Hi everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend and what a mix of weather we are having at the moment! The sun is out in spurts and it's really quite nice and warm- those extra layers have been held at bay for the foreseeable future. So when layers are not necessarily needed the next logical style step to think of is footwear. After indulging in some skate shoes and wearing these in between trainers and sandals, I was really pleased to find some long lusted after pair of shoes last week which are ideal for all seasons- the classic black brogue. Here are my picks of the best this season:
Saint Laurent patent leather, £530
TODS, £270
ASOS Millionaire leather brogues, £35
ASOS brogues, £25
Here are my version- they are vintage Loakes, bought as new and unworn in my local Salvation Army charity shop for just £15. Brogues are such a versatile and stylish alternative to a trainer or skate shoe and can so easily smarten up a jeans and jacket combination too:

To what I wore one day last week for a day out in London- my newly thrifted Monsoon blouse in one of my recent posts, some Reiss skinny jeans which were thrifted last year from my local Sue Ryder charity shop for just £1 in their sale and my Primark skate shoes:

I can't believe how comfortable skate shoes can be, if I'd realised I definitely would have bought some in Spring, but better late than never, huh!

Wishing you all a fabulous week ahead and I do thank you for your continued reading, support and comments- they are so much appreciated and I look forward to visiting you as soon as I can!

you look amazing, love your blouse!
You look so cool and casual in that outfit, and I love your skate shoes! Not sure I will be wearing brogues though, I'm not leggy or tall so think they look much better on others.
Sharon! How lucky were you to thrift those Loakes.....I am green with envy yet again as they look amazing!
Love you outfit too, fab purchase with the skate shoes! They will definitely see you the next few weeks stylishly!! xx
Loving your outfit with your skate shoes. I'm on the lookout for loafers at the moment and I think I've found the right pair! Lynne x
WOW, the LOAKES!!!! SO envious! My husband paid £150 for his!!! They were his wedding splurge so he had a lovely pair of shoes for best!!! You did really well.
I adore brogues- I have several pairs and I really do love them.!x
Oh Sharon, how do you do it girlfriend! Those loakes are such an amazing find....!! Xx
Can't go wrong with brogues, can't have enough pairs of those
We sell lots of vintage gents' brogues to men and women alike. Jon's a fan although they're not something I'd wear.
Such a pretty blouse. x
What a find! I love a pair of brogues as an alternative to heels for work
Oh Sharon those Brogues you got are amazing, truly gorgeous and well worth the £15! I must confess I have two pairs of skater shoes and have hardly worn them, it's been Birkies all the way for me! x
Hi Darl! Those brogues are amazing! What another great find! I've been after a pair too but ended up buying a silver/stone pair instead which I totally love! Ax
