WIW -- Upping my style, for the sake of our fur-friends

So, my usual dog walking outfit is a little frumpy, starting with Shape-Ups at the bottom. For a long time I have been wanting a better walking look, here it is, starting with my new Simple Converse-type sneakers.

I find these shoes put me in a tomboy dressing mode.

Picture #5 is the other half of my fashion audience, the heifers are quite interested in my daily outfits.

ETA Simple shoes up close.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again - I love your photos! They breathe life Denise!

    Love the casual dog walking outfit - I'm sure all the critters appreciated it!
    (moo moo woof woof...just saying hi to the critters)

    Yeah, rock that tomboy vibe, Denise! The jacket in 3 is positively killeriffic!

    What a fun post! You always look great!

  • Kirti replied 12 years ago

    I love all these outfits! And your hair is always so perfect - what do you do to keep it looking so flawless? :)

  • CocoLion replied 12 years ago

    Ali, I love looking at pictures with everyone's animals, and if I remember correctly you have some gorgeous canids.

    Kirti, thanks for complimenting my hair, it's actually difficult to manage but I have been only using shampoo once weekly and the rest of the days I use Dove soap plus conditioner. It is way more manageable, not so fly-away now that I have changed my routine. It was Queen Mum who mentioned this routine somewhere on YLF a while ago.

    Those are cool shoes and tomboy but upgraded! Your pup must be a large one judging from the size of paws :)
    I like seeing all the "extras" like fur friends (and cows!) in pictures too.

    Very fun walking outfits. If you see people out and about on your walks, I'm sure they're impressed. :-)

    I love all these looks and those tennies are absolutely precious! What style are they?
    Also, it looks like you had really pretty weather when you took the pics!

    Very stylish! I can be so lazy when walking my dogs. I love the jacket in #3 -- it has a really interesting structure.

  • Angie replied 12 years ago

    I LOVE photo #6!!! So cute!

    These are fantastic dog walking outfits, Denise. You. Are. Fab. Love your stylish audience.

    You do know that any post with animals is an automatic KILLER/10 in my eyes?

    I love your upped style and your amazing outdoor shots.

  • Mo replied 12 years ago

    Also a fan of pic #6 :) Great upgraded walking duds!

  • Isis replied 12 years ago

    Absolutely love your new walking shoes!

    I love #6.....clearly, the juxtaposition of the white tips of your shoes with the black body of the shoes echoes the juxtaposition of the black tips of your doggie's paws with the brown body of his paws.....and, obviously, the silver eyelets of your kicks were chosen to echo his shiney claws.....I bow in awe at your attention to detail, Denise..... : -)

    Denise, you are just so gorgeous! How far can you walk in the converse? I never actually where mine to WALK in...

  • Suz replied 12 years ago

    Denise, you are STUNNING in your dog-walking outfits (and the animals are gorgeous, too.) I love your shoes. I own a pair of leather Eccos, not as cool as these but I really, really love them. They are supposed to be "walking" shoes but I wear them in the gym and outside for all kinds of stuff.

    Denise, thank you for sharing not just your closet but your outdoors with us! So inspiring and soothing to look at those wagging tails and shimmering treetops and calm cows on this too-much-to-do Saturday morning.

    LOVE the so-sharp-it-might-cut jacket in 3! That's taking tomboy and sporty outdoorsy to a whole other plane.

    And photo #6 is just brilliant!

    Love the solid layering and colours of the first outfit a lot, as well!

    Thanks for the inspiration, Denise! You've given me some great ideas for when I'm out walking our dogs.
