On January 1st I did show you some photos that I want to explain a bit further here. My Old Boots are actually over 30 years old and I did rejuvenate them with some Tacco Deluxe Full-Length Orthotic Insoles from Germany. The New Sweater is from Saks Fifth Avenue where I got it for 60% off and Free Shipping; shown towards the end of post...
How did I rejuvenate those old suede boots with teddy lining?
The wear and tear was mostly inside and I found on line from Tacco some Deluxe Full-Length Orthotic LEATHER Insoles. Love to walk in these boots! You can see those soles below the first pictures.
The skirt I am wearing is a printed hair calf Escada from the Outlet.
Panty hose are French DIM Ventre Plat in the color: Emotion.
These boots are made for walking...

This leather Tacco Black Deluxe Orthotic supports your medial arch and metatarsals.
That makes ALL the difference for walking.

Love this cropped sweater and got mine in Small.
Now the price went up again and is only available in Medium and XSML
It pays off to receive emails from Saks Fifth Avenue for their special deals!

You look adorable Mariette! Those boots look like they're well made and well loved:)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! It's good to take care of quality clothes and they will last a long time! I have a beautiful London Fog trench coat that I have had for 30 years and it still looks new and up to date. I love those insoles, they look so comfy and you look amazing! xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful Boots and a really nice new Sweater!
ReplyDeleteSuits you really well, dearest Mariette!
Have a happy week,

Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletegute Qualität zahlt sich immer aus. Du siehst toll aus in dem Pullover, Rock und deinen Lieblingsstiefeln.
Liebe Grüße, Johanna
Wat een mooie trui en wat een prachtig slank figuur heb je Mariëtte.
ReplyDeleteWat bijzonder dat je de laarzen al zo lang draagt, ze lijken me inderdaad heerlijk lopen.
Hier in Holland heb je nu ook witte tv-schermen, maar toen wij destijds deze kochten zag je dit nog niet. Alhoewel ik moet zeggen toch weer voor een donkere rand te gaan.
Ik wens je een fijne dag.
Lieve groet, Mea
Wat zijn ze leuk,
ReplyDeletetijdloos mooi.
Fijne dag, lieve groet

Dear Mariette,
ReplyDeleteIt's always neat to see beloved items rejuvenated and still in use. And the sweater is so 'you'!
I have a pair of boots that I have thought of as my 'new boots', until it was pointed out that they are at least twenty years old. They are probably the most expensive footwear I have ever purchased, even at 60% off. Worth every penny; they're still going strong.
Enjoy your day.........*s*
Zo mooi en inderdaad tijdloos.....liefs van mij....xxx...
ReplyDeleteNice boots and I just love your skirt.
ReplyDeleteHugs
WOW Mariette, la maglia e gli stivali sono bellissimi...ahhh, me ne sono innamorata!!!
ReplyDeleteUn caro abbraccio dall'Italia♥

ReplyDeleteMy hat's off to you, Mariette! (My resolution - not to buy one single article of clothing this year. And if you can keep boot for 30 years, I should be able to do the same!) <3
