Quilted Biker Boots, Silk Blouse

silk blouse: COS - denim shorts: vintage Levi's - quilted motor boots: c/o Bells Shoes - purse: Pimkie - watch: Zadig&Voltaire - necklace: Onecklace

These pictures and this outfit are some of my favourites of the past months. Everything came together wonderfully, I love the golden light and how the boots both match the outfit (quilted purse) as well as clash with it (silk blouse). And I had a major good hair day, thanks to my discovery of using my curling iron as a wand (just ignore the clasp). It's very soothing for a perfectionist like me when everything goes according to plan.

I don't know if you recognize the silk blouse, but I bought it last year in the sales and had it shortened this summer because I just didn't get enough wear out of it. Silk should always be immaculate, no? Creases or stains just won't do, and the longer your blouse is, the bigger the risk of creasing or staining. I think I made the right decision, although it always feels a bit like sacrilege to hack into an already beautiful garment.

The real star of this outfit is this pair of boots, though! I got them from Bells Shoes, but they're Clarks. I love Clarks! Their UK5.5 fits me perfectly, and I almost never find a perfect fit in shoes without messing around with insoles and/or thick socks. Before these, I did not have a pair of classic biker boots, so these filled that gap nicely. I especially like the fact that they're not completely flat, the 6cm heel is very flattering and still comfortable. Definitely a recommendation if you're looking for something similar.
