Winter OOTD Ft. Pertz Leggings

Firstly, let's address the obvious - I'm so pale, I'm basically transparent! This must be what voldemort looks like in a dress *cries*. Anyway, for the past few months, I have been wearing leggings constantly which would have been unthinkable a year or so ago as I was a jeans kind of girl through and through. Leggings are SO much more comfortable and I have worn out the cheap Primark and Newlook leggings I have so when this delivery arrived, I was interested to give them a go.

I have the *Pertz Shapewear Leggings (Small, £45) which are the capri length as I am teeny tiny! The leggings are made from an Italian stretch fabric and they claim to retain their shape time and time again which is a big claim and one of the points I am always let down by with leggings as most seem to sag and stretch after a couple of washes. Mine have only been washed a handful of times and they seem to have retained their shape really well but I will have to see with time.

Leggings: *Pertz Leggings 

I personally love this outfit, it is cosy, warm and very comfy thanks to the massive scarf, loose jumper dress and super stretchy, smooth leggings. The leggings fit me well, the length is perfect, they stretch a lot so food babies aren't a problem and they seem to suck me in a bit. The leggings don't bunch up at my knees, they don't slip down and they look great with so many outfits. The one feature of the leggings that I'm not so sure about is the finish as they are a bit shiny so they look like yoga/exercise leggings rather than the leggings I have been wearing previously and because of this they do make a rustling noise when my clothes move against them which is a bit annoying. If they had a matte finish then they would be the most perfect leggings ever!

Have you tried any of the leggings from Pertz? What do you think of my winter OOTD?

Winter OOTD Ft. Outdoor + Country

Autumn and Winter are definitely my favourite seasons not just because of the chilly weather, seasonal drinks, baking, christmas, halloween...ok, I think you all get it now, but one of my favourite things is autumn/winter clothing and layering! Cosy winter jumpers, boots, snoods and hats are staples in my wardrobe as well as fleece leggings and coats; I tend to spend so much more money on my wardrobe at this time of the year than any other time and it's easy to see why!

Here's my outfit of the day from last week *you have to photograph and plan ahead during this time of the year when there is actually daylight #BloggerProblems* featuring cool grey tones, a cosy sequinned sweater and a gorgeous fedora from Outdoor and Country.

Sweater: *Dorothy Perkins
Jeans: Topshop
Boots: Riverisland
Hat: *Barbour 

I was very kindly sent the *Barbour Tack Fedora Hat (£49.95, Small, Grey Melange) which is just gorgeous and I know I will get so much use out of it! I've tried a couple of jumpers from Barbour x Bella Freud and I love them so I was excited to try out another item from Barbour. I don't own any hats in this style so I didn't know if it would suit me but I think it does and it fits really well; also I think it will go with so many winter outfits. It is composed of 100% wool and it has a leather rose detail.

Overall, I love this outfit and the hat definitely completes it, I don't know why I haven't bought a hat like this before! I thought it would be too big or too wide but it fits perfectly and I love the colour as grey is definitely a go to shade for me as it goes with everything and it looks so chic. Here's my winter wish list:
