Autumn/winter 2014 planning ahead fashion thread 2014!

[Madaboutthrows]

It may be sunny but for some the next seasons are the best for fashion so here is a thread to start planning.

Today I bought some patterned tights in New Look that were on sale and I have seen quite a few things I want for the next season.

Have my eye on a pair of brown brogues - the more mannish the better for me, they need to make a statement! I can't decide between the boots or the shoes. One of the top 3 on this page, I love them all!

I'm also after a coat - tried on this one yesterday

Dd said it looks like something a granny might wear, despite her opinion I think I fell in love with it. Definitely has to be a colour this winter rather than black or navy - I don't need black or navy

Also planning to buy more cashmere from uniqlo because its cheap and it's been the best purchase ever, even for summer evenings it just feels fabulous and has washed really well despite being dry clean only.

Would love a pair of baggy trousers tapered at the ankles, not sure I can pull them off but I'm slightly obsessed with them.

So bored with skinnies and heeled ankle boots, I need something new!....which means I don't need anything!

Love those brogues rainyday, like their loafers too....

I wear those horrible feet socks made of tights fabric with my brogues. It's ok though as no-one can see them and they're popular in the USA, I get them in leopard or zebra print. They're pretty comfortable and stop shoes rubbing completely.

I've bought a lovely vintage fake fur bomber jacket, some vintage maxi dresses and am hankering after these, but am at the price... If anyone's seen any cheaper gold boots?

I bought some distressed gold boots last year from anthropologie, similar but zip rather than Chelsea style. A lot of the gold has worn off so I'm going to respray them very lightly this year, you can get gold leather spray from amazon if you have an old pair of boots

Butterflies I love the loafers too and they might just be robust enough looking for me but so far every pair I've tried just look too prissy and a bit dull, on other people they look great but I really struggle with anything that verges on classic....love on other people just not on me.

tethersend Boden have got some gold boots in their clearance section, think they're called Boho Boots. Nice style but a bit bling for me :)

Tethers - I don't know what size you are but these are much cheaper.

More sizes here but more expensive.

Ooh, thanks actually LOVE the boden ones, but they don't have my size (8)... Will look down the back of the sofa to see if I can afford the ash ones

Tethers - I do love you and your crazy boot aspirations.

Dolores - I got These but I want some more leather ones too - maybe these or these.

Remus I want these really, but they don't fit and I can't sell a kidney...

Yikes! To be worn with a skintight silver jumpsuit?

I do quite like the Ash ones - would be nice with a skirt like this but not that colour.

I have a LOT of lurex in my wardrobe

I am seriously tempted by those ash ones...

I love autumn/winter clothes! No particular plans yet; looked at the August Vogue and it basically seemed to be saying that jumpers and coats would be the thing - well who would have thought it I lived in midi tube skirts and ankle boots last year and won't be too upset if I end up doing the same again.

Sainsbo's magazine (right at the cutting edge of sartorial matters) says we'll be wearing khaki and camo - I like both. I have this skirt, which I love wearing with heeled ankle boots.

I read that too..this morning on dressipi. Seemingly khaki shirts are going to be really in! Sadly, it isnt one of my 'colours'

Oh and Tethers I'm sure I've seen gold boots in TK Maxx recently. Can't remember the brand and there don't seem to be any on the website at the moment but worth keeping a lookout.

Ew at Khaki.

I've got some Topshop khaki skinnies, which I like, but never know what shoes to wear with them.

Thanks Flo, will check.

I won't be partaking in the khaki revolution.

Unless we have an actual revolution of course; then it's fatigues all round.

I love the gold Ash boots! I'm very tempted to order a pair. I like the idea of khaki skinnies too but am not a fan of camo (yet! )
I think I need some new converse too- I like the idea of tailored wide leg trousers with converse for work. Maybe with a fitted shirt or blousey-type top? I'm getting far too excited at the prospect of new clothes. I need to have a massive wardrobe clearout first. I find that I can put outfits together much more easily if I have a limited selection! Having too many clothes makes me feel like I have nothing to wear- does anyone else have this problem?

And tethers, your last comment really made me laugh- it startled DH!

Converse for work? Would have to be a v casual place. I like quirky camo, like the skirt I posted, and a Topshop pencil skirt I failed to buy and still hanker after.

It's casual Remus! I could wear jeans if I wanted to but rarely do. Your skirt was lovely. I think I'm haunted by the thought of some unwise camo purchases from the past....

I bought seriously hideous camo tights as a joke to freak a friend out. Wore them for work with a skirt suit and heels!
