I need a new winter work wardrobe please help!

I'm so bored of all my clothes and its definitely time to change into something a bit warmer.

Office enviroment, smart/casual but I tend to dress more to the smarter end. In the summer my outfits are usually: wrap dress/flats, cigarette trousers/fitted top/sleeveless or capped sleeve shirt, i'm not adverse to fitted clothes and they look better than really loose stuff.

I want to be warm mostly! My office is quite cold. I like heels and really want a nice pair of knee high boots to pair with tights/dresses.

At the moment i'm getting by by chucking a blazer over the top of my summer stuff and wearing tights.

Size 6, 5ft 6, straight up and down, no boobs to speak of, good legs!

What would you wear? I have a debit card and £300 spare (but that needs to do me for the whole lot), winter coat is already covered.

Thank you all!

Oh also finding the boots is a real struggle, they seem to all be 'wide fit' and it looks like i'm wearing wellies! The pull on ones seem to fall down the whole time!

Get yourself to primark, I use to love roll neck tips and high waisted skirts/trousers in this weather. Blazer and boots if really cold. Belts/scarfs for accessories 😊

Haven’t been in Primarni for years, not sure I can face it on a Saturday, I’ll go and check it out tomorrow

I don’t really have a waist so high waisted stuff tends to slip down and I look like I’m wearing my mums skirt Grin

I get cold very easily so wear a lot of jumper and pencil skirt outfits to work, with thick tights and heeled ankle boots.

One of the best work jumpers I've got is a cashmere cable knit from Uniqlo in grey. It was really affordable.

@PennyandtheJetz love a pencil skirt! Have you seen many around this season?

Is the cashmere recent?!

Primark is one of my favourite shops, I always stock up when I come home once or twice a year. I also would take a trip to Select, they usually have pretty jumper dresses, if that is your cup of tea! I wear jumper dresses (some roll up necks) with black leggings. Select also always have two pairs of leggings for 8.99 which is a bargain!

Sadly it's not a recent find, but I know uniqlo do cashmere every year.

For pencil skirts I have a couple of Karen Millen ones I've had for several years, and I also have a COS one that I love
