I can't believe how the temperatures have dropped this last week in Wales! Just 11 days ago I arrived home from my buying trip in the USA, and the weather here was glorious, so much so that I was still running around in bare legs. This week however it felt like it was freezing already! But I must say for those of you that are new to my blog, and don't know me yet, I just love Autumn and Winter from a fashion state of mind. I get really excited about all the layers I can wear. You can have so much fun concocting outfit combinations, just be sure to pick your pieces carefully so you don't end up looking like some sartorially inspired mad scientist.
So girl's why not have some fun being adventurous with our autumn/winter vintage/retro collection here at Paris Texas Vintage?
Here is my guide to layering:
The key to being warm but not bulking up starts with innerwear. You will need the right pair of tights and an under-the-sweater base layer in the thinnest merino you can, thin fabric really keeps the warmth in.
Cashmere and merino is the softest and warmest kind of wool, and are always preferable to cotton ones, sweatshirts and hoodies are also great if they are fleece lined. Throw any of these over a pretty summer dress or pair with a mini skirt and tights.
Faux fur coats and jackets provide warmth, a touch of luxury, and an instant injection of cool! and for all you rock chicks a leather biker jacket will keep you toasty if you add a thin merino base layer inner jacket available from all good mountaineer shops like Blacks. I use one under all my spring jackets and it never shows and definitely does the trick.
