Layering up-Missoni, faux fur and leather

So far this season I haven't yet worn any of my winter coats, instead I have been layering up and getting out old favourites.

I hadn't worn my Missoni foulard for a long while and its vibrant colours of purple, orange and gold thread will liven up a winter outfit. Last year I thrifted this faux fur gilet for only £2, which is a modern one from New Look. Its great as a layering piece over a leather or denim jacket and as you can see here, with a cashmere cardi underneath, I am really cosied up!!

Wearing Primark leather biker jacket (thrifted), New Look faux fur gilet (thrifted), M&S grey cashmere cardigan (thrifted), M&S grey skinny jeans, black ugg style suede boots, Gucci handbag (thrifted) and Missoni foulard (thrifted)


How are you keeping warm at the moment-are you in your winter coat or piling on the layers?

You look lovely, all layered-up. I am gradually adding layers - and looking forward to a time when it's cold enough to wear my fake fur coat, The Beast!

Looks fab and now it has gone a bit parky I could do with one!! xx

PS I loved your photo with your hair down

fab layering look, my dear!

actually, it is so cold over here that I do both: layering with a cardi and something underneath AND a warm coat :)

Please may I? said...

Well you look lovely and snug! What a great find.

I often think it is a shame to cover up an outfit with a big winter coat. Layering is a good alternative. It looks great, really cosy too.

I love your layers and foulard is one of my favourite words (after jerkin!). x

Great find, Sharon! I haven't started with the layering yet - but soon the fur vests will come out! xo

You look warm and very stylish!
Love the gray, black and brown mixture with the colorful scarf.
Have a lovely week,

It's just becoming chillier here so have not really started wearing heavy clothes in earnest. Still, my scarves have already come in useful, as has one hot pink jacket I had not work all of last year. I desperately need a beautiful pair of black rain-proof shoes & black boots, and I want them to be leather, possibly vintage & a European size 39. HAve you come across anything like that lately?

I like the vest (as we'd say in the US) over the jacket...very clever!

Love your layered look! It doesn't always work too well for me so I am always the first to pull on my coats and boots.

Mmmmmmmm, cashmere! It's so rare to find cashmere in a charity shop (for me anyway- just one brown jumper in Barking once!) I love the furry body warmer too!

Thrifted Missoni! You do find some gems! What a lovely colour the scarf is. I'm definitely layering up these days.

Seriously, you find the *best* thrift store gems ever! I love the scarf and bag with the neutral colored clothes -- looks very chic!

It's gotten cold over here so I'm layering a lot, but soon I'll have to bring out the coats. I found some great ones at our local thrift store though, so I'm looking forward to wearing those! :o)
