Spotted! Kids Converse Street – yes, Chuck Taylors for the Winter!
We LOVE Converse boots – you just can’t beat a pair of classic Chuck Taylors, even after all these years. But. They’re not the most practical of winter shoes, are they? They get wet… and cold. So I might’ve squeaked a bit when I saw this little pair of magic-ness over on tReds. They’re ‘Street’ Converse; they *look* like Converse, but they’re leather. And fleece-lined too! Genius!...

The first set we picked...

Spotted! Beautiful wool jumpers – fleeces be gone!
This year I am determined – I will NOT resort to wearing the dog-walking fleeces every day. I simply refuse. But what to replace them with? I need something warm, something comfortable, something happy with jeans as well as a skirt and boots… Well, that fabulous cowl neck sweater up there would be a good start, don’t you think?
