Ofg course I had already googled 'joggy bots' thinking I was learning more britishisms from you, but all that came up were your own blog posts! Google bites itself in the tail. But, the real issue at hang, is how much I actually love your joggy bots outfit. I have always wanted to wear sweatpants out into the world, elevated somehow into actual pantsdom, but have never had the wherewithal or the guts to do it. When I get back to Madrid I'm doing it. I swear. And I will think of you!<br /><br />http://nomadic-d.blogspot.com/<br /> Nomadic D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06303665587576888183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-91707337709056324172012-12-20T09:41:55.362+00:002012-12-20T09:41:55.362+00:00You look great!

I raid the boys' and girls' departments in H&M, Gap and Zara a LOT! Favs are military style jackets, slim jumpers/cardis and jeans. And the men's department in Gap and H&M, fav finds are slouchy jumpers (brilliant finish and materials) and parkas - yes really!<br /><br />I'm resisting the joggy bots or whatever they're called, it'd be the beginning of the end for me - I mean I've only just discovered the joys of bf jeans so the bots would be much too casual though comfy I know.....However, the Next jacket is a different matter! Great shape and colour!

It still feels like me with my little face drawing (drawn originally because I was too shy to post a picture of myself). I'm always raiding the men's department for accessories but I can't carry off the jumpers too well as they tend to be broad of shoulder and narrow of hip.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656222741423910557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-59292112395973801232012-12-20T07:41:52.057+00:002012-12-20T07:41:52.057+00:00Kristina - I will dedicate a post to you and hopef...Kristina - I will dedicate a post to you and hopefully satisfy your whim for seeing me break out (slightly) ;o)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656222741423910557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-26348274039066916042012-12-20T07:40:46.552+00:002012-12-20T07:40:46.552+00:00Yup - it counts.

I never have the problem with the long leg department as you can imagine.
