Oh hello my lovelies, hope you all had a lovely weekend. So last week the temperatures dropped again so decided it was time to get some boots on, but as I wanted to wear this new navy mini skirt opaque hose were the order of the day. So here I have paired up my black knee length boots with matte 60 denier taupe pantyhose, my new navy mini skirt and white crisp cotton blouse. I do so love the juxtaposition of these matte opaque hose against the boots and skirt. There is something quite intriguing about the hose disappearing into the calf of the boot. I had also forgotten how much I enjoy wearing knee length boots, so was very happy to be in them all day! Let me know what you think. Lots of love Bev ❤️
