Knits

 I took a trip to primark to buy some little stocking fillers, and I came out £50 poorer! What I've realised is that most of my jumper nowadays are too short to wear with tight jeans. They're fine with skirts, but it's a bit nippy at the moment and I wanted some proper big warm jumpers that covered my belly. Primark has had tons of jumpers this season but whenever I've been in there recently everything has been pretty much cropped, so I was excited to find some proper winter jumpers this week! All three jumpers I bought are a size 20, but would EASILY fit bigger as they're designed to be generous.
 This first one is ACE! It's soft, thick and super comfy. £10 bargain! This came in a coral-like orange colour too, and I was sorely tempted to buy both, but you'll see later why I went for the blue!
 I love this even more after seeing these pictures, the knitted pattern is more obvious from far away!
 I'm wearing some new high-waisted jeans / trousers from Dorothy Perkins in size 22.
 I couldn't resist getting this excelent lime green jumper! It's pretty neon in real like - somewhere between lime and acid green! £14.
 This is a tighter knit than the blue one, and has a slightly rougher feel, which is to be expected with this style of jumper. It's still lovely and comfy (wore it all day yesterday!) and it's very very warm.
 This is a perfect jumper if it's cold inside, and it fits fine under my coats. Ace of base!
 This has a step hem, but it's not obvious so it doesn't bother me!
 These are my new coated jeans from Dorothy Perkins. A generous size 22, which is nice as I've never been able to get into a pair of coated jeans before!
 They kind of look like leather, but obviously are more comfy and less sweaty! These will be brilliant in the very cold and wet weather that will probably arrive in January, great in the snow too because the coating will keep them quite dry! The only downside is that when I walk the sound between my thighs make a sound like a steam train leaving the station! I decided that I didn't care because these were so surprisingly comfortable!
 So I had to have the neon orange version! (again, it's brighter in real life than the flash would suggest!).
 I decided to get this orange one rather than the orange version of my blue one because this style is a little smarter.
 Eating my cupcake decoration!
These are Topshop earrings designed by Central Saint Martins students, on sale for £8 here. I ordered the big dangly orange pair too (which are ace!) and the orange necklace to match. Very sadly the necklace arrived in shards so I have to return it. It was quite literally smashed to pieces! Terrible packaging - no padding or protection at all. It's miraculous that the earrings arrived in one piece!

Late Wardrobe weekly

 Monday
This feels like about a month ago now! this is me struggling with the weather. Scuba skirt (which is too hot for summer) but bare legs (which are too cold for Autumn!).
Anyway... I got this shirt in the George sale. There was just one left and I had never seen it on the site at full price, but it reminded me of my favourite vintage dress (black and white stripes with flowers over the top) so I had to put it in my basket!

Tuesday
 I learnt my cold leg lesson and wore leggings on Tuesday! This is such a good dress, I've worn it and washed it enough to make it a bit bobbly, but it's still ace... to think I almost sent it back!
 Cheapo necklace from Primark that is super glittery in real life, and they have it in silver as well as gold.
The shoes opened up while I was getting off the tube so I changed the ankle strap round so the fastening is now on the inside. Easier to access and harder to knock open!

Wednesday
 Newest vintage Evans dress!
 I decided to wear a belt with it, but I think I prefer it without. I have't decided yet! Of course the original belt is minuscule compared to the dress itself (somethings never change!).
Still love my cube earrings a much as I did when I first got them!

Thursday
It's the perfect time of year for all my vintage stash. I can't wear vintage synthetic fabrics when it's hot, but some of the clothing is lightweight and has short sleeves or doesn't look right with winter layering, so autumn is the time I go vintage-crazy!
This super over the top sparkly 80's jacket is an ebay buy I got ages ago. It's so very glittery!

Cocktails after work on Friday so I decided to wear this lovely frock. I haven't worn this for ages!
