I'll start with coat.

I love this one www.zara.com/ie/en/woman/coats/duffle-coat-with-faux-fur-hood-c269183p2093504.html

Nice coat but the buckles would be annoying I think.

I'm struggling to think of anything I need! Maybe a new flannel check shirt and a cream jumper.

GiniCooper · 27/08/2014 08:09

Good point on the buckles.
I'd probably just leave them open.

Still can't find boots.
I imagine it will be scarves rather than scarf for me.

This is my coat post

I know this sounds extravagant but I have different coats for different needs

Warm and waterproof coat for dog walking, winter beach and countryside - I've bought a Didrikson Taylor but it's a bit tight on lower body so I've now bought a Didrikson Elsa which is a perfect fit and looks better on. Both in navy.

Waterproof but light coat for dog walking, autumn beach and countryside - I've bought a mid blue Seasalt Hellweathers coat which looks like a frumpy sack on the website but is actually a parka shape when worn.Looks hideous on the hanger but is a Fantastic coat when worn.

Cotton traders waterproof lined parka which is furry lined for in between days when a thick coat is too hot and a lightweight one not warm enough. Again, this looks hideous until you wear it. It's not the current season but I bought it new and unworn from ebay.

Every day coat for shopping etc - ASOS showerproof parka. It's gorgeous and is showerproof. Very warm with lining and cool without. Very pleased with this.

Still looking for a smart coat. I liked m&s grey boiled wool one that Amber valetta modelled but I haven't seen one like it.

Although I've bought a few, they were all in the sale or cheap from ebay, so I've not spent too much and am pleased at my bargain prices.

My boot post

Seasalt wellies in the sale. Fit my wide feet. I did buy Derry boots but they are a bit narrow so not sure if I'll sell them on if my daughter doesn't want them.

www.fifecountry.co.uk/footwear/womens/wellingtons/longboat-wellies-3240

I did order two pairs of Chelsea boots from asos but am returning them as they're a bit narrow. I've ordered two pairs of clarks orinoco club in tan and black in wide fit from Simply be as they're cheaper than clarks website and I got an extra 20% off with a code

www.simplybe.co.uk/shop/1/_/N-1ytvgps/Ntt-Orinoco+club/products/show.action?hnid=2000&type=cmr

I have bought a Caterpillar pair of boots from ebay for hiking. She said she'd worn them once, but they arrived looking brand new and unworn!

Still looking for a couple of smart boots with a heel or a wedge.

Shia · 27/08/2014 11:26

Scarf wise vie only bought one so far as I so have a lot of scarves already

I bought this

www.asos.com/Becksondergaard/Becksondergaard-C-Starry-Sky-Smokey-Scarf/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=3181228

Some of Becksondergaard scarves are poor quality and very thin but some are very nice! This is a nice one, huge and a decent thickness without being heavy. I'm not sure if the ones in TK maxx are seconds because they are cheap and thin. ASOS Have a few on sale but my grey one is now out of stock.

Shia · 27/08/2014 11:28

I like the Zara duffle coat but also don't like the buckles.

GiniCooper · 27/08/2014 16:27

Ooh, Shia loads of lovely things there.

I need to look again when I've more time.
I have that Becksondergaard scarf too in the peach colour and I don't like it at all.
I have the feathers one in mouse grey and it's lovely. They're hit and miss.
I'm thinking I'll look at the 50/50 wool/silk ones.

Ok, back later.

I bought this scarf in the recent clearance in a gorgeous clear red colour, along with some gloves and wristwarmers.

I am watching a beautiful wool and cashmere coat on Ebay (not linking because I selfishly don't want any more competition Grin ), it is brown.

I don't really need boots but saw the Clarks ones somebody linked on here recently in store and really liked them, soooo...maybe Smile
