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.

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.
