Some people will think I haven't got my head on straight but it seems as if the high streets grasp of this seasons trends are somewhat left me wanting more.
Its safe to say that even the most fashion blind of us out there know that to have a chunky knit cardigan with snowflakes on it is the 'in' thing this winter but unless you got yours from primark you'll have a £30 cardigan that will look stupid as soon as boxing day. I'm sure that I'm safe in saying that not everyone can afford to update their wardrobe when Grazia tells us we must. When Christmas is over the magazines will be an the countdown to summer and the snowflake cardigan will be left forgotten at the bottom of our wardrobe.
On the other hand there are a few things this winter that will stand the test of time in my wardrobe, luckily it seems that winter has come early and the military coat will happily see us through to the end of March. In desperate need of a new coat I bought a olive green military coat from primark which was cheap enough to forget about when the sun decides to heat the air enough for a blazer to suffice (yay). I love it already and my new coat can lovingly collect my rubbish in its pockets until the first rays of spring sunshine sneak through the October to March gloom.
So long the live the military coat and snuggly winter boots we have to wear until it's warm enough to wear gladiator sandals and bare legs again.
Despite the cold, this week has been filled with clear skies which provide a air tight excuse to wear our sunnies to keep the bleak winter sun out of our eyes.
As a believer that I should inhabit a warmer country I am very susceptible to the cold and keeping warm is on the top of my list... gloves will be bought as soon as possible and fleecy jammies and thick socks and more layers... the list goes on. No snowflake cardies will be found in my shopping bags though, thats for sure.
