In case anyone was interested in more of my A/W wardrobe?

Harrumph.


I'm refusing to mention the (soaking, fecking wet) elephant in the room.  Suffice to say I'm drinking my way through - it has to be cheaper than turning the heating on. (when your windows are as drafty as ours that is.  That's my excuse & I'm sticking with it.) 


I can't even muster enthusiasm at mentioning S/S clothes. Seriously wtf is the point?  I do have a wedding to go to in Italy in August.  (which I may or may not have mentioned.....)  I have zero idea what I'm going to wear which, for those who know me in real life and have experience of my Event outfit shopping - all groan now.  I am a nightmare.  For other people - no problems at all.  Have recently had two personal shopping days with girls for wedding outfits, head to toe, both over the moon with their outfits (so they told me anyway!) 


But personally?  Epic Fail.  Put it this way - last wedding I went to of one of my best friends. Wedding was in Mayfair on a Saturday afternoon.  I was shopping for my outfit on Saturday morning in Covent Garden.  Oops.  I am a disaster when it comes to shopping for myself for weddings.  And the main reason is that I hate my knees.  I genuinely do not have great knees.  Think knees that have vomited other little knees down the front of my leg.  Double doughy knees.  It's not good.  Couple bulbous knees with white pasty shins, bony ankles, veiny feet and toes that look like fingers, it's no surprise that I favour trousers and shoes.  


I really probably should be thinking about it seeing as the sales are about to start and I may be able to bag a bargain.  But this weather is (she says dramatically going for the Oscar) Killing Me. 


So I shall leave the subject of wedding outfits for another day. 


And shall instead have a quick mention of the most delicious brand I came across recently whilst half heartedly surfing for an Italy outfit.  An indication of just how lacking my motivation was, what I found was in the boot section of Net A Porter.  Exactly.  I may still be trying to work out if I can swing, in any way shape or form, ankle boots to go with my outfit to justify buying them.  I'll be honest - it's not looking good.


So bollocks to the summer, let's talk something we can actually wear.  Boots. 


These are my new Lust for the A/W.  


Rag & Bone Classic Newbury boots

And the same in Black




Cute grey ankle boots as well from Rag & Bone. 




I think they're all lovely - the clothes from Rag & Bones are also stunning.  Definitely a label worth looking at for low price designer.   Can't wait to see the rest of their A/W footwear range.


And whilst we're on the subject of boots -( which frankly as I'm typing, I'm thinking isn't remotely stupid considering the amount of wear I've had out of my Ash Thelmas in the past couple of weeks.  They've barely left my feet)  a lovely cheaper option and one to watch as they may well go into sale in the next week or so, is this pair from Cos.




Now a massively dull round up of what I've been layering up in the past couple of days. 


For Sunday - well, God loves a trier.  I was giving it my all to will the sun to come out.  Fat lot of use that was.  My kids swam in the rain.  A vague attempt on my part to look summery.  I gave up on Monday.  For the record, I am freezing and ever so slightly pissed off in this photo....

A Rather Rubbish photo indoors yesterday as it didn't stop raining for us to take it outside.  As you can see, hair was the main casualty of the weather.

Now let's not all get too excited but tomorrow I believe we have 48 hours of "summer".  I can scarcely believe it - we may be able to shed a layer.  Watch this space. 


Would love to know how everyone else is coping with this weather and what you're wearing. Have you resorted to full on Winter garb?  Or are you braving the elements in flipflops and refusing to give in??!!
