1st August, and I’m getting excited about winter clothes...

...anyone else??

I just can’t get into a summer style and much prefer winter. Now it’s August, it feels like new summer clothes would be a bad investment so while DH and DS are out trampolining, I’m looking at winter coats and new boots. I’m in heaven!!!

Yes! Ordered myself a new camel coat the other day. I can't wait for autumn.

On the flip side I live in Australia...1st of august and I'm getting excited about summer clothes! It's the first day in over a week it's not rained, it was 15 degrees ans I wore linen and flip flops, can't hack jeans and woolies much more! We went to the local botanic gardens and had a beautiful walk, there were signs of spring everywhere, ''twas lovely. Negative is that winter clothes don't usually need ironing, all my light summer stuff does!

I also bought a camel coat in the Flannels sale. Can't wait for colder weather.

I’m the opposite- still waiting for summer to start Grin

I don’t like really hot weather (25+) but we don’t get many days like that in the U.K.

I love anything from 15-25 degrees, love not needing to wear layers / coats.

It probably doesn’t help that I live in the world’s coldest house and I HATE being cold inside so I’m dreading winter

Me! I got a long wool skirt in the ted baker sale and can't wait to wear it with boots and a jumper. I was sorting my wardrobe earlier and putting some lovely soft jumpers away feeling excited about getting them back out Grin

Also on the lookout for a new parka but can't seem to find 'the one!'

Yes!! I hate summer clothes. Give me a hoody and jeans any day!

I don’t think it helps that summer fashion is so awful this year. Hideous 1970s tent dresses with dropped waists. And then you spot what looks like a decent long straight dress with a fairly acceptable pattern only to realise at the last minute it’s a bloody jump suit.Sad

I love autumn. Crispy, cold days with bright sunshine. The colours of the leaves.
Off to look at boots now.
