Neutral Tones feat. Clarks Shoes | My Ensemble (OOTD)
Do you often find that when purchasing new garms, you're drawn to particular colours or colour combinations? For a while now, black and white has made a dominant appearance in my closet (you've probably noticed from recent OOTD posts), but so has neutral tones: the sands, the khakis, and light browns etc.

I normally buy a new pair of brown boots every winter, and spotted these from Clarks while window shopping just before Christmas. When I think of Clarks shoes, 'quality' instantly springs to mind, but up until recent months also 'boring and bland'. However, particularly in the past year, the brand seems to have made a really good attempt at reaching out to younger buyers by bringing out more appealing and on-trend styles.

Now, you may think these boots are plain and nothing spesh, but I would beg to differ. Firstly, the quality is top-notch (as you would expect from Clarks), and secondly, I'd found it really difficult this autumn/winter to locate a pair of riding boots with the perfect slim fit structure - i.e. not overly big around the ankles or calves - and that are comfortable. These boots are indeed made for walking; I could wear them all day, and my feet would still love me afterwards.
What makes the purchase of these boots even sweeter is the fact that I got them in the sales, and on top of that, because they were the last pair and had a minor scuff on the inside (hardly noticeable to some), I managed to sweet-talk the store's manager into giving me a further 10% off. Boom! What do I always say? If you don't ask, you don't get.
Little Man makes his OOTD debut in this post. Usually he's a total poser and jumps at the prospect of having his photo taken, but he was a bit grumpy over the weekend.

I decided to buy Little Dude a pair of Clarks shoes too. They're are perfect for little tiddlers, especially in their early years where they are exhaustingly hyperactive - they're durable and tough, so can withstand all the jumping and stubbing.

The colour blocking on this Marks and Sparks jumper instantly caught my eye. I love putting Little Man in bright, vibrant clothes, particularly to add a bit of cheer to these dark, winter months.
If you're wondering, I did manage to tickle a smile or two out of this little fella by the time we got home.
