Outfit #13

Untitled #83

Untitled #83 by labelleestlabete

I made this set because I got a new coat from Khujo. I really needed a good, solid coat in Germany because the winter is so unpredictable. A few years ago, a big snowstorm hit Europe (the one that shut down all transportation for 3 days) and the snow would go halfway up your leg. Praise be unto combat boots, I say.

I'm not using combat boots in this set, but this sneaker-boot style from Demobaza. They're more interesting than a simple boot or sneaker, but more comfortable than breaking in a new pair of boots. I talked about Demobaza earlier in the Headhunter post. 
A tip I learnt recently was that if your new boots are rubbing at the heel and causing blisters, tighten your laces right up at the toe end. I tried it with my newer combat boots and they didn't budge after that. No more preemptive plasters!

I used a dark denim to match the coat, and a black-and-white scarf to add contrast to the outfit.

Outfit #7 (Headhunter)

Headhunter

Headhunter by labelleestlabete

The All Saints scarf made an appearance in my very first post here - I really like this type of big, soft knitted scarf. Blanket scarves are everywhere this winter, and there's enough fabric in this one to keep drafts off your shoulders as well as your neck.
The Hades boots were used in an earlier outfit and I think they help to keep an otherwise plain outfit eye-catching. 
The bracelet is called the Throwing Star cuff by Lynn Ban, which fits in nicely with this "classy ninja" thing. 
The jacket by Demobaza is one of my favourite things (I actually have a product from a set in my wardrobe! Hooray!) - if you want something from them, I'd recommend going up a size as they seem to run a bit small.
Incidentally, this is one of the few sets with a title - I was listening to Front 242's "Headhunter" and built the outfit with a (hopefully) similar vibe.

Outfit #4

The Boda Skins jacket makes another appearance. This was a pretty typical work outfit at my last job - we weren't customer-facing, so anything went. My skull-print scarf got used pretty often, and so did my straight-legged black jeans.
Here's a tip: if you're a full-figured lady, go to the men's section and try on their skinny jeans. You might need to go up a size or two, but they fit more like actual straight jeans than the ones in the women's section. I have to admit, I shop in the men's section a lot. Their T-shirts are just better somehow.
