Penguin Suit

The sun has disappeared behind the white sky again, so monotone Ellie has returned. I was getting really bored of covering up in long jeans and jumpers, so on Sunday I braved the cold in a thin pair of tights.

I was in DC over the New Year period, and I did a little shopping, where I found this jumpsuit. I have always been a sucker for jumpsuits - no matter how inconvenient they may be. This one was massively reduced, had a little peter pan collar and a transparent back so I was sold. The jacket is just from H&M - It was part of their Paris Fashion Week Autumn collection. I spotted it in the window at High Street Kensington in October, and didn't stop thinking about it so I ended up hunting it down in my size. It does nothing to shield my legs from the cold, despite it's long back, but I wear it all the time anyway. My sister says it makes me look like a Penguin - and I have to admit there is a certain resemblance...







Wearing: Zara Jumpsuit, H&M coat, All Saints Booties, Coach Satchel. I can't remember where I got my cream Beret from, but I think I bought it in Berlin about 3 years ago.

Also, as a little bonus, this photo was too good not to share:

It's amazing what a couple of leather straps can do...



 My wardrobe is currently small enough to fit into a suit case due to my recent move, but the only shoes I seem to have packed are booties. In no way did this stop me buying another pair. I've been keeping my eye out of the perfect pair of black Chelsea style boots, and I finally found them at All Saints this afternoon!





Remove the buckles, et voila! Another look altogether. I plan on wearing them soon with a shift dress and my long tuxedo-esque coat from H&M.

But first - these babies need to be water proofed. London streets are calling!
