pink, I would be buying these in a heartbeat.

A bit.  Not exactly what I'm looking for..

So I think I'm going to plump for the lilac Mango ones.  Why?  Because actually they are the perfect match for about 4 of my dresses last year and I think they'll give them a whole new lease of life.  If that's not a good reason, I don't know what is. 

But today - no boots - just good old trainers.  A lovely Saturday, packing for my 10yr old who is going on his first week long residential holidays SEVEN hours away.  West coast of Wales.  My 13yr old went a couple of years ago and loved it but it's a whole new ball game when you throw SEN into the mix.  Chances of me sleeping this week?  Nil.  I KNOW he'll absolutely love it, he's a confident and lively child.  But his social skills are somewhat skewed so I will essentially be papping my pants till next Saturday evening. 



Tee - Quattrorish
Blazer - Topshop

Tonight though - home made ribs, coleslaw (bought) and Strictly followed by The X Factor.  Pretty much my perfect Autumn evening.  (with a bit of online shopping in at some juncture, I"m sure... all in the interests of research..)

And do let me know if you've bought into letting your boots do the talking?  Or are you all about the black or tan still?  I will definitely be looking into loads more ankle boots - buckles and studs coming up shortly.
