Autumn

I'm starting to think about Autumn because summer clothes in the UK bore me and we're not going abroad this year. Besides, Autumn is my favourite season!

So, I fancy:

a grey biker jacket;
some really comfortable grey or tan wedges;
a grey silk top (not traditional blouse style: a nod to vintage would be good eg Peter Pan collar or tiny cut out details or something);
a fantastic pair of grey trousers for a short arse.

Anybody fancy inspiring me? :)

Remus, have you looked on TKMaxx website ? Was browsing last week and am sure they had grey leather biker jackets.

Don't like either of those blouses, sorry Kitten. I don't want a blouse but a top (pref without the button down as I'm big chested so buttons tend to gape) and the neckline needs to dip or slash a bit.

Will deffo look at TK Maxx; I hadn't thought of that.

It's silk. It's retro. It just isn't grey.

Laurie, I have a cardi just like that from M&S last year which is gorgeous. Full price it was £120 ish and has been worth every penny. Keep an eye out I am sure they might do them again.

Ugh no - don't like that yellow one at all, sorry.

The cardigan looks lovely and snuggly but the price makes me feel a bit sick and that drapey shape is no good for the large of nork ime.

balmain do a fab grey biker jacket - only for lottery winners / slebs tho

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/07/2011 18:59

Am not a sleb - I like the prices of the TK Maxx one!

There's one in the Vivienne Westwood sale but it's black. I'd be v tempted if it was grey but black ones make me look like an aging goth.
