Jumper: Fat Face, Skinny Jeans: Gap (Always Skinny, grey wash - my perfect skinnies), Boots: River Island
These boots, which I almost didn't buy (good job I had my shopping devil with me), kind of make even the most basic outfit feel a little edgier, thanks to the baby studs and the fact that really there is nothing cooler in life than cowboys (I have zero interest in The Lone Ranger, but I want the LEGO sets...). John Wayne films, the image of shoot-outs at dawn, the swinging of saloon doors and the danger of the 'Wild West', the remembered details from history classes and modules, jumping on your horse and heading out alone... it's all imagery that sticks with me. Even though sartorially speaking the boots (and the knotted square scarves in winter, kind of like Celine AW12) are all that I'd adopt, doesn't mean that I don't feel as though that one item gives me mythical, and entirely imaginary, badass-ery.
