Hi Everyone
Did you have snow yet? I have a feeling in my bones we are going to get some in London soon, It’s freezing! This is the time of year I pop to Tescos in my fur jacket and not worry about feeling overdressed!
However today the sun is shining! But it is absolutely freezing! This outfit today is worn for the #mystylephotochallenge on Instagram . The challenge was Trousers not Jeans. I only realised looking through the wardrobe I really don’t have a lot of winter trousers! lots of jeans yes, trousers no.
I know what to look for in the run up to next winter don’t I…
Trousers Marks and Spencer + no longer available
Jumper FandF similar HERE
Boots Marks ans Spencer similar HERE
Bag Nadia Minkoff HERE
It wont be long till we are thinking about what new items we will be adding to our summer wardrobe, from what I’m hearing there are not too many changes in the trends…….
SUEDE
I saw these culottes at the fashion show last year, really great designer quality. Now in sale so you will have to be quick £40.00 HERE a great price for real suede . These could easily help sail me into summer. A chunky jumper for now and a silk shirt for warmer weather….
LEATHER
A no brainer! I don’t think leather or faux leather is EVER going to go out of fashion I am always on the look out for bargain leather finds
This just went strait on my wish list! faux leather in my favourite must have colour! This is from Top Shop HERE £55.00 It’s calf length, and will look great with a floaty summer top
Bomber Jackets
I am totally in love with this blush bomber jacket from Marks And Spencer HERE blush, I love this colour and I think it is going to be a big hit for this years SS16 this jacket is not available yet, but when it is I will be one of the first to buy. It will work hard and go with a lot in my wardrobe
Lace
Lace, any shop you walk into, it’s still going to be available. I think being more mature myself, you have to be careful where lace is concerned. Too black and you can end up looking like the old black widow! This here above and how it’s styled for me is perfect. This beautiful white number is from Wallis HERE £20.00 was £35.00
MESH
The new trends are also reporting that MESH will be making an appearance, a little more edgy and not so girlie as lace.This would be great with white jeans or shorts in the summer HERE £19.00
Roll on the warmer weather!!
Have a great weekend

Love the culottes! I didn't realise they were back in fashion! I also love the blush bomber jacket. Thanks for linking up and sharing with us at #overthemoon
Love the color of your trousers! Nice.
Laurie, I love your outfit and curation! (Yes, we've had snow in the Midwestern U.S., but not nearly enough for my tastes.) I have a confession…I hated culottes when I was a kid, but, now, I am dying for a pair. I have to find some really cute ones like those silk ones for this spring.
