Autumn wardrobes.... what are we thinking of?

[pinkflamingo22]

I look forward to September and the change in weather move to autumny clothes.... I don't know why but I really, really fancy some super leather cowboy boots... plus pinafore dresses :)

The trench arrived, omg I love it. Feels lovely quality, beautiful

Fantastic colour cheese

I've found the item I was looking for, a burgundy cord mini skirt on ebay for £8 (new with tags). Now just need some decent thick tights and some lightweight fitted jumpers. Everything seemed to be acrylic and oversized last year.

Meant to tag and thank @BenWillbondsPants. It’s gorgeous, I shouldn’t have really but it’s so nice. Still pondering a mustard crossbody.

@LuxuryWoman2018 I'm so pleased you love it!

Ben it fits beautifully, very flattering and I’ll have it for years, I couldn’t have justified full price but this was a proper bargain.love things that come in fancy boxes too (shallow)

Yey so glad you love it too @luxurywoman2018

I never seem to find anything on ebay... how are you all doing it?!?!?

@LuxuryWoman2018 I know it's a beautiful coat and it won't date at all.

Yes can we have some eBay tips please? I don't use it really so don't have a clue how you find the good stuff.

Glad you went for it Luxury! Is the fabric really nice?

I’m thrilled with it BenWillbondsPants just had to go out in the drizzle so it’s been christened 😊

Love that first wear feeling! Congrats on your excellent purchase.

EnidButton yes, it’s fabulous. It hangs really nicely, great detailing, good fit, nice deep colour. Also came in a fancy box with some skincare samples just to add to the luxury feel.

Honestly, I love clothes and bags but I’m perfectly happy with charity shops and supermarkets if the item looks great and the quality feels decent. I also think cheaper can look great with the right accessories (not necessarily expensive), it’s how you style things.

But yeah, I’m delighted with this.

eBay-
Look at the feedback
When does the item finish- is it convenient for you?
Check the photos carefully
If it’s got a lot of watchers be prepared to be outbid
If you’re the only bidder or one of 2/3. Watch the minutes count down and put in a bid with one min to spare. Then with 11 seconds to go place your bid, confirm it and then press hit with 2 seconds spare. Put your max in.

Thanks Atalune

It's very Autumnal here today. Rain and wind. Not a nice walk through the woods kind of day but it's giving me cosy Autumn vibes anyway. Going to go through my wardrobe again and get a couple of outfits ready.

Perfect kind of day for wearing a beautiful new mac Enid

I’ve been through my wardrobe today and I seem to have a lot of bobbly jumpers, I do want some cosy sweatpants or similar, something I could nip to the shop wearing preferably but very relaxed.

I'm still in the market for a new trench mac - I'm only 5'1" so need a petite range one, you cant really change the sleeves on a mac with things round the cuffs.

The Hobbs one would be perfect (and love it in Navy, clay and cream!) But all sold out in a size 6. I need to look elsewhere - has anyone seen a nice petite mac?

Its interesting how many of us are after thin, layering jumpers and dont want ones made of crappy materials.

Theres clearly a demand, uniqlo do have some nice ones, although the crew is always a bit too tight around the neck for me. I think a boat neck style would be good.

I’d like some soft cowl necks, polo necks make me look all boobs and v necks show of my sun damaged chest, a cowl neck for me is good to show necklaces.

Any chance of a modelling pic of your coat Luxury ?

I’ll try later as I’m on the move at the moment SpeckledyHen. It’s very flattering, the models on the website are ‘real shaped’ women and on instagram there a few similar women wearing it and they all look great.
I’m rubbish at pictures but I’ll give it a go when I get a minute.

So, it hasn't arrived yet but I snuck a look at the check out on my Stitch Fix (I'm awful I know) and I'm pretty impressed. A relaxed Warehouse blazer in green which may cause me to return the mustard one downthread, a pair of mango tailored black trousers, a pair of Scotch & Soda hi-rise skinnies which look like a real contender to replace my batter pair, a PU biker jacket (which I won't keep as I have a real leather jacket and I'm holding out for an all saints one) and a striped seersucker cami (which isn't really my style but I'll give it a shot and try it on). I'm quite impressed as they are all very "me", higher end high street (most expensive item was the jeans which were £95, but what I'd want to spend cash on). Just gotta wait for it to arrive and try it on. I spent hours doing their little quizzy thing and really hammered my style and did a Pinterest board but, for £10, I'm quite impressed.

That sounds a really useful thing cheesenpickles yet mighty dangerous and expensive. I’ll look into it but this thread has already cost me a fortune.
