Layers and a LBD

In the summer holidays I came across this woollen little black dress, which has a great deconstructional feel about it, with an asymmetric neck and hemline which I love, as well as it being bodycon style too. its by United Colours of Benetton and was about £4 from the Sense charity shop.

My other fave find was from last week and was this grey top from H&M, which is just right for layering-this makes this LBD totally wearable for winter and its certainly a cosy, comfy outfit too!

I still need to get used to high heels, I'm only comfy from the knees upwards, LOL!!

Farhi Skirt Find!!

In my wardrobe, I have a lot of jeans, a lot of dresses, a lot of tops, but not a lot of skirts-to be precise after more thrifting recently, I've 2 black skirts, 3 denim skirts and 2 summer skirts.

This includes this fabulous find last month at the Cancer Research charity shop-it's by Nicole Farhi and was only £4.25!!!

I chose it not just for the label, but the gorgeous pattern and the fullness-it is lined and feels very full and swingy to wear. I'm very picky when it comes to skirts, maybe thats why I don't have many in my wardrobe!!

What sort of items are scarce in your wardrobe, I'd love to know??

Thrift Inspiration, Doing it Designers Style!!

According to the Grazia Catwalk report, pink is very much in trend this A/W season, so I was happy that one of my most recent purchase's fitted this category nicely without breaking the bank!

My fab find a little while back was this Pink wool cable 3/4 length sleeve cardigan from Next, which was thrifted from the Saint Francis Hospice charity shop for half price-It was £2, reduced to £1, LOL!! Its a perfect cover up for wearing in summer evenings and also in autumn.

It will go with most pieces in my wardrobe, especially dresses and jeans and a camisole top underneath.

Will you be in pink next season?

Drapes

I've been waiting for some cooler weather to wear my Issey Miyake cardigan/jacket. When I did its debut post, I had worn it done up but I wanted to wear it as an open cardi, showing off the waterfall effect it gives.

I'm wearing my plum suede ankle boots and my Gap draped cerise tee-everything worn is a charity shop find, surprise, surprise!!

So. this is my summer to autumn default outfit-cardi/jacket, tee, jeans and ankle boots. What is your transitional outfit of choice?
