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 :)

I have just bought 2 pairs of ankle boots from Clarks (well actually my dad is giving me one pair for my birthday next week).

£69 each.. the Verona Trish in dark tan & the Verona Rock in black.
Both have a block heel but are really comfortable to walk in.

I wouldn't usually spend that much but my old black ankle boots hurt my feet & my old New Look grey ankle boots have fake fur on which I get a bit tired of.

I'll wear them with jeans, skirts & dresses, they'll look good for day & evening wear.

@BenWillbondsPants I will report back, you're a bad influence 😁

I've ordered this. I saw it in RL but it wasn't in my size. I have high hopes because it looked gorgeous

Just walking home from a physio appointment and it's feeling distinctly autumnal already!

@LuxuryWoman2018 Sorry, not sorry!

@BenWillbondsPants 😆
I’m sure I will be pleased with it, I was going to buy a new coat but to be honest we don’t often get a long stretch of really freezing weather do we? Just drizzly murky weather. If it does get very cold I simply won’t go out! I do have a parka that I can use for extreme cold.
Anyway, point is I’ve actually saved money by not buying a coat and I might have spent more on one so as you see I’ve been thrifty. Well done me.

If it does get very cold I simply won’t go out!

Love this.

@Lumene 😆
I can talk myself into things pretty easily, hope it arrives soon, the weather is not what August should be.

LuxuryWoman2018 - you know you've just jinxed us all and we will have a long hard winter now!

The rain mac I had my eye on isn't available in petite in my size! I'm most annoyed the DCs had to be fed when I was about to order it on line so left it a couple of days... Now I'm grumpy.

On the upside, I have a new handbag being delivered today, it's terrbly mumsy, but I ummed and arhhed when it was full price, left it and it sold out in the shop I was looking in, then found it in the House of Fraser sale, so have ordered!

Very autumnal dress IfIShouldFall thanks the link, never heard of that brand, looks good.

Item has been dispatched email came, very excited.
Hope you love your handbag disgruntled

Lovely colours in that dress, IfIShouldFall )and great name - bloody love that song!

Thank you Ellapaella, you have just found my winter coat. Now what colour...?

I had a little play around with some existing clothes yesterday and have found my trusty old/soft lovely cashmere crewneck from M&S.

Wearing it over lots of my summer maxi/midi dresses looks good! I’m so pleased.

I’m trying to buy second hand, less or borrow from friends. Sort of a clothes swap.

You have good taste in music and in clothes

I want to see if I can find jumpers which can go over my midi/maxi dresses @Atalune. Should they be a bit cropped? I’m pear shaped so I tend to vent my flowy dresses quite high

If anyone finds or sees slim fit black boots let me know, it’s still a bit early I guess. I’m fancying myself in the mac with perfect boots. I totally forgot about a pair of leather gloves I have so that’s a bonus, I didn’t wear them last year I don’t think.

I have a jacket which has a one popper fastening which is loose, I hope fabric glue fixes that as it’s too thick to sew through the material.

So for me I am an inverted triangle, and I find a slim fitting jumper that sits on my waist or a cropped sung jumper works best for me. I think that a more cropped/fitted shape would work for you and show off your definition of waist/hips.

My waist is nonexistent so anything longer with a floaty skirt makes me look huge and like a big boxy oblong.

The weather here is vile today, but it's quite nice that it's cool enough for jeans.

@Atalune - I need to do that, spend some time trying on my autumnal/wintry things and work out where the wardrobe gaps are.

I think it might be safe to pack away the shorts now...

@LuxuryWoman2018 I love my black cady belle boots from Clark’s. My legs are slim & they fit lovely

DisgruntledGuineaPig did your new bag come ?

You know we might get a last blast of summer still

I’ll have a try, thanks @Atalune

@ happytobemrsg I just saw your reply, thanks I’ll take a look, I don’t want boots gaping around my calves

I've thrown a bit of caution to the wind and signed up to try a stitch fix box. Put in loads and loads of details, linked a Pinterest of things I like, looks I like and I'm going to get sent 5 bits of clothing to test next week. Probably going to hate them all but for £10 thought it'll be an interesting experience. Anybody tried a device like this and been happy with it?
