    What winter fashion are you loving this season?

    I'm really liking the roll neck knit dresses and tunic shift style dresses, with tights or leggings.

    And wedge ankle boots, gives the height but without the pain of heels. I've been stalking the postie for these which just arrived:

    Also wanting to get a below the knee flat pair in a suede style, but don't like any i've seen lately....

    I'm liking the skinny leg jeans but don't have the figure to pull them off this year unfortunately!

    I've seen denim coloured leggings around though so probably get a pair to go with the dresses.

    What are you liking/getting?

    Nice boots! I love Sigerson Morrison, DH however, is not so keen on my penchant for pricey shoes

    Not really one to follow what's in but I do enjoy winter clothes, lots of layers! I'm looking forward to....
    big chunky scarves
    tights under pretty floral dresses and a nice cardy
    wearing my favourite duffle coat and beret

    They were $425 down to $197 (which i know is still obscene ) But the leather is amazing, i have never felt leather so soft! and for the height they are unbelievably comfortable. And yeah whether wedges are in or not i'll still wear them so i will get my money's worth

    I love beret's but don't know if they suit me...?

    At home i like the woolly hats that have flaps over your ears LOL, i call them beaver hats, not sure what they're actually called?

    I actually saw some at Kmart the other day! They were a bit thin though quality wise, but with boots and a warm dress they'd be fine.

    I'm loving the military style fashion, especially the jackets, but couldn't resist this dress! Just arrived in the mail:

    Looks great with the ankle boots.

    Still wondering if i can pull off a beret....

    ... thanks heaps for the tip, might not be warm enough for the Winter weather but all the same will check 'em out

    Oh me too have always be a lover of the military style, something sexy about ... Tried on a military black Winter coat in Target the other day but looked better on the hanger than on me

    M .. i say go for the red beret to wear with that gorgeous dress, hat's don't look great with my style of hair so i got my DD last Winter a red beret it looked so adorable on her

    Supre does them in about ten different kinds, they're awesome I even have a pair in red and black leopard-print!!

    I haven't really seen much that I *love* so far this season... I'm glad that over-the-knee boots are back again but I'm more a lace-up, thigh-high (hooker lol!) kinda girl, so I'm still holding out for the $1500 boots that Willow did last season Most OTK boots I've seen so far this season are pirate-style (ie really wide at the opening and no heel), no good


    ETA: Okay, military-style jackets. I want one. Cropped, preferably, although I don't have the waist/hips for it... it just looks so cute! I might even invest in a leather bomber/biker this year, we'll see how I go

    I've got an Advanced Diploma in Make Up Artistry (ITEC certified) so feel free to ask me any questions too (theatrics, special effects, face/body painting...)

    Haven't worn the dress yet, saving it for Sunday, DH & I are going to High Tea at a beachside cafe near us (without the kids YAY!). It'll be windy and in this weather my hair goes curly, so might look for a beret.... any recommendations???

    Boots. I want to buy a pair of brown leather under the knee, flat heeled boots. I've been looking for a few weeks and can't find any I like that are real leather and/or don't have buckles all over them

    I lost my beret that I've had for years I haven't seen any around so far, only knitted beanie types. I'm going to get a few this year because I'll be out every morning for the school run and it gets quite cold here.

    I hear you, buckles and studs seem to be on all of them this winter! Though i have seen very plain ones at Rivers which usually make good quality shoes, so they might be leather... but the styles were a little um, nanna, reminded me of homy peds (no offence )

    TD my PND affects my motivation but I find if i try to make an effort to look better i do feel better. Though hey i still have days where i'm still in my pjs come dinner time! And they're not fancy ones either, i tend to skimp on pjs because no one sees them.
