Geek Chic part 2 - Up With The Clark's!!!

Hi Gals, hope your having fun this weekend, welcome back to part two of Geek Chic, Ok once upon a time there was a little girl of about 12 who had very odd duck shaped feet, her mum wanted to make sure her feet were healthy so bought her good quality shoes from clarks, sensible brown lace up miss marple style, that the girl thought were blah and used to swap for strappy shoes from her school satchel with a spindly heel as soon as she left home!

Now whilst I realise that these accessories are super lady like cool now, they deffinately were not back in the day and my brown leather lace ups were no way as sophisticated as these suede chocolate beauties above, are you feeling my teen angst yet?

So how does the story end? Well the girl has grown up and Clarks shoe shop has turned into a beautiful Swan of a shop, selling comfy shoes with an edge. Over two season's ago I bought two pair's of neutral toned shoe's in the sale. The first pair these boots from Clarks, clog shaped fronts, check, double buckle's which tap into the hot aviator trend, check, in a nude colour check and guess what I reckon a hybrid clog and aviator boot in nude with a dippped heel, is even more on trend now, than two seasons ago! Now that's value for money!   

                                                                       

                                                                 

 My 2nd pair of sale bargins, bought two seasons back also, these cone heel peeptoe shoes in mushroom suede from Topshop, cone heels are making a big come back and well truth be told I would just wear them anyway, for there oldy worldy charms and luxe feel!

Geek Chic Part 1- Roxanne....

Hi Gals todays post as you can see is dedicated to Geek Chic. I firmly believe that perfect beauty alone can be boring and there for geeky. It is our distinct feature's that help create our unique signature style and often people with distinct features that know how to work them, whose style we remember most. When I was young I wished I had a more prominent nose like my mother or a fuller cleft chin like my father, I think women with cleft chins look great! One of the great advantages of strong facial feature's is that you can play with wearing bold sculptural jewellery, hood's and hat's all of which I crave, but honestly, bold statement piece's look silly on my neckline, as they tend to over shadow my small face and feature's. My advice take a fresh look at what you consider to be your worst facial feature and play it up, you will probably be surprised at how it opens up a whole new world of makeup and accessory options!

Sigh, I guess a statement cuff or bangle will have to do!
