Outfit of the day: take me home country roads

I spent the Christmas break at home in the beautiful Lake District; before returning back to busy city life at the beginning of the week, I managed to get a few outfit snaps up in the fells. I must admit even though I was born and bred in the country, I still have yet to completely master the art of dressing appropriately for the mud and the rain that is so predominant in the Lake District. Anyway, I took full advantage of the scenic views whilst I could and I tried to be as practical as could be; my beloved military boots did double up as great walking boots!!
I promised a few weeks ago I would combine each pop swap haul item (clothing I acquired from a clothes swap event I helped manage) into an outfit. This look includes the silk vintage shirt which I took from the event.

Aviator jacket - River Island
Fur scarf - Abakhans (fabric shop)
Vintage shirt - free/swapped
Jumper - Topshop
Leather trousers - H&M
Military boots - H&M
Necklace - Miss Selfridge

I can't get enough of my grey, sport-chic jumper; it's mega comfy and easy for layering over shirts, as I've done here. I bought the aviator jacket from River Island a few years ago and went off it until recently. I'm not so keen to wear it on its own, but paired with my ultra furry scarf, I've found a new lease of life for it! It almost looks like the scarf is part of the jacket and I like that! I purchased the scarf from Abakhans (a fabric shop chain), I think I payed about £4 for it- it's just a length of fabric! I wear it to death in the winter time; it's easy to just throw on with any of my jackets and it keeps me so warm!
I kept my bottom half black and streamline because the top half of the outfit was quite busy, I didn't want to distract away and clash with that.
I will keep including my 'pop swap items' in my outfits of the day post over the next few weeks!
