Without being the bearer
of bad news (please don't shoot the messenger or we at MizEllie won't be able
to bring you fab fashion and costume jewellery or women's scarves) but winter
isn't far off. We're already in September and I don't know about you but we at MizEllie have noticed a
distinct nip in the air in the last couple of years. So if the British seasons
are anything to go by it could get quite wintery quite quickly so why not be
prepared and start getting together a winter capsule wardrobe now?
The idea of a capsule
wardrobe is that you have a few key pieces that work together and can take you
through the winter with style. So what pieces should you look to invest in this
year?
A coat
It may sound really
obvious but a great coat is a winter must have. Ideally you will have a smarter
one that can be worn for work etc and a waterproof one (unless you can find one
that combines both which would be fab). If you already have a coat but want to
give it a boost why not buy some fab costume jewellery? A great broach (or you could
even sew on a stud earring or necklace) will really add a new touch to your
coat without having to go to the expense of buying a new one.
However, if you are buying
a new coat make sure you opt for one that suits you and is going to be
fashionable in years to come so take time to find the perfect look.
Scarves, hats and gloves
Let's face it we live in
Britain and our winters can get a bit cold so you are going to need layers. A
fab pair of investment gloves (leather is always a great option but you may
want something warmer when the temperatures drop), a warm snugly scarf and a
winter hat will always be your best friends in winter. A great women's scarf is
also a fab way of brightening up a dull winter coat (at MizEllie we love
teaming up our black wool coat with a bright or animal print scarf so you are
warm but stylish at the same time – what's not to love?)
Winter boots
A stylish waterproof pair
of winter boats will be a life saver in winter. Something like a Chelsea boot
is oh so in right now and can be dressed up or down so can go from the office
to a night out and will keep your feet dry at the same time.
Thick tights
OK it's not an item of
clothing as such but well tights are something of a wardrobe essential. If you
are a skirt wearer you will know just how cold your legs can get in winter so
you are going to need a good pair of thick tights (well you will probably need
more than one pair but you know what we mean). They are also really handy under
trousers if it gets really cold.
Get the look for less
OK you can't get a coat
from MizEllie but you can get some great women's scarves which don't cost the
earth saving you some pennies towards that winter coat and those boots.
What are your winter
wardrobe essentials? Why not let us know in the comment's section below.
Cheers your MizEllie team
