Thrift Inspiration, doing it Etro's way!

Well, following on from yesterdays post, I thought I would show you the Topshop gilet I managed to thrift yesterday. I have been inspired by Etro and Guccis gilets this autumn, but I didn't want a full furry one, as the majority of them are dry clean only, so too high maintenance if I'm going to wear regularly!

Etro also featured a gorgeous black and leather studded one in S/S 08

I'd love one like this too, sigh...!!

Now its been freshly laundered, its ready to go and will go with virtually anything in my wardrobe. It is a handy addition to keep me cosy and stylish. I have my wool gilet too, so thats my fill of this trend for now!

Have a great Sunday!!

Topshop Waistcoats and Gilets

I love browsing different sites for thrift inspiration. I was after a warm gilet, but not a totally fur one or a puffa padded one. I browsed Topshop and got some great inspiration from these gorgeous ones, currently available online:

Mongolian Sheepskin Gilet, £85

Tailored Waistcoat, £40

The lovely Marian at House of Style is wearing a customised waistcoat very similiar to the grey one-check it out, as this is a great diy project which Marian shows to be very stylish indeed!



Leather hooded waistcoat, £60

Leather biker gilet, £75

So, armed with an idea of what I wanted on my thrift trip today, I was pleased to score a lovely fur and denim padded Topshop gilet for £3.99. I also got a leather mini skirt, £2.99, to wear with opaque tights, flat boots and a winter woollie jumper or cardi.

I'll update with piccys in the week, as our camera is out of action at the moment!! Hope you are all having a great weekend!

Top Tips for Lovely Knits

Browsing the Times earlier, I came across this article, which gives some great tips for dressing up knitwear this Autumn.

I think this is the time all of us will be stocking up not only on scarves, hats, gloves and tights, but always some statement knits in the form of jumpers, cardigans, dresses, waistcoats (vests) and even leggings.

What knitwear are you investing in this winter?
