Winter Fashion: What I Wore

Perhaps its a sign I'm getting old, that when I saw the snow covering the path outside my house on Monday morning, I groaned in annoyance. Still, the one upside of the snow is that it seems to make everything look pretty; at least until the fluffy white icing turns into a slushy brown mess. So, not wanting to waste the opportunity, I donned my warmest parka, jumped into a snow-friendly pair of boots and ventured into the wintery wilderness to take a few snowy snaps.
As lovely as the snow looks, the real star of the show here is a beautiful pair of graphic print trousers, which I picked up for the relatively reasonable price of £50. I say relatively reasonable, because these trousers were designed by Donatella Versace when she produced a collection for H&M- a collection which sold out in a matter of days. I very rarely wear these beauties. Whenever I do, my friends say I turn into a mother with her toddler- overly protective and quick to mop up any unwanted spillages, with my bare hands if necessary.

Still, this was a chance I could not miss. The black and white print contrasts sublimely with the snow-covered landscape. Of course, they stand out in almost any environment- particularly in chav central, Stevenage town centre, where I wore them last- but I think they look extra jazzy in the snow. I wore a skull print scarf, which I think looks like a McQueen's scarf (but for a fraction of the price at £5), to add some consistency to my colour  scheme. A sensible pair of black boots, with leopard laces to make them a little more interesting, are a staple item for the snow. And of course the classic parka looks fantastically warm in any inclement weather- wind, rain or snow! I stuck on a few badges, just to add a bit of detail.
