Brrrr, too cold, what you go on?

Today was working in the am and had a meeting with SLT in a school.

I wore,
claret textured tights, Plumo
Black jersey basics dress- H&M I rather live in these
Worn under, cashmere vest- Brora
Navy slouchy blazer- Zara
Black suede boots- Clarks originals
Huge Cashmere scarf wrapped around my neck.

Hair is in a bun, and I have a longish Claudia Winkleman style fringe, and today I have muted orange/peach nail polish on from Top Shop.

I felt quite nice, and I like the cold. What have you got on?

Your outfit sounds lovely nil. I've been wfh today, I would normally have the heating on but DH is home so I can't, so I have thermals under (New Look) jeans and a (DP) red jersey shirt, with a fluffy throw and a cat on my lap to keep me warm.

ShreddedHoops · 10/10/2013 14:13

Your outfit does indeed sound lovely nil!

I'm wearing a new raspberry red cardi from Peacocks, buttoned up over a black vest with taupe J Brand skinnies, black leather jacket and huge leopard scarf. I need more raspberry red in my life, it really suits me - the cardi is a bit crap quality tbh but if you look at my face rather than directly at the cardi, it gives me a virtual facelift.

im on an office day and no client visits so I have a textured black skater dress from the dreaded next (was recommended on a thread on here), thick black tights (sainsbos I think) and a teal cardigan with a black zebra print, ancient m&s ebay bargain.
WIth £40 knee high real leather boots from asda. direct.asda.com/george/womens-shoes/leather-riding-boots/G004298502,default,pd.html I was going to wear shoe boots but wanted flats.

Dontletthemgetyoudown · 10/10/2013 14:20

BUt i'm still cold! I need warmer layers or some thermals.

ellesabe · 10/10/2013 14:52

Cobalt blue jeggings (M&S)
Enormous blue knitted roll-neck jumper (Matalan)
Plain white t-shirt underneath
Ancient brown knee-high boots (so old I can't remember where they're from and really need replacing before they get actual holes in the leather) Blush

Black baggy roll neck jumper over grey skinny jeans, forest green ash wedge sneakers and a big black and white scarf as it's freezing here. Hair also in a bun. Red lippy too for a change!

Hot, sunny day in Swansea!

I am wearing black boots, black leggings, a long sleeve black t shirt, a denim dress as worn by Katherine jenkins and bought from h&m for around £6!, a yellow floral scarf which was sold as a hijab but I wear it as a large scarf. Took my coat off it was so warm and took my daughter to Sainsburys as she finished school early, and it was very warm indeed!

SundaySimmons · 10/10/2013 15:47

I must add that my daughter is wearing these

www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004ETL1XS/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They arrived this morning before she went to schools and they are fabulous! I am thirty five years too old for them and they are not in keeping with my style but they look fantastic! The underneath of them has white bones!

My daughter looks like Boy George when he first appeared on Top of the Pops, multi coloured dreads, beads in her hair and bright blue patterned teeny tiny shorts worn over black tights, a rolling stone t shirt and one of my old coats, a kind of Navajo Indian affair! She looks fab!

Nilbyname, do your Clarks boots still look nice after a few wears? I'm always a bit dubious about keeping suede looking nice - although I love the style of the boot!

nilbyname · 10/10/2013 19:25

totally get you with your pic links!

carol yes the boots are wearing well, and are so so comfortable.

I really really want a cashmere cardigan, just not found the right shape yet.

Thank you. Tbh I spent most of the day with my heels kicked under the desk and my hair all over the place.
