{What Mama Wore} Start Wearing Purple

Dreary days call for bright tights! It's been a bit cloudy/rainy/snowy (you name it) in my hometown this week, so yesterday I decided to lighten things up a bit with some purple legs and bright red lipstick. A sure fire way to beat those wintry blues, mes amis.




Dress: H&M // Shoes: Chukka Boots c/o Ugglebo Clogs // Tights: Show Your Legs // Necklace: Vintage

I should also give a bit of a shout out to the fabulous Chantilly of My Girl Thursday fame, who originally linked me to Show Your Legs -- otherwise known as "the eBay shop that makes me drool all over my netbook keyboard". Seriously. Click the link, then come back and tell me how happy that price makes you. You may also recognize these babies from our blogger tea party in November.



I also have to swoon a bit over the gorgeous boots Ugglebo sent me. Now, I'm not a short gal (about 5'8ish) so I don't generally go for heels. That, and I'm just about the most uncoordinated person you'll ever meet. These factors makes for a dangerous combination when it comes to adding artificial height. However, these sexy wooden clogs are insanely comfortable, easy to walk in and I haven't fallen once! A high compliment from this clumsy gal!

Thanks so much to the lovely Rebecca of Tango Women's Wear, who was kind enough to help me snap a few outfit photos!

PS. If you're a local, you should definitely pay a visit to Becca's shop -- she's pretty much the most adorable proprietress in town. She's also a Matchmaker.
PPS. I'm SO excited to see the sun shining today. Hello Springish goodness!
