His and Hers Outfits for a Forest Walk

I really need to get outdoors more.  We're spoilt for choice in our little Welsh valley with Forestry Commission land, parks, and mountains.  I doubt I've explored more than 5% of it!  One sluggish Saturday I dragged myself and my husband out of the house and proclaimed that we were going on an adventure.  I packed a flask of tea (what adventure is complete without one?), emergency bananas, and sensible shoes.  Our destination was a local Country Park that I've driven past a hundred times but never ventured into.  It turned out to be a magical place, with trails veering off into the forest in all directions, dotted with streams and waterfalls.

Coat: 1980s' vintage, thrifted

Boots: J Shoes

Faux fur collar: H&M

Faux fur trim gloves: Can't remember

Bag: Holiday souvenir from Spain

Pea coat: Ivy Oxford Company, thrifted

Jeans: Hollister, thrifted

Boots: G Star Raw, thrifted

Gloves: Vintage, thrifted.

After a very brisk uphill trek, we wound our way back down again through the trees and had a cup of tea in the car park.  We refrained from bringing out the folding chairs like you see elderly people do on their day trips, but I'm sure it won't be long until that happens.  Anyway, it's such a wellbeing boost to get out into nature for some fresh air and exercise, and I'm hoping we can get out a bit more regularly in the Spring when the weather cheers up a bit.  I thought there were already a few signs of Spring in the forest, including some catkins, so let's hope it's not too far away.

If my outfit looks familiar, it's because I wore the same coat and faux fur collar combination a few years ago in this post.  You can also see a little video clip of this outfit on my Instagram account.
