Must have items for autumn/winter - your thoughts please

[littlemissindecisive]

Have shed baby weight and some so i'll be off shopping soon. No idea what i should buy! I spent last autumn/winter with a bump covered in jumpers, leggings and boots.

I need a new wardrobe for my 5ft 5 curvy size 12 and wobbly tum!!!

marking my spot. as I'm hoping to lose some weight, I'm particularly interested in shoes/bags/accessories.

The black trouser collection from Gap has been getting a lot of column inches.Plenty of styles to choose from here.Camel anything,capes,skinny belts,peeptoe booties,animal print-on bags,scarfs etc if you don't want clothing in animal print,pointy court shoes and across the body bags preferably satchel in style.Work out what shapes suit you,and colours,then mix high street with a few "pricier" items.Shift dresses,cropped trousers and generally a return to ladylike clothing,with below knee hemlines making a return,think Mad Men!

Wow! I kind of sounded like I knew something about fashion there!

Do you work, SAHM or what? What sort of day to day stuff do you need to be dressed for?!

I am 5'2 curvy 10-12 with wobbly tum! Things I am planning on searching out are -

slim fitting, v slightly cropped (poss) cigarette pants - I found some in M&S but they didn't have my size, so I'm hoping that they've now got more stock in;

a new satchel bag, possibly grey if I can find one: my lovely ancient brown one is dying;

pencil skirts and fitted jackets (love this look and do it a lot for work anyway);

lots of black!

This was a recent thread.....

autumn wardrobe

[traceybath]

I want an indigo denim mini skirt - not knee length and not just covering my bottom though.

And a knitted dress.

Thats it on my wish list at the moment.

BG - washed the anglomania on handwash cycle in machine and it was fine.

[BelligerentGhoul]

I handwashed mine, Tracey. Thanks for remembering me though!

[littlemissindecisive]

Thanks all - am a SAHM doing school runs, toddler groups and bfeeding and clearing up baby sick I like to be comfortable but smart. No silly high heeled shoes but not something frumpy either!

Cigarette pants sounds lovely - what shoes? pumps....also like the sound of camel!

I need a complete overhaul - shoes, boots, bags, coats, jeans, tops and the list goes on - still straightleg or skinny jeans??

[BelligerentGhoul]

Got some cigarette pants in M&S today but they don't seem to be on the website for some reason. They were 30 pounds.

I will probably just wear them with ballet shoes for work, as I'm on my feet all day (teacher!).

Shameless bump

Wondering if anyone has any links for me to browse? Baby and toddler DSs are a nightmare in shops!
