It's February and there is the tiny hint of change in the air. The nights are getting cooler and a few of the leaves have started to dry out and slowly change colour. I cant wait for winter. Crazy? Maybe, but it's my favourite season. I love everything about winter.
The "first drop" of winter fashion has started to arrive in stores. This is my signal to start sorting. What I have, what I need and what I want. Over the years I've developed my own style. The outfit's I wear time and time again. The things that work for me and suit my lifestyle. It's one of the many things I enjoy about getting older. No longer do I feel the need to spend a small fortune on this season must have. I might pick one or two things replace something that is worn out or add a splash of this seasons colour, but overall I stick with what I know suits me and suits my lifestyle. I like the ease of winter layering. Starting with a simple silhouette of core pieces then adding scarves, jackets, hats, gloves, and boots. So what are my core pieces for winter?
Weekend/casual wear will always be jeans or tights, a fine wool jumper and a jacket. Depending on what I'm doing I'll wear boots or flats. I then pull the look together with a scarf. I've also fallen hard for the poncho over the last few seasons. It's a more relaxed and fun look than the jacket and it a great way to breath new life into the core basics.
I also noticed a lot of lace up shoes. I'm approaching this trend with caution. It could be tricky. Much like over the knee boot where it's a fine line between chic and cheap, this flat lace up could have you looking totally on trend or like you are wearing school shoes.
