Trenchcoat here mostly due to weather, sometimes a longline chunky cardigan.

Sorry to hijack, I've been thinking of trying this look (right now, I don't even have a look, it's 'whatever fits') - what footwear?

Can't see my surfy trainers working with it really...

It was boots in the winter and now is ballet pumps, and might be wedges in the summer [wishful thinking].

Im wearing black ballet pumps now from Asda, I actually bought them in an emergency (heel broke) but they are sooo comfy!

coats I wear either a long cardigan, light mac / trench coat or a parka style coat.

Shoes - well they go with court shoes, shoe boots, knee high boots or in the summer flip flops or ballet pumps

I just got a lightweight parker (although, it's bloody snowing here!) from Debenhams, looks great over legging/long top combo.
British summertime?????

i've got some leanback ankle boots that are good for this in between weather with leggings. Not warm enough yet for me to dig out ballet pumps.

I'm getting a bit annoyed by my long cardigans, though. I got a couple of belted ones, and while the chunky one is OK, the thinner one feels like a dressing gown. If I wear it unbelted, it looks too huge.

On the other hand the long boyfriend cardis with buttons look even more dowdy. Not sure how the long cardigan has got so far, to be honest.
