Its beginning to get cold here in Aussieland what with winter fast approaching! Which means…. New wardrobe time!
A couple weeks ago I went through all my summer stuff and the bi-annual change over which involves packing all my really summery items (like shorts, bikini’s etc) and swapping them over for my knits, thicker cardigans, boots etc. I find that this is also a fantastic time to de-clutter and get rid of the items that I know I will no longer wear in either summer next year or this winter! I also find that this change over means that I get a chance to get ‘reacquainted’ with what I own and what I need to add to my wardrobe.
So this winter there are a few essentials that I need to replace/purchase:
The Black Blazer: the last one I purchased lasted 3 years & was fantastic! Totally cinched in at the waist (one button) & had the most amazing red lining. I think the black blazer is a total staple as it looks HOT with skinny leg jeans + super high stiletto heels/boots and just as fab when worn for the office!
A New Pair of Bardot Jeans: My GOD I heart Bardot jeans! I am a little bit on the small (read: short) size and find that the hunt for the perfect skinny leg jeans can be tragic! In most cases I find they whilst they may fit perfect at the waist the ‘behind the knee’ section is not skinny enough – this is not because I have skinnier than most knees but rather that where my knees are is where most people’s thighs are – hence its not skinny enough! But the bardot ones are perfect! In the middle of summer Myer was having a sale where I managed to pick up 2 pairs of Bardot jeans (in exactly the same style & colour unfortunately) for $70 each! This season I am keen to get their Pia Hipster Jeggings and the Tahlia denim jeans.
Flat boots (knee length): I love my leather brown pointy toe slouchy flat boots; they look great with leggings and a shirt dress or short dress. Last winter I got a pair of cheapy grey synthetic boots that were knee length (I would love to get an over the knee pair but I think with my height that they ‘cut me off’ and make me look even smaller in stature! Boots ending just before the knee is a perfect compromise!) That I adored & are still in reasonably good condition (thanks Rubi shoes) – I think this season is time to look at an investment leather pair!
Are there any basics that you’re wanting to get this season?
