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 :)

I want some brown ankle boots that have a bit of a 'Victorian street urchin' vibe. Been looking for several years, but not found my dream pair yet.

American Duchess?

I’d really like a black wool coat to help me transition into winter but before I need my quilted coat. If I lose the baby weight quickly enough I want to buy a few thin jumpers from Uniqlo. But other than that I’d done for autumn I think. Bought 2 pairs of check leggings from M&S to work along side my jeans. Trying to have a capsule wardrobe but it seems to be growing by the minute!

Black brogues. With knee length stuff. Shall of course avoid the Miss Marple look so no tweed! Think brogues might work well with a mix of fabrics like tulle and lace.

Got the above from F&F who had a great one-off campaign a few years ago. It ya a timeless style and looks waaaaay more expensive than it was.

Thanks, Dance but they're not the sort of thing I have in mind. I'm thinking more 'little boy' street urchin! More like this

@BenWillbondsPants the Mac has arrived and it is truly gorgeous.

BenWillbondsPants · 13/08/2019 15:03

It is isn't it @Lumene. Glad you love it. X

LuxuryWoman2018 · 13/08/2019 15:49

Oh god, I still really love the Mac but I’m not sure how much use I’d get out of it and although it’s a bargain can I justify it - torn 🙄😊

BenWillbondsPants · 13/08/2019 16:16

You can always justify a beautiful mac @LuxuryWoman2018!

I intend to wear it with just about everything. It'll look equally fantastic with a skirt/dress and boots or with jeans and trainers.

I'm not helping much am I ..?

EnidButton · 13/08/2019 16:31

If you really love it then it's worth it Luxury. Finding things you love and make you feel good when you wear them, is quite rare I think (is for me anyway). Plus it's a good buy! I vote keep.

EnidButton · 13/08/2019 16:33

Luxury Sorry, thought you'd bought it. Buy it to try on at least. You can always send it back.

PeriComoToes · 13/08/2019 16:39

atalune swooooon at those All Saints boots

PeriComoToes · 13/08/2019 16:46

fabala will you post a picture with of the Ossie Clark trousers when you dig them out? What a wonderful gift!

LuxuryWoman2018 · 13/08/2019 17:06

Gulp, I just bought it ! It does look lovely and Ii got a £20 tell your friend code if anyone wants it, orders over £79, I need to email it to you.

Lumene · 13/08/2019 17:27

Glad you bought it too Luxury

I had a code but couldn’t get it to work on the Mac.

I think it will last for years, but you can always send it back if you don’t love it.

LuxuryWoman2018 · 13/08/2019 17:35

I tried a code too but probably not valid on sale items Lumene
It was hello2019 probably for non sale stuff and once I’d bought the Mac of beauty they sent the friends share code.

I want some black heeled knee high boots that are straight rather than fitted. To go with 2 lovely skirts I scored in charity shops this summer. One suede like feel dark charcoal/black the other a lovely watercolour swirl of almost floral with blue brown and soft yellow. I have a chunky knit black jumper. I think this will look great. The boots will go with other dresses too. Plus maybe another oversize textured jumper.
I'd also like a trench but a billowy one - brown beige. Sort of eighties. Long. Looking forward to my black ridiculously long coat. They say short people shouldn't wear long coats but I love a long coat.
Maybe try those curved trousers...
Looking forward to autumn perfume too. I miss my warmer scents.

LuxuryWoman2018 · 13/08/2019 19:13

poster lasttimeround short people can certainly wear long coats, anyone can wear just about anything and look good if the proportions are right I think.

LuxuryWoman2018 · 13/08/2019 19:14

Don’t know where poster came from, I just copied your name 😊

Fazednotc0nfused · 13/08/2019 19:32

Picked up a Mint Velvet parka in a charity shop today - a previous seasons version of this www.mintvelvet.co.uk/product/navy-lightweight-zip-parka/23596

It’s immaculate and perfect for autumn

lasttimeround · 13/08/2019 19:33

Luxurywoman thank you, I totally agree. And think I get it right. I love a good long coat on me.Grin

Sigh81 · 13/08/2019 19:41

From Sands and Hall @lumene. I think they have gone bust now but you can probably pick them up on eBay :)

BenWillbondsPants · 13/08/2019 19:47

@LuxuryWoman2018 Oh I hope you love it!! Please let us know, when you get it.
