November...

So it's seems to be November already, how did that happen?
Vogue dropped into my postbox almost two weeks ago and I have only managed to read approximately two articles, gosh I must have been busy, that. never. happens. My wardrobe is also suffering. I just haven't been shopping. Again very unusual. Instead I have been delving into my wardrobe to make do (god I hate that phrase) with what I already have.
So the gems of my wardrobe include: my cream fur coat which I got from Topshop last winter. It made it's first appearance of the year on bonfire night and attracted a fair few compliments. Thanks to our balmy October it just hasn't been cold enough to wear until now, but now I am once again enjoying its cosiness.
My fringed leather jacket also purchased from...yes that's right Topshop, which I have worn non-stop since I bought it last year. It is just so useful, throw it over leggings, a vest and a natty scarf and job done, or rather outfit done. It also does a great job of toughening up a floral tea dress.
So that's jackets/coats dealt with. Now what to wear underneath? This is where I've been having problems. I really only wear one pair of jeans at the moment, a faded green pair from Zara, which I still love but have more of a spring vibe. I only own about five pairs of jeans all of which either don't fit or I hate with a passion. It is time to admit defeat and go jeans shopping, not a pleasant experience I think you will all agree. Unless that is you are built like a 16 year-old beanpole, in which case I am justified in despising you. My hips seem to have come from another person entirely as they bear no relation to my upper body, which as you can imagine makes jeans-hunting something of a military exercise. So when will I be brave enough to tackle it? Oh maybe next week, it's simply too painful....In the meantime I'll stick to my fail safe looks, a favourite being my floral tea dress, black leggings, biker boots, copious amounts of gold jewelry and of course the fringed leather jacket.
