Happy Friday lovelies, I thought I would do something different today. I was looking through my wardrobe and realised that I am not as winter ready as I thought. There are some serious gaps that need to be filled if I am going to stay warm this season.
That being said I don't really want to spend too much so I devised a shopping list of things of things I NEED and hope I can stick to it. (not too likely but we shall see)
Jumpers/ Sweaters/ Knitwear
I love lounge wear. If you know me, you will know the moment I step through my house door I put on some comfy clothes. Huge confession - I probably own a lot more PJs than I should admit. Knitwear, Sweaters, Jumpers are key staples for me as an oversized jumper paired with some skinny jeans and boots is my ultimate outfit for most of the year.
Tops
I have recently started an internship which I am enjoying BUT I need more appropriate clothes. Usually the amount of clothes (which isn't a lot) I won does not bother me but I began to realise that I needed more smart casual tops so I don't end up in a style rut and wearing the same thing everyday.
Dresses
Again this is pretty much the same. If you had asked me when I saw 13 would I wear dresses chances are I would say no. I was a total tomboy and felt like I would not be allowed to run around in a dress. Fast forward to 2013 and I have to say I love dresses. I wear them on a regular basis whether it is to work with a blazer and heels or with a sweater and boots. Either way a complete staple which I need a couple more of this season.
Boots
The boots I currently own are from Primark - last year! I need to upgrade them asap. I've seen so many nice ones lately. I want a nice classy pair with a slight edge to them so I can wear them to work without looking like a scruff. At the moment I have another pair of shoes in the office for times when I need to be a lot more formal.
Slipper socks/ winter socks
Warm socks do make such a difference. I use to laugh at my dad when he would say wear some socks if I mentioned I was cold but I have to eat my words and say it makes a big difference. I bought a pair of snuggly socks from Primark, which last a very long time but my sister has taken some so I need some new ones. They are perfect for christmas day too for lounging around the house in comfy clothes. They are less than £5 for two pairs and last for a long time! Get some and see the difference.
Gloves
My hands get incredibly dry over the winter time. I am always washing up, out and about so a pair of gloves is a must. Because of my dry hands (A few years ago I had to go to the GP because of it) I am a bit fussy when it comes to gloves. They don't have to cost a lot but I do look around before just buying the first pair I see.
And there is my winter shopping list. I hope you have enjoyed reading this as much as I have enjoying writing it. Let me know what is on your list.
P.S BIG SAVING TIP - For good deals on the items I have mentioned check out your supermarket clothing lines. The quality is good and the prices are not sky high. Happy shopping!
