I'm trying not to buy any new clothes until Nov, but its hard, I really want to go shopping... I've never really got into coloured tights, even though I love them on other people somehow I've never really worn them myself, but I do totally agree on a flash of colour between a dark outfit and a dark boot could be lively. And boy do I love boots. But, I have a complete weakness for suede boots, (I have two sets in black, one in brown, one in pink, one in grey) which are amazing, but then you have to spray them to water protect and even after they aren't great for walking through the rain. So I'm looking for some more waterproof ones this year, and ones I can walk and even run in as oppose to just pose in...
OMG COATS. Last year I just stuck to the coat I had had the season before, which is a nice teal colour, but I think I'm definitely gonna get another one this year because there are many many many around everywhere you look. I am impressed at the existence of a plaid coat but wouldn't wear it myself, the pattern is too big for me and I don't think it would be necessarily be loved as much by me in a season or two... I don't want a black coat, but a classic white or cream with big black buttons would be excellent, or maybe even a bright red one. Hmmmmm.
I have such issues with hats, I feel very insecure wearing them, but I want to fight this irrational faer because again, most of the time hats on other people look awesome, and also it means you can blame the hat if your hair looks a bit rubbish. And you know, they do actually keepe you warm and shiz. I wear scarves with everything btw - a range of pashminas and lovely thick wool. Mmm, cosy. I've always thought those glovitten things look both useful and stupid, probably because I have a long and abiding hate for mittens, but perhaps this season I will buckle and buy some. Hmmm. We'll see.
