I seriously need some inspiration for my winter wardrobe!

My best recent purchase is this dress from topshop (even though I'm probably too old to be shopping there!). Its very flattering on my short, pear-shaped figure and looks great with black tights and boots. Great for any occasion.

DP gave me this today. I absolutely love it!

Have started a thread asking how best to style it as I'm not the type who looks amazing in jumper and jeans the lucky cows.

Thoughts?

Can I shout out , I HATE the new jeans trend ""HATE"" them . Already seen a high waisted short cut pair on a man when I was out at the weekend . I'm skipping this one

wiltingfast · 18/10/2016 21:18

Link Remus? Maybe sneakers? has sneakers on the brain currently

Yvaine how about boyfriend jeans? Maybe a white t shirt or an actual shirt underneath? Skinny blacks would also work. What's your usual style?

wiltingfast · 18/10/2016 21:19

Really like it actually, where did he buy?

Imnotweirdimlimitededition1 · 18/10/2016 21:30

Oliver bonas batwing jumper grey with silver threading on neckline and sleeves- love it very smart casual for work or going out for dinner

Florathefern · 18/10/2016 21:30

Remus would brogues work? I saw a fab pair of burgundy ones in Massimo Dutti today. Too £££ though.

I've bought a navy faux fur jacket and knee high boots. A stranger told me I looked glamorous last week. This has never happened before.

I have some of the new style 501s...maybe they would work if I put a white shirt under.

The ideal would be black skinnies, but sadly I'm a bit on the portly side for skinnies with a non-bum-covering jumper. Maybe this will act as incentive...

He got it online, wiltingfast. It's by Bella Freud.

havalina1 · 18/10/2016 21:49

SurTrinder oh I want that green dress too now I see it and it's out of stock!

wiltingfast · 18/10/2016 22:31

Love it. Have decided it would look great over anything Grin

I wear it with my vintage bands t shirts, a red leather pencil skirt and biker boots.
Or flared jeans and a shirt.
Or my 70s dress and platform shoes.
Or my off the shoulder jumper and my denim midi.
Or....
Well anything really. It's so soft and fluffy.
Yesterday I had a nap under it on the sofa.

LeonardoAcropolis I love those boots. I am a 6 1/2 (they don't do half sizes) would you say their sizing is generous or tight? Thanks.

TransformersRobotsInDaSky · 19/10/2016 14:05

I have bought this Autograph top which is nice heavy fabric and hangs really nicely, love it.

I bought this as part of an order of 6 other things from M&S but the rest were truly shocking and had to go back.

carrie74 · 19/10/2016 14:09

LOVE the Bella Freud jumper ❤️❤️❤️

I was in London Town the other day so had a mooch around Cos, tried on loads of tops/knitwear, and almost unilaterally wanted them all. But I'm sensible, so only bought one: it's cuddly and warm, and I adore the shape. Being Cos, it looks shit on the website.

I am a short , fat nearly 60 year old. Big ass and big post meno boobs. Don't I paint a lovely picture?

I have about 8 items of unworn clothing, no shoes/boots, no winter jacket/coat and no bloody idea.

HELP

user1471438788 · 19/10/2016 14:19

@Yvaine Black A-line skirt, black tights and ankle boots :) Perfect for autumn!

DressedToExpress · 19/10/2016 14:19

These boots in grey. It took all my willpower not to order a pair in every colour, esp the leopard print. m.boden.co.uk/en-gb/womens-shoes-boots/boots/az232/womens-zip-high-heel-boot

Bumblebzz · 19/10/2016 14:33

It's a bit boring compared to some of the cool stuff here but I just took delivery of a uniqlo ultra light down parka jacket and i love it, as it packs down to nothing it will be perfect for stuffing in a backpack when I jog to work (always had a problem with the return journey and freezing without a coat)

TheWantedOne · 19/10/2016 14:39

I just got this: www.mintvelvet.co.uk/charcoal-faux-fur-buckle-gilet/mint-v/fcp-product/7589
It's so soft and warm and I can't stop stroking it...

Dancergirl · 19/10/2016 14:43

chanie I love the French Connection dress, what body shape are you if you don't mind me asking?

Dancergirl · 19/10/2016 14:46
