Autumn/ winter buys you’ve made so far?

The only deliberate purchase for the season is a pair of new boots from the Clarks outlet. I needed some more after getting a good length of wear after my current pair which have sadly started to let the rain in.

Sandro jumper bought second hand with a high percentage of wool.

Isabelle Marant Etoile jumper NWT at a charity shop. This is thin enough for dull days where it’s more to keep the chill off.

I've bought a navy cashmere cardigan.

Have my eye on a couple of pretty white frill-trimmed blouse.

I keep seeing leopard print winking at me.

I'd like a new (silk?) midi-dress to wear with suede boots to dinner parties

I don't think I need too much else this AW, to be honest. Famous last words!

Currently in Toronto and all the stores are stocking Autumn / Winter clothes already. They make it look so exciting and beautiful. Anyway, have made a long list of Uniqlo bits to buy when I’m back in the UK next week!!

I bought a long Barbour coat in the summer sales.

Also booked in to get my bright blonde highlights toned to dark blonde. My roots are so dark I may get dark brown but I’m scared 😂 not fashion related but I have noticed more brunettes than usual so maybe brown hair is trending?

Ohhh, is there no Uniqlo in Canada? I'd be lost without it - probably 50-60% of my wardrobe!

They have huge Uniqlos. They have too much choice and it’s all too pretty!! Didn’t want to buy it in Toronto and have extra luggage to carry 😂

After telling myself that I don’t need anymore clothes ( just done a massive declutter and found some lovely long lost pieces), I’ve just bought a Hobbs tilda coat in the sale. I already have a navy one. It’s the most flattering coat ever and classic, so I’m not going to beat myself up over it. But that’s it. No more! One in, two out from now on.

LesFlamandes · 10/08/2024 12:14

@10weekcountdown I too love the Tilda coat. I have a purple one and it’s the softest, smartest coat ever.

Funnily enough, I’ve just purchased the purple one. It will look good with my existing clothes. I’m going to chuck out two old coats that I bought on a whim, have hardly worn and don’t suit me.

I have a few things still on my wish list, not from any particular store.
Im still hunting for the perfect white/cream and black cropped cardies (I just cant seem to find anything quite right!).
Also I want a cropped puffer coat in a nice colour because winter is depressing enough without having to wear my old black coat all the time!

I bought a long Barbour coat in the summer sales.

@sausawyee I am jealous. I have a thing for Barbour coats! I would love a Ganni. Arbour jacket. I found a Barbour jacket several sizes too big and more of a three quarter length jacket in a charity shop that I have worn already and will accommodate the extra layers that autumn and winter call for.

Not for me but adult DD. A hell bunny pinafore dress, which she's been lusting after for a couple of years, and a hoodie to go with it.

I genuinely love all the seasons, but I'm really looking forward to colder weather because of things I bought in the summer sales; pair of boots and three chunky big cardigans.
