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.
