Firstly, excuse the food baby I have going on, that's what happens when I'm stress eating because I've had driving lessons and my practical driving test this week (which I passed and I still can't believe that I have!). I chose the gorgeous *Dezzal Bluequeen Red A Line Sweater Dress ($75.99) in the size M/Medium which is perfect for me and I'm a UK size 10.
The dress is a gorgeously festive cherry red shade which I love and it is made of a super soft, smooth and cosy sweater like material. The dress is very stretchy, very thick and it is really heavy - I was surprised when it arrived at how heavy it was. Today has been quite chilly and I can easily wear this dress with thin Primark tights and my Newlook leather jacket and be really warm just because the dress is very thick and cosy so it would be an ideal christmas or new year party dress this winter! Overall rating: ★★★★☆, 4/5, it's lost one star as the lower half of the dress is fixed into a flared shape and I'd rather it laid flat, if that makes sense.
I was also very kindly sent these gorgeous boots from the lovely people at Brantano! I wear boots constantly during the autumn and winter months...and spring too as they are so versatile and just go with everything! I find that some boots can feel fine for a short period of time but then they really start to rub which isn't great while shopping or walking round the Manchester christmas markets as it feels so uncomfortable but these boots are the comfiest boots I've ever worn!
I have the gorgeous *Clarks Enfield River Ankle Boots (£65) in a UK size 3 and they fit perfectly for me (I'm a 2.5 usually so I'd say to go a size up as they boots have a padded interior). I love the straps and buckle details and the chunky heel size which isn't tiny but it isn't too high either. The padded interior feels like I'm walking around in slippers, they are so comfortable and lovely to wear. I've been wearing them with tights and dresses but they would also be great with black jeans and cosy jumpers too - I couldn't be happier with them and I can't recommend them enough!
I haven't tried any Clarks shoes since I was in primary school and picking out school shoes but from now on I'll definitely be checking out their boots and Brantano have such a wide range of boots to choose from including gorgeous Clarks options. Brantano offer free delivery on orders over £35 and they have so many shoes and boots for men, women and children. If they have a Boxing Day or January sale then I will be looking out for boots on their website. Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5 as they are the comfiest shoes ever *not an exaggeration!*.
What do you think of my christmassy OOTD? Have you bought anything from Dezzal or Brantano?
