Autumn/Winter - what will you be wearing?

[CaitAgusMadra]

So now that it's officially autumn (kinda) and the weather has been crap here today what do you think you'll be wearing this autumn and winter?

Inspire me before I spend yet another winter wearing skinny jeans, ankle boots and slouchy knits

Are boyfriend jeans doable in winter? (I normally wear mine rolled up and I'm not a fan of cold ankles!)

[EnidButton]

And kittens. I can get on board with accessorising with a kitten. Perhaps it could perch on the shoulder the coat isn't draping off. Like a fashionable pirate's parrot.

[EnidButton]

(I've read the article on full now btw. It is mainly bollocks but victoriana, velvet, military and oversized coats seem to be the themes.)

[crazymissdaisy]

and speaking of pirates, my sister and I were doing fantasy autumn wardrobe building last night (we're Irish too, it's Autumn now). I have frittered precious salary on knee high lace up boots and some victorian blouses, was tempted by velvet waistcoat til DSis pointed out I would be cosplaying to work as a lady pirate....

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

The boots sound great though!

[crazymissdaisy]

lol yes, I like Joe Brown's boots and shoes (though not so much their clothes).

[Elbadram]

Oooh I love Autumn! I have a few things on my wish list, but this does remind me that I need to start clearing out my wardrobe and donating/ebaying things as I have way too much c̶r̶a̶p̶ stuff.

I have my eye on

A cashmere shawl from Love Molly
This PU dress but I'm not sure if I have the confidence to carry it off www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Linea+Flora+PU+full+skirted+dress/235541855,default,pd.html

I really want some ankle boots with a cone heel, but I do have 2 pairs of wedge boots from White Stuff last year which I still love. Has anyone seen any nice ones?

[Statelychangers]

And I want a Lady Di Blouse - you known the ruffle around the neck thing? I love and suit polo necks so I'm guessing I'll love a high necked blouse but I have a generous chest so open mind I must have!

[Cellardoor23]

I love Autumn clothes! Especially cashmere jumpers and a good pair of Chelsea boots. I've also bought a tartan scarf. A big blanket one in deep red.

Finding it a bit of a nightmare to find a decent coat though. Any recommendations for pear shapes?

[EnidButton]

Oh yes, I'll be able to dig out my lovely tartan scarf again. I'd forgotten about it.

[Oh2beatsea]

I did a big Konmari clear out in the spring so I don't really have any autumn / winter clothes other than jeans so I'm looking forward to starting to find some nice clothes. I must remember not to be tempted to buy lots of coats - I got rid of lots that were hardly worn. I did manage most of last winter with a mac so might try the same this year!

[Statelychangers]

I couldn't get on with Konmari - I liked the organising of the socks and underwear but folding other things just made them more creased. I love having lots of different coats and jackets....I get to indulge in good quality, distinctive tailoring without feeling over-dressed.

[Deianira]

I've just bought this dress as a relatively simple dress for work - glad to hear that burgundy (although is that different to maroon?) is back in, as that's a colour that's always worked for me quite well! Got a new job recently, and am trying not to spend ALL of my salary on new clothes - tempting, as it's been a couple of years since I've been able to afford much!

[Deianira]

Double-post - I'd echo the nice coat requests please, if anyone's seen anything good out there. I'm looking to replace my tired mac/trench coat - ideally with one in black/navy.

[ImYourWomanJonSnow]

I just ordered these www.brandalley.co.uk/15178360.html

Only had size 7 left (I'm between 7 and 8 and small 7s are torture), fingers crossed. They are a bit flash-in-the-pan fashion, but they're not breaking the bank so if I get lots of wear out of them this winter all will be good.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

I really like tartan scarves but I don't want to wear one if everybody and his dog will be. I might go bright orange or something instead! I've got a Parka London parka (what else?!) and am v tempted by this to accessorise it hood

[ImYourWomanJonSnow]

Remus love the fur thing. But £35!

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

My reckoning is that I got the coat for around a third of its original price, and a nice scarf would cost at least £35, so it doesn't work out at 'that' much!

[Sun16]

I want to wear

-Tan ankle boots (saw nice ones in Anthropologie) (this will be a big departure from my usual black)
-Heavy Mustard cable knit
-Leather mini A-line skirt
-Some kind of cropped/rolled/cuffed chino trousers (again a big departure from usual jeans)

[HoggleHoggle]

Sun I'd love a mustard cable knit, let me know if you find one! Seasalt had a mustardy loose knit earlier in the year but every one I looked at had lots of clicks in it.

I've already bought two loose jumpers from Boden, a black and dark grey. Would like another one ideally, I have no nice jumpers and looked round loads last autumn for the sort of thing I was after.

I am also planning to buy these boots - I had the brown ones last year and wore them loads.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

With wide legged trousers, I quite like a chunky heeled ankle boot. This sort of shape People will probably say it's a 'mum boot' but I can live with that.

[Statelychangers]

Wide legged trousers I'd go for a white tennis shoe or black trainers with a white sole - I love the slouchy look.

[Cellardoor23]

Remus- Strangely enough, I haven't really seen anyone walking around in tartan scarfs. Maybe it's not quite 'Autumny' yet? I don't know. I have a few. Like I said a big blanket one, a smaller version I got from house of Fraser originally £30 reduced to £7.50! And I have a dark green one.

[EnidButton]

Remus Nah. I think the criss crossy sides make it a none mum boot.
