Outfit updates and what's on my wish list

Hi there everyone.
Well it's definitely getting colder out there and that can mean only one thing. Time to go jumper shopping.
I'm still in love with the mustard yellow knit I bought last month but I have had my eye on getting the same design but in cream.
And this want is a practical one, honest. You can only wear an item like that so many times before it needs to be retired to the laundry basket.
Also cream being a neutral colour would mean it would go with a few more things as an ensemble.

I've also seen in good ole Primark a knotted jumper that is navy blue and dark beige. But unfortunately it is a long jumper. It would look ok with leggings but with jeans, it made me look a bit dumpy.
I think I will have to sleep on that one.

Cardigans seem to have been the item of choice to keep me warm for the last few weeks. My favourites have to be my cream one with three quarter length sleeves and an autumnal rusty red cardigan with full length sleeves.
Both these cardigans go with anything and are very comfortable.
The cream one does call for the accompaniment of my long fingerless gloves however.

Even though the colder months are upon us, lately I have felt my more girly feminine side calling me and have been looking at finding a couple of casual dresses and teaming them with leggings so I'm still warm.
I like the idea of wearing my black army style boots with something I might find to dress it down a bit during the wee. I'm not one for wearing dresses much and only really dress up when I go out. And even then, it has taken me a long time to muster the courage to wear dresses.
But, I suppose there's no time like the present. And what with Christmas, my birthday and new years coming up, there will be more occasions to break out a lovely frock or two.

So, that's it for my wish list for now. I'm sure I'll see some more lovely items when I'm window shopping next so say tuned for that.
But for now, I'll sum up with one of my outfits from last week.
The top and Jacket are from New Loo. Top- £6.99
Military style jacket - £10 down from £20 in the sale. ( it's an old favourite)

The jeans and cardigan are from Primark. As are the boots I was wearing.

Winter warmers

Hello there. I know I'm a bit late in writing this post but here it is. A run down, with photos and info on where I found these wonderful buys, in my stock up for the chilly months ahead.

First off is a pair of cream wooly arm warmers. These are so so cosy and warm. And having the blessing of smaller hands does mean that even though they are fingerless, my mini digits are pretty munched covered from that frosty air.
They came from Primark at a toasty price of £4.00.

*quick tip. When you do find you're out in the elements a lot this winter I recommend moisturising your hands a lot. Personally I find that my hands get very dry and chapped especially if I have forgotten to take my gloves out. You don't have to buy a separate hand cream of you don't want to. I find just your run of the mill body lotion can do the trick just as well.

Next up is a lovely deep purple hat. I love the colour and although the look is pretty much a beret. I have found you can manipulate it into a more subtle slouched angle. Again it is wool and therefore very warm and snug.
This hat came from NewLook in the sale for £1.50! An awesome bargain I thought!

Moving on slightly south to the neck department. My second favourite but of the month is this extra long, olive green woollen scarf.
Very, very warm and plenty of length do you can wrap to your hearts content :) I must say I do tend to wrap two times, one reason being for warmth but the other being, if I leave it too long. It does look a bit daft. But hey who said being practical and fashionable can't be done in one fail swoop... Or should that be wrap?

Finally. My favourite and actually the last winter purchase I made was this jumper. Crochet design in a gorgeous autmunal mustard yellow. This wool jumper is super cosy and warm but ultimately I feel great wearing it. It makes me look and feel mature and I feel it flatters my figure too.
This lovely buy was another find from Primark at £10. Not bad indeed.

So there you have it. The start of my winter wardrobe. I'm planning to go pj shopping soon. You can't beat curling up on the sofa on a cold winters night in a lovely, comfy pair of pyjamas.
I'll let you know how that goes soon.

Oh yeah before I go I wanted to post a photo of a weekend bag I bought I hole back for traveling up to my mums. An who knows it might help you lovely ladies out if your planing on jet setting off somewhere this Christmas.
I bought this bag in Primark. I can't remember the price now. But I love the design and it had quite a fair but of room. It was also quite light which is a good thing once you've added your straiteners and book for the journey. He only thing is, you could only fit one change of shoes in and about three days worth of tops in. I must admit I was glad to be so petite considering how small my top's can be ;) . But other than that it was a good buy. The handles were tough and the bag withstands the trek on the train including two changes. Pretty much does what its meant to do. Hold your things for a short weekend.

I hope you enjoyed this run down. What will you be buying this season to keep warm?
Have you got any tips to beat those Christmas blues?

Until next time. Take care.
