So, what would your Autumn capsule wardrobe be?

[TFINaptime]

I'm a SAHM with a 15mo DS and I need ideas!!

Just to be back on thread for a minute.........

My autumn capsule wardrobe is:
skinny jeans (black, indigo and vintage wash)
merino and/or silk sweaters in variety of styles (v-neck, oversized Stella McCartney-esque, roll neck for late autumn) and colours.
A selection of dresses - including shift, tunics & jersey
Top Shop long sleeve tees in variety of colours for layering
Leggings
Ballet pumps
Boots for cooler days
Two drawers full of scarves and pashminas to go with

And DH says I cannot include any of my coats in my capsule wardrobe as apparently they are an entire wardrobe by themselves.

I wondered that too Fluffles!

tuple it was from a vintage/retro shop in Greenwich, SE London ... wore it last A/W with this top in a deep fuschia-y pink, if that makes sense

I did see a nice leather skirt in one of the weekend supplements, actually .. could almost swear it was M&S? Slightly A-line and maybe with a zip detail ...

black sequin mini sounds fab!! I do have a bit of a thing about sequins ... love them. Don't have the legs for a mini though, not this winter anyway!!

Fluffles, I will definitely be wearing jeans tucked into my boots (and hopefully those boots will be Bailey Button Uggs as long as Santa plays ball......)

If skinnies fill you with dread without accompanying boots, how about a really great pair of straight legs?

I am so with you on the jeggings thing

Cashmere tights sound wonderful!

I think i will too Tulpe.Did wear them last year on occasion,but felt a bit constrained ,IFYKWIM.
Need some new skinny/stright leg jeans really.Might try New Look,as I don't want t o spend much.

thanks tulpe, will straight legs go inside the boots without needing to be folded over or scrumpled up?

if so, they might be the answer...

I want cashmere tights too

Well,I sayy cashmere....they have them this year too..beautifully soft,lots of colours,cost around a tenner I think.Mine from last year seem ok still,so worth the money IMO

Is anyone else lurking on here for inspiration ??

I always end up in the same old stuff from previous years despite saying I am going to buy new stuff.

Oh my - have just looked at the Noa Noa site and I want everything! Where can I find it?

Janeie,they don't sell online themselves yet,apparently it is going to be launched next year
lots of independent boutiques do it,plus they have a few shops themselves,mainly in the south
Inis online do some,as do a few other online boutiques.
Google Noa and see what comes up!
oh,and ebay of course...

Fluffles - depends on the cut, tbh. I have Top Shop Marthas which are straight leg rather than skinny. They definitely do not require folding over/scrumpling up to fit inside boots. They do, however, tend to require constant pulling up.....but I am long in the body so find jeans a difficult area anyway. They are a very popular choice on this forum, or so it seems to me.

Have ordered Boden straight legs (in bid to find jeans which do not expose underwear/muffin top on incredibly long-bodied woman) and hopefully they will arrive tomorrow so will report back.

Am stealing some ideas from this thread!

So far I have

Skinny jeans and leggings
Couple of sweater dresses
long boyfriend sweaters/cardigans
and a lush new coat

Might go for some tweedy wide leg troosers and I am loving the dress linked above from asos

Cheers Putdown.

I will mostly be wearing my usual stuff - ie: pencil skirts or fifties style skirts with fitted tops / or wide-legged trousers.

However, I have also recently bought - some slim leg black trousers / some peg ankle-length trousers / a lovely long grey open cardigan.

Now I need:

• Tights
• New shoes - any recs for comfortable but smart but not boring black shoes for work?
• something loungey to change into after work

I love Autumn clothes.

oh yes, we need a "loungey but lovely" thread, I think

I have found Noa Noa in House of Fraser in the past, janeite, if that's any help.

Thanks Horton - never seen it in our one but will have a proper look next time I'm in there.

Yep, Tulpe, it was M&S - £100. In the Guardian G2 yesterday,not sure if online yet.

I may have to invest in new 'good' skinnies once the baby weight is off ... I let my friend borrow mine for a night out a few months ago and said she could keep them for the duration, since I am pg and all ... and she's worn them virtually every day!!! And she's at home with 2 dcs!!! they are trashed And, dare I say it, stretched.

Tulpe - sounds good! I must admit I tend to go from normal to PJ with nothing in between.

oh, if it's loungey yet lovely you want, check out Hush, Pyjama Room & Wellicious!!

need loungey, lovely and pretty cheap though - have told dp I need no more new clothes until Christmas!

Pyjama Room and Hush get a big thumbs up from me, too.
