MIXED MEDIA ON MOTHERS DAY

I must confess!  I didn't wear this today, Mothers Day, I wore it last Thursday for a day of shopping with a girlfriend, and have only got around to posting it today.  

draped tie cardigan : target
draped dress / tunic : boohoo
mixed media leggings : zara
ankle boots ; hush puppies
silver earring : gift from my lovely friend Karie



Mixed media has been popular for a while. I think I started noticing it about 3 years ago and it is in our stores again this year. I bought these ponte/faux suede/leather leggings last year and I really enjoy wearing them... in fact I have worn them twice this week. I am also preferring the way they fit now over how they fit last time I posted them on the blog, when I was 8kg heavier;)   When worn with my wedge heel ankle boots they can create the illusion of a long mixed media over the knee boot - which is kind of cool.

I also like the added interest the texture of these leggings proved to an all black outfit.

And now that the weather has cooled it's time to get out my Nine West Houndstooth Bag which due to the fabrication is a 'winter' bag for me.  This is a favourite and a very lovely gift from my sister.

While I love my mixed media leggings, the only other mixed media item I own is a coatigan. How about you? Are you / did you wear mixed media garments during your winter?

And Happy Mothers Day to you all!  I received a lovely new item of clothing and a beautiful picture frame for my home office.  My adorable Master 12 also brought me a very strong cup of coffee in bed at 7.30 a.m!!

  3. Happy Mother's Day! I love the mixed media leggings - as you say, they look like OTK boots. I like the way the bag, earrings and nail polish break up the black, also. That looks like a good shopping outfit - easy to remove layers!

    1. Thanks Petra! Funny thing is I am a tea drinker but he manages the coffee machine better than the hot kettle! I nearly didn't buy that bag, my sister had to talk me into it... so glad she did!
