As someone who naturally reaches for a jumper rather than turning the heating up I was very interested to read IllusClaire's post asking us to do just that this coming weekend (starting on 11th).
And though this is deffinitely a chance to invest in some of winter's key pieces such as a Snuggly Snood, you can also have fun layering up those clothes you already have in your wardrobe.
And snoods are not the only cosy thing you can layer, this is one trend that thinks of comfort.
You can try experimenting with different tops, filling in a low neckline with a high one underneath or putting a sleeveless vest top over a full length sleeved one.
I particularly like layering tops under dresses for going out. I'm not willing to give up my lighter floral ones just yet so putting a warm top on underneath seems a good way to go. You can colour block or mix prints, just don't forget some thick tights!
Socks are also fun to experiment with and are a cheap way to add to your winter wardrobe, and looking at the ss10 Burberry catwalk they're a trend that's around to stay too.
As Claire said, 'Lets show the world that we not only care, but that we're willing to find a positive side to cutting carbon emissions and to enjoy keeping our world safe.'
And it is a fantastic idea you had! I'll deffinitely be joining
in.
Great post! I'm really glad that you're on board with this; I meant to tell you that it was your post mentioning the Hello Kitty Magazine "put on a jumper" tip that really cemented my intention to get this ball rolling.
Nice sets, too.. especially those socks on the last one. Ooo, want! (though not for SIXTY POUNDS GOSH)
