I haven't bought most of them yet, but:

  • felted wool biker jacket (probably the toast one)
  • flat ankle boots, yet to be found, but probably chelsea boots, lace up DM type boots or maybe ankle biker boots
  • leather leggings (I WILL find some that aren't black that are actually within my budget)
  • Oversized cashmere/merino sweater or sweater dress

Well, I just cleared out my wardrobe (moth related issues and general "I'm so OVER these clothes" clearout) so I'm getting new stuff (at some point) and want to do it right, get good quality that suits me and fits rather than random crap that I begrudge wearing.

  • New Coat. I want something tailored, in black, that's very warm and is not polyester
  • 2/3 skirts that are knee length. Maybe one pencil, one a-line and one other
  • 2xpolo neck jumper for when I can't be arsed
  • berry coloured round-neck jumper (I'm all about round neck jumpers this year)
  • high heeled boots
  • nice heels.

Brothel creepers or some low, flat chelsea boots.

I shall continue to wheel out my belted wax Barbour international as I still have a lotta love for it.

lots of mahoosivee statement necklaces as a lot of waht I'm wearing this season seems quite bloke-esque.

Liking the sound of all of these ladies!

Hopefully I have just invested in some DM's as I like you was on the hunt. In the end I found them in tkmaxx for a bargain £35 so that sorted my dilemma. Hasn't stopped me looking at others though.... Seems I'm never happy.

I just had my new next catalogue arrive today and I'm actually liking a fair amount of this seasons items!

I got a Melton Military coat (double breasted) in the Jigsaw sale. No idea why they'd put it in the end-of-summer sale Hmm but I'm not complaining - it is luffly, perfect fit and colour for me, and 139 quid is a good price for a wool (mix) coat. I plan to wear it until the temperature drops down to North Face levels.
