Channeling 'The Alt'!!

So! I found this image of Emmanuelle Alt on Pinterest the other day and I had just been thinking to myself that I haven't really made that many footwear purchases this season, especially in light of the fact that I recently flogged 5 pairs of boots on eBay! I have a few pairs of trainers (Superga, Adidas, Converse and New Balance), I'm looking forward to getting the Brogues out again, I have Chelsea boots, biker boots and some Office Ash Jalouse look-alikes, but I don't have anything dressy-ish for a ladies lunch say. Then I saw this picture and the hunt was on.

This is what a bit of research came up with!

Good old Marks and Spencer came up trumps with these Limited Edition faux suede boots with Insolia for £39.50! For me these are the perfect height heel and of course the Insolia makes them perfectly comfy. I have to say the first time I wore these it was raining and considering it was raining they fared really well.....no soggy feet!!

Now for the rest of the style steal! This Wallis military coat would be the perfect alternative to the designer version that the French Vogue editor is sporting above!

Add a Uniqlo merino crew neck sweater

Complete the look with these ASOS Ridley acid wash ankle grazer.

Voila! 

My version.

Uniqlo merino v-neck (current, here)

H&M jeans (sale, Spring 2013)

I love this look, it's one you are likely to see me in a lot! I did actually wear this to take my niece (sis was working) on a tour of what will hopefully be her new school. I did a quick change of coat when I got home as I was having a belated birthday lunch with some of my bestie's! We went to The Pig near Bath and I can't recommend the place highly enough......in fact I am off there again next week to treat my lovely mum to lunch!

Outfit same as above except for the M&S leopard print coat, here currently with 20% off

Next up is the school run outfit from Monday

Nine West biker boots (ancient)

And finally Wednesday's outfit. It's about this time of year when my coat obsession kicks in....this is my 3rd coat purchase already this season. I fear there will be more as my next post is all about a few high street bargain statement coats I have come across....bound to result in another coat purchase!! This little beauty is from Mango, sadly not in the current 30% off promotion.

Would love to hear your thoughts on my style steal, I love reading and responding to your comments as always!

Be back soon with that round-up of fab high street statement coats!

Cheers!
